Day 1
Service went live. Initially I connected at 8Mb/s but was capped at 2Mb/s. During this time my noise margin was around 7db. My connection was stable.

Day 2
No noticable change in service. Synchronisation lost once or twice.

Day 3
Speeds were ramped up and I manage to get a transfer speed of about 400-500KB/s at 8Mb/s. Service stable for most of the day. After about 6 hours I noticed multiple loses of synchronisation and the connection speed progressively backing off. It stablised at 3.8Mb/s with 11db noise margin.

Day 4
3.8Mb/s with 11db noise margin. Transfer speeds of about 280-320KB/s. My connection is stable.

My line attenuation has remained constant at 30db.

Do you have any predictions how the testing will go over the next week?

Personal experience with Nildram has been that their sales department is great but the support is totally dreadful - lack of staff so long waits on phone, inexperienced staff and dont respond to any emails.

Wish i'd gone with someone else tbh.

The benefit of only having a 1 month contract ;)
 
I also started on the 9th.

Internet Connection Status shows my connected speed as 8.1Mbps whereas the router UI displays 7.1Mbps :(

Bbmax measured 4.5Mbps earlier but is now indicating 1.4Mbps :eek:
