UK Online have been trialling fastpath for the first 100 ADSL2+ users to request it. I managed to get on the trial, and the tier 3 / Customer Solutions netadmin who is running the trial, Dan, has been a god-send. It's great to finally talk to someone who understands what you're saying (techie stuff), AND is willing to experiment with you.
He's put me on fastpath with noise margins of 0 and 3 (minimum 0dB, target 3dB) and my SYNC has much improved. My errors are still minimal (I have a great line) and I'm having no trouble with disconnects/resyncs or packet loss. All's working fine and my throughput is a stable 2.3 MB/sec.
DSL Status: UP DSL Modulation Mode: Auto DSL Path Mode: FAST Downstream Rate: 21204 Kbps Upstream Rate: 1023 Kbps Downstream Margin: 3 db Upstream Margin: 9 db Downstream Line Attenuation: 22 Upstream Line Attenuation: 12 Downstream Transmit Power: 21 Upstream Transmit Power: 12 LOS Errors: 0
Speedtest:
Hopefully they'll offer Annex M soon. If they do I've no reason to migrate to Be Pro any more. Either way, I just wanted to show off the new stats and congratulate UK Online for listening to their customers. They had a shaky few months until recently, but things are definitely back on the up
