Just moved into a new house and wonder if some kind soul out there could take a look at my DGN2000 stats below please and give me a rough idea as to what sort of speed I can accept, once DLM has finished, on Sky Broadband :

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 4091 kbps 604 kbps
Line Attenuation 27.5 db 15.2 db
Noise Margin 11.5 db 17.4 db

Thank you so much for any help, in advance :)
 
Cheers :)

I think I've started the 10 day DLM period on Sky, so don't want to unplug the modem from the main socket to replug it in the test socket at risk of getting an unfavourable DLM result?

Cheers again!
 
DLM still hasn't kicked in and I'm still on 4MB - any idea when it will?

Ignore; stats now :

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 7002 kbps 796 kbps
Line Attenuation 27.0 db 15.1 db
Noise Margin 11.8 db 16.4 db

Another DLM tier last night has led to :

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 10236 kbps 1072 kbps
Line Attenuation 27.0 db 15.1 db
Noise Margin 7.6 db 8.9 db
 
Another welcome speed bump last night :

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 13307 kbps 1065 kbps
Line Attenuation 27.0 db 15.1 db
Noise Margin 6.1 db 9.1 db

So, bit of a disaster.

The iplate came this morning and I took the chance of unplugging the router etc and fitting the plate. In doing so however, one of the small blue wires appears to have detached itself from my phone socket. This meant that when I reassembled the entire socket there was no dialling tone etc through the port on the front. I presume this is s a result of this detached wire?

So I had to remove the router again, disassemble the plate and plug the router back into the master socket where it works fine.

Now sadly it's resync'd as follows, losing about 4000 kbps :

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 9376 kbps 1088 kbps
Line Attenuation 25.0 db 15.0 db
Noise Margin 6.5 db 8.0 db

Does this mean my DLM is scuppered?

Yeah that is slightly strange. I can't explain why the attenuation would drop.

I'm working away from home this weekend and set my router up for remote access so I could check progress periodically. In the last hour it's gone unreachable so I suspect it may have rebooted and hence changed the IP scuppering my access.

Hope the speed has gone back up!
 
Stats now :

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 16108 kbps 1072 kbps
Line Attenuation 27.0 db 15.1 db
Noise Margin 5.6 db 8.7 db
 
It went up again overnight :

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 17019 kbps 1069 kbps
Line Attenuation 27.0 db 15.1 db
Noise Margin 3.1 db 9.3 db

I think, looking at the noise margin, that that's definitely the most I'll get. Not bad considering Sky told me the max would be 12.2 :)
 
Another, much smaller, bump overnight :

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 17778 kbps 1076 kbps
Line Attenuation 27.0 db 15.1 db
Noise Margin 3.6 db 9.2 db
 
Now down to :

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 16015 kbps 1065 kbps
Line Attenuation 27.0 db 15.1 db
Noise Margin 6.1 db 9.0 db
