Your line quality is superb.
About 4Mbps capability, you need to check with your nearest DSLAM. Whichnormal users can't.  laugh.gif
Better go to TMPoint.

The lower the line attnuation, the better it gets.
LOL So from what I see 0 is a very very damn good value.

maybe its due to the new line replaced yesterday.. at 1st i was shocked to see 0 as i tot 0db results in no packets transfer or wutsoever.. lmao rolleyes.gif cnt wait for the tm tech to come and test and approve my upgrade smile.gif

Are you already in 4MB package? or you just about to apply?

i was on 1mb package (1.5mb i guess nowadays ppl are getting) but my port was raised to 4mb.. it has been more than a year already im port capped to 4mb but only getting 1mb speed as my username was only 1mb.. whistling.gif

i applied to upgrade my account to 4mb during the promotion b4 new year.. yesterday the tech came by to check my line.. everything was ok and supported (snr 36-39, att 0-7 after i requested to re-cabling cuz previously failed 2mb test).. so for all this time i was on 4mb port (1mb only on account) but suddenly last nite i noticed it was so slow indeed.. rechecked my modem and i saw that my cap was reduced back to downlstream 1024..

the tech did ask me yesterday how come my line so capped higher and i told that i had severe line prob and didnt meet the 70% best effort so it was raised.. he did even run a couple of test via speedtest.net to really check if im getting only 1mb or 4mb.. lol... he told me that usually 4mb users are capped to 5xxx downstream to meet with the 70% best effort bases in order to reduce complaints. sweat.gif

so hoping that by today account updated and joining ur 4mb club icon_rolleyes.gif

Would replacing the telephone line outside my house yield an appreciable gain in my SNR? We're talking about a 15-year old copper line, and my SNR is currently at about 19.5 dB whilst capped at 4084 kbps. Also, how much would such a procedure cost?
*
previously my snr was only 9-11.. so it cant support the 2mb package with i tried to upgrade a month ago.. i did notice way back that there was a fuzzy sound upon using the tm phone line but i didnt give a damn as im not using it much.. then i realized that there were no dial tone at all.. called tm, they came over confirming the problem, yes.. there was no dial tone.. cable prob but i still get my DSL signal as im able to connect to the internet..

they changed the cables from the TM post at the back of my house in just few minutes.. checked my readings and it boosted snr up to 36-38 (previously 9-11 only).. yesterday the 4mb tech came to test my line and he was quite surprised with the boosted readings.. he said that one of my neighbours oso failed the test yesterday trying to upgrade to 4mb.. surely old cable probs too as mine was ok and we share the same TM pole.. his place was 2 house away from mine..

they changed the cable on mine FOC maybe to technical failures.. maybe if urs is quite ok but u requested for cable changing, it might cost u.. i did ask bout the normal price and he said rm60.. it was billed to the customer.. not payed on site to the contractor..

Guys.. anyone from Seapark or ss2 using 4mbps package?

Last week i went Tmpoint to ask whether i can upgrade to 4mpbs, they say my area got no 4mbps port.. but i really want to upgrade it..

Really very ridiculous, i call 100 they ask me to go TMPOINT to ask for the availability and i cant call TMpoint, but i m working in Shah Alam, for me to go back to my nearest TMPoint gonna take some time.

Hi there, thanks for your reply. That seems like quite a large gain that you've managed to obtain! Might give it a try myself, since it doesn't cost that much.

