527816 2007-02-26 19:35:00 Funny enough, after another call to Xtra, I noticed the downstream value increase to 3m for the evening? SolMiester (139)
527817 2007-02-26 19:57:00 You've already said that the downstream rate varies between 2.4 and 2.9 so I doubt that Xtra had to do anything (even if they could) for you to get 3.
How far from you are these clients of yours that get full rate?

527818 2007-02-26 20:45:00 Do you have in-line filters or a splitter ?? decibel (11645)
527819 2007-02-26 20:56:00 Filters or splitters are in series with the telephone part of the connection. The modem is directly connected to the line. The 50dB of attenuation is most likely distance related unless neighbouring houses get lower figures. As Terry has said under ideal conditions some modems have better line rates at 50dB but some do give similar results to SolMeister's PaulD (232)

True, but faulty filters can still shunt the signal at the modem's frequency.
(or allow the phone to do it.)
