| 1192041 | 2011-04-05 02:42:00 | Hi folks According to the Telecom website, our address is now connected to an ADSL2 capable exchange (so they were on time). I have a NetComm NB6Plus4Wn ADSL2+ modem router. Here is my speedtest result attached. They don't look like ADSL2 results to me - in fact the results are consistent with what I got before. Do TelstraClear (Paradise) need to get into the exchange/cabinets next? I just assumed (bad mistake) that when Telecom/Compass had done their bit, all would be apples. Am I wrong in that assumption? Thanks John |

Highy dodgy. Better yet, change from telstra to someone else. |

Also, login to your router and check and post back what the SNR / Noise Margin / Attenuation details are, so we can tell you if your physical line needs work or not. Top marks on the choice in router though! :D |

I have no experience with Telstraclear but no they do not need to physically access the cabinets, any changes are software. I don't believe Telecom change any settings on other ISP's customer ports when they upgrade a cabinet, simply transfer them over and inform the ISP of the change. |

Is this what you mean Chill? Current DSL line status is displayed as below. Line Mode ADSL2+ Line State Show Time Line Power State L0 Line Up Time 07:09:09:16 Line Coding Trellis On Line Up Count 8 Statistics Downstream Upstream Line Rate 11170 Kbps 956 Kbps Attainable Line Rate 13684 Kbps 952 Kbps Noise Margin 11.9 dB 12.8 dB Line Attenuation 25.5 dB 12.4 dB Output Power 0.0 dBm 12.8 dBm Not sure what the SNR is Chill? Darn, I had this all lined up like in the table, but it all goes to pot when posted. |

| 1192049 | 2011-04-05 04:08:00 | Ah . I have a relative using Telstra . he too is on an ADSL2+ exchnage and he too is getting ADSL 1 speeds . Complain to telstra . Highy dodgy . Better yet, change from telstra to someone else . Thanks pctek, that isn't truly encouraging, is it?! Trouble with shifting is that I have had this email address for many years, and the thought of trying to advise everyone of the change seems too painful to contemplate . I should have got my own address years ago, but I only learned about that too late . |

I just may give TelstraClear a call when I have got a spare couple of hours to sit on the phone waiting for their help line to answer . Actually I have just remembered I can do it by email . That way I will only have to wait for a week or two for a response . . . |
