Can anyone advise what these line stats are like? Seem to only connect at 512k everytime.

Cheers!

Data Transferred (Sent/Received) [MB/MB]: 621.64 / 954.36
Output Power (Up/Down) [dBm]: 11.5 / 15.5
Line Attenuation (Up/Down) [dB]: 31.5 / 56.0
SN Margin (Up/Down) [dB]: 22.0 / 27.0
Vendor ID (Local/Remote): TMMB / ALCB
Loss of Framing (Local/Remote): 0 / 0
Loss of Signal (Local/Remote): 95 / 0
Loss of Power (Local/Remote): 0 / 0
Loss of Link (Remote): 0
Error Seconds (Local/Remote): 65 / 0
FEC Errors (Up/Down): 0 / 0
CRC Errors (Up/Down): 0 / 36
HEC Errors (Up/Down): 0 / 8
 
thats cus your on a standard 512 connection,

you will need ADSLMAX to get the full speed from your line.

i think you will recive 4.0 / 4.5 mbit from your line.
 
It could still be a Max connection but if it is then it has had a capped profile assigned to it.

There isn't any obvious reason for that to be the case though as there is plenty of headroom with the SN margin, but it wouldn't be the first one I've seen that got capped by accident.
 
Hi, thanks for the replies.

According to Sam Knows the exchange has been ADSL Max enabled since March last year. I just had a chat with BT who are logging it as a fault on the line.

So are we certain it's not just the distance from the exchange? The signal is definitely high enough for me to connect at at least 2mb?

Cheers!
 
Those stats could give you 2-4Mb on Max but the line is too long to get a fixed rate 2Mb connection.

As long as you are really on an 'up to 8Mb' product then you should be doing a lot better than 512Kb.

That doesn't mean your line was switched - your ISP would have to have ordered a regrade, it wasn't automatic. Not having been switched isn't really indicative of a fault, but the monkeys were probably just fobbing you off.

If your ISP is BT Retail, you might find that they've decided your line is "too long" (read: attenuation is too high) to get anything of any value.
 
Thanks, it is indeed BT. If I get them to up the speed profile will I suffer disconnects with those stats?
 
If you go onto Max (or any other rate adaptive service) you might. To some extent, it will depend how much your SNR margin varies.
