| 497949 | 2006-11-10 07:59:00 | But my lines aren't lousy. They're good. Therefore they are too good. Supposedly. Thats just their new spin anyway. I do have some old bells I could put on it but why bother, my neighbour has some on hers and her lines are brilliant too. |

| 497950 | 2006-11-10 09:34:00 | What modem have you got? You once said you were getting 4288K as a download line speed. Don't you have all the tests that you did then? Low SNR seems odd for a short line. Telecom used to have some suitable noise test gear bought in the days when Rail were electrifying the North Island main trunk. I doubt that anyone on faults now would have anything special in the way of test gear. |

Neighbours routers reported 4288 but still only managed 600k ish. |

| 497952 | 2006-11-10 22:08:00 | What question? Anyway, my router reports 4288. Haha, it wishes... Maybe wishful thinking abounds |
