Your line speed is approximately 830.9 Kbps or 101.8 K bytes/sec

New One
Dlink 502T reports: 160 up/ 8000 down
SNR Margin 15 / 29
Line Attenuation 3 / 0

499875 2006-11-17 04:43:00 Interesting. I get a similar speed jump changing from a nokia M1122 (~2600) to a D-Link 502T (~4800). What do the D-Links have that the others don't, because I _know_ that the nokia can do fullspeed easily. Or rather, what is the difference in default settings?

I'm sticking with the nokia though - I'd rather have reliable internet that doesn't crash.

499876 2006-11-17 04:57:00 It is well knowen that electricity travels faster down super cooled copper wire. So I would expect broadband to be 'extra' fast down in the super cooled south. PK Poppa John (284)
499877 2006-11-17 06:49:00 My firsd b/b modem was a DSE usb adsl modem.

My third mdem was a Billion router Modem. This was literally twice as fast as the DSE one.

Second one was a Belkin. I called it lazy. Only worked when it felt like it.

499879 2006-11-17 19:27:00 Well.......the 502T is ADSL2 capable. And ADSL2+.

My Speedtouch wasn't.

Although our current "full speed" isn't ADSL 2 anyway.....

I thought the SNR difference was interesting though.....
