838901 2009-12-16 04:12:00 Just got a letter from telecom stating I now have adsl 2+, check router, still normal, rebooted, normal, so flashed firmware and wahey..

However, this site is still slow...lol

disappointed with upload, I'm supposed to have max up under adsl which was about 700kpbs before upgrade...will have to call I guess...

Okay, done some speedtest, but think the browser is caching, so used IE8 for telecom as have to provide 3 nights tests and will clear chace before hand each time but wag200g has this;

838905 2009-12-16 09:52:00 I also use an ADSL2+ line mode, however my distance limits my connect rate below even the maximum for ADSL. Agent_24 (57)
838906 2009-12-16 17:20:00 SolMiester, your connection looks great from what I can tell:
Attenuation Rates:

20dB and below = Outstanding
20dB-30dB = Excellent
30dB-40dB = Very Good
40dB-50dB = Good
50dB-60dB = Poor and may experience connectivity issues
60dB+ = Bad and will experience connectivity issues

For S/N Margin Readings:

6dB or below = Bad and will experience no line sync or intermittent sync / connectivity problems
7dB-10dB = Fair but does not leave much room for variances in conditions
11dB-20dB = Good with little or no sync problems
20dB-28dB = Excellent
29dB or above = Outstanding


I wonder if you're experiencing similar issues to here:

838907 2009-12-16 17:30:00 I wonder what would happen if you were to contact Telecom and speak with them about changing ADSL2+ Profiles?

No alarm on your line? SkyTV?

838908 2009-12-16 21:23:00 ADSL2 is craptastic, at just over 2K from the exchange I only get around 8MB (as in REAL performance not Speedtest).

This is a rough guide to show ADSL2+ performance over distance. In NZ its usually worse and DSL2 really starts dropping off big time after 2KM.

Hi chilli, I have 2 more tests to do, will asl about profiles etc thanks.....the white cabinet is right outside our neighbours house!!!
We have the line spilt anyway so dont have to worry about sky or alarm, not that we have an alarm or the mysky plugged into the phone line...

Interesting about the upload speeds though eh?....the telecom stats had the upload at over 1.5mb?....
