| 517001 | 2007-01-17 23:19:00 | My Dlink502T ADSL Router shows the following status info: DownStream Upstream SNR Margin 13 27 Line Attenuation 33 21 Data Rate 7616 160 Just phoned Xtra to complain about my Go Large speed issue and the helpdesk tech argued that my downstream data rate of 7616 is very good and that I have reached my max speed. What are the above numbers representing? Can someone explain to me, please? |

| 517002 | 2007-01-17 23:38:00 | Did it come with a manual? Or can u download the manual? I would check the Dlink site for one. |

Go to www.jetstreamgames.co.nz to test the speed between you & Xtra. Even the speed between you & xtra will be higher than speeds to other NZ hosted sites & much higher than your international bandwidth. |

| 517004 | 2007-01-18 00:32:00 | Info from a previous post, ADSL terms explained Noise Margin (AKA Signal to Noise Margin or Signal to Noise Ratio) Relative strength of the DSL signal to Noise ratio. The higher the number the better for this measurement. In some instances interleaving can help raise the noise margin to an acceptable level. 6dB or below is bad and will experience no synch or intermittent synch problems 7dB-10dB is fair but does not leave much room for variances in conditions 11dB-20dB is good with little or no synch problems* (but see note below) 20dB-28dB is excellent 29dB or above is outstanding * Note that there may be short term bursts of noise that may drop the margin, but due to the sampling time of the management utility in your modem, will not show up in the figures. Line Attenuation Measure of how much the signal has degraded between the DSLAM and the modem. This is largely a function of the distance from the exchange. The lower the dB the better for this measurement. 20dB and below is outstanding 20dB-30dB is excellent 30dB-40dB is very good 40dB-50dB is good 50dB-60dB is poor and may experience connectivity issues 60dB or above is bad and will experience connectivity issues DSL Rate ***/tx/rx/Rate The actual service data rate that your ISP has provisioned. Attainable Line Rate This is the maximum rate at which your modem can connect to the DSLAM if there was no service provisioning limiting the bandwidth. The higher the number the better. Occupancy Occupancy is the percentage of line capacity used. Each DSL line is capable of a certain maximum speed or "capacity" dependant on line distance and other varying factors. The occupancy is an expression of your current sync rate setting over your maximum capacity. There are occupancy rates for both upload and download. The lower the figure, the better. Because of error correction and other factors in the DSL protocols, a margin is required so that a connection can be maintained under varying line conditions. If the occupancy approaches 100%, any interference can cause the ADSL sync to be lost. A useful measurement to monitor when sync problems occur. |

| 517005 | 2007-01-18 00:41:00 | 7616 kb/s is the fastest line rate obtainable . This translates to about 4Mb/s of TCP traffic . If you are getting less than this, you should try TCPoptimizer from Speedguide . net |

| 517006 | 2007-01-18 00:53:00 | It just shows how pathetically ignorant the front line help desk people are, at Telecom, who must be chosen for their thick as two short planks denseness :) They must know by now, from all the complaining since October, that router connection speed has nothing to do with the traffic management they have with Go Large that slowed everything down. |

| 517007 | 2007-01-18 00:56:00 | Its not whether they know, but whether they have to care and being Telecom the answer would be NO. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 517008 | 2007-01-18 01:50:00 | Its not whether they know, but whether they have to care and being Telecom the answer would be NO. Exactly ! |

| 517010 | 2007-01-18 09:19:00 | Is it just me or did all of you miss the GO LARGE part? Aaah no - but bk T only quoted his line rate (7616kb/s) This is as good as anyone will ever get. As for his download speed, he didn't say. I have just got 1.9Mb/s from the jetstream games site and can get 3.6Mb/s in the mornings. (and I do use p2p, but not much) |
