How can you work out how many metres away from the Cabinet?

Here is the stats for the first 15 lines on park...
We have lines between 700m and 1200m - all running on profile 17a.
We have capped people for now at 50Meg although realistically at these distances only a couple of these people could exceed that.
We have managed to get a 700m line on 75Meg Down / 17Meg Up but put it back to 50 for now...
A few nice suprises we've had...

1100m line synced reliably at 50Meg Down / 7Meg Up
1170m line synced reliably at 48Meg Down / 6.8Meg Up..

COmments welcome!

very nice, what kind of DLM if any are you running on your cabs?

Ive seen hundreds of stats and can usually guess the distance, there isn't an exact science behind it just a rough idea but it isn't far off.

My cabinet is not far away, about less than a minute walk to it from my house. Just round the back of my house.

Will I get 80/20 easy?

Use Google maps to plot a rough distance.

it say 486 ft by walk or 0.2mi by road

0.2mi = 321.87m

486 feet =
148.1328 meters

Locky · 20 Sep 2013 at 13:16

Even if the line is max of 350 meters should see a good return from FTTC depending on quality of the d-side.

Loque · 23 Sep 2013 at 21:22

I applied the unlocked firmware to my modem, but I haven't seen any changes to upload speed. Seems to top out at 16mbps

edit: Wait, I didn't realise I had to manually disable QoS. I thought it was disabled by default when you applied the unlocked firmware. 17.2mbps upload now.

bulldog147 · 23 Sep 2013 at 23:57

Interesting of this. I will bear that in my mind when my FTTC come and will unlocked modem and disabled QoS

Dis capacitance or a TDR would give a good estimate neither of which are much use to you.

Walking or even measuring distances above ground is never accurate as you've no idea where the ducts go.

Unless you're getting much lower results than expected I wouldn't worry too much.

They've pushed out a new firmware update.

Telnet is still accessible.

yeah I have seen that and from reports it's worse than the original, I disabled BT agent so shouldn't get the firmware.

nice

Did you force the update or was it via BT agent?

Also I've read that cabs them selves are getting firmware updates too?

tbh I'm so close to the cab it would just increase my attainable rate, so no real drama.

Has anyone tried the new MK2 VDSL face plates yet?

They are new spec for 17a and 30a and have RIEN and RF filters in them.

They are on ebay right now and BT installers are using them.

From what I gather they have made improvements to peoples connections some say they gained another 2meg.

Had one come yesterday, ive not gained anything , as i had the home hub 5 come at the same time.

Id need to put my old vdsl modem in and look at the error count to compare.

Id say most people are getting more as they will have re-synced.
