Post your FTTC line stats & unlocking info

It looks like I was switched to the 80/20 trial just after midnight.

It was just an experiment & miracles weren't expected & neither were they delivered, as confirmed by my stats.

My ISP also provided this confirmation info this afternoon:-

Did DML reset? Hopefully if you stay in sync for the next 42 hours you will stay at 32?
 
Well my SNR has dropped to 0.9 & 1.1 last night. DL werent effected and it has not dropped once..... god knows whats going on.

I've no idea if its noise on my line or noise internally
 
Well I can confirm that crosstalk is definitely an issue.

I have two phone lines into my property, one residential and one business. BT Infinity has been deployed on both lines and I am currently running the 80/20 trial on the residential line only, with the business Infinity running 40/20 on the new 17a profile.

Since being on the trial, I have been getting a DL speed of 45Mbps and an UL speed of 13Mbps. I have however been able to increase this by powering off the VDSL modems attached to both lines and only switching on the VDSL modem attached to the residential line. I am then able to synch at almost 57Mbps with a DL speed of 55Mbps and an UL speed of 14Mbps. If I power on the VDSL modem attached to the business line, the max attainable speed drops back to approx 48Mbps (see below).

I can't seem to get the graphs working.

Do they look for a certain IP?

They are initially set up to use the HG612 modem's default IP address of 192.168.1.1

If you have changed the modem's IP address for whatever reason, the batch files need to be edited to use the new IP address wherever 192.168.1.1 has been used.

This will be in the files TestStats2.BAT & getstats.BAT.

How are you physically connecting to the modem?

My setup is:-
Router WAN port --> HG612 LAN1 port

&

Router LAN4 port --> HG612 LAN2 port.
 
My router is 192.168.0.1, the Modem is 192.168.0.2. Modem LAN 2 is connected on the routers LAN port, number 4 IIRC not that it matters as it's just a basic switch port.

I'll change it in the batch files, will have to do a find and replace I think.
 
I've got some graphs now, so that worked. Not that I know what they mean! :p

Do I need the 24/7 logging on at all?

Ahah, that should sort it.

Just for curiosity, which router are you using & was 192.168.0.1 its default setting?
Mine's a Netgear WNR1000 v 3, still on its default setting of 192.168.1.254

Also, which version of Windows do you use?
I'm on Windows 7, but the scripts also work O.K. on a clapped out XP Pro machine with a Pentium 3 running at 733MHz & only 256MB of RAM (quite a bit slower though).
 
It's a D Link DIR 655.

I use 192.168.0.0/27 for my home network, always have and I use my own addressing scheme which is similar to works, so I know which device will be on which IP. If I ever run out of addresses (hardly likely) I'll just change it to a /26 netmask.

I'm not sure what the routers default settings are.

Hi All,

I wanted to say thanks for this incredibly useful, informative and accurate thread. I have been frustrated since getting FTTC over a year ago because of the lack of linestats. This has provided some much needed clarity....oh, the QOS tweak has also increased my upload from 8411kbps to 9162kbps.

As is the point of the thread, below are my stats.

I'm definitely looking forward to the 80/20 switch over (ISP side).

TDCat.