On a side note guys, I was surprised to discover that SNR and attenuation figures for my line differ from modem to modem (currently miscapped at 2M instead of 4M) :

With ZTE ZXDSL-831 modem - DS SNR: 28.4 dB, US SNR: 28.0 dB, DS attenuation: 5.0 dB, US attenuation: 3.5 dB

With PCI DSL2-01 modem: DS SNR: 32.0 dB, US SNR: 17.1 dB, DS attenuation: 13.0 dB, US attenuation: 2.4 dB

Does this have something to do with the modems? Already tried switching modems for several times to verify the figures above.
*
during my failed 2mb testing.. the tech tried it with his riger modem and got my readings around 9-11.. but i told him i got a higher reading using my own zyxel.. i got around 13-15.. but he didnt upgrade cuz its so risky as when the port increased to 5mb, the snr would significantly drop more..

i do believe different modem gives different reading but minimum snr u obtained was the best thing.. the reading aint so that accurate so being above the minimum was safe indeed.. .. u surely dont want to have a faster speed but filled with disconnection

try to complaint bout the snr readings and say regarding "disconnection".. if they r lazy surely they say line not supported" , but try to ask them for recabling.. say that u have unwanted noise while using ur tm homeline.. i used to have the annoying noise but now cleared + better dsl line


update : its 24hours already since the testing yester, mine was still not updated to new speed cry.gif

looks like most of you guys are capped at 5Mb

it takes a 24-48hours for them to convert my account to 4Mb one, is that correct?

i did a file transfer test just now, the speed remains at 170-180kBps, never more than that sad.gif

same here too.. they came to my house on thursday 5pm but still on 1mb sad.gif .. so long..



btw, anyone can explain what is the meaning of the term streamyx speed "bursting" ?

Not sure about the first and third boxes, but I believe the second one is a remote DSLAM.
does ipdslam and the dslam the same thing? the 3rd mini small box looks funny.. i wonder it actually is..


im quite confused.. exchange, dslam, ipdslam and now remote dslam rclxub.gif

he says that it shall be done after lunch today but still now ive just checked its still not done T_T.

i'd just like to know when the TM installer came to your house to setup the streamyx 4MB line:

1. did he have to go into the house?

2. did he install anything on your pc/routermodem/main line etc?

3. could you basically tell me what he does when he goes to ur hse?

hope you could answer my 3 queries..thanks for your time guys!
*
1. he went into the house and asking where is ur phone line..
2. he uses his own modem + laptop if he is bringing one to test dsl readings
3. usually he will contact u 1st.. but if he fails to, u can contact helpline to get the assigned tech hp number so that u could arrange the appointment with him..

if the readings passed, he will activate it and do some calls with the activation department maybe.. not sure.. then he say to me it will be activated usually within 24hours.. mine activated already according to tm customer service as they told mine was already updated, but my port are still capped at 1024.. maybe the assigned tech was lazy T_T.. or maybe there is some missunderstanding or mistake done somewhere..

so basically he wont need to touch your PC or Modem/Router? alright thanks.

maybe you can try calling them (or go directly to TM Point) and complain..although they say speed based on "best effort", at all times they should deliver at least 80% of your speed (provided there are no technical errors).

p.s. which which area are you from?
*
if there is no prob.. maybe he wont.. usually their own modem n laptop was sufficient unless he didnt bring his own laptop..

after 5x of calling and complaining.. my 4mb was updated.. i asked them to cap it to 5mb but the 2nd lvl tech dept said it will only be given if the user didnt get the best effort level of speed..

lucky me, just checked my modem and it was capped to 5120.. but its true bout the ip range.. the 60.xx goes only about 1.5,2.0mb only where the 118.xx ip goes to 3.4-3.7mbps..

it dosent seem to max out isnt it eventhough capped to 5120..

After some time, they now configured my port to 8Mbps but user account still 4Mb. I got the satisfaction speed now.

mine was capped to 5120.. but now its 4096 only.. getting only 60-70% speed T_T .. how did u managed to raise up to 8mbps? cool




QUOTE(SHOfrE3zE @ Jan 12 2010, 09:43 AM)
hi guys, i wanna ask. can i apply for 4mb/s if my SNR is 300+ & my line attenuation is 38?

the streamyx contractor who came to my house does not support me to apply to since my LA is quite high. the borderline is 40 right?
*
ur attenuation is too high while ur snr was ok... but if u applied for 4mb.. ur snr will surely decrease and ur attenuation will increase.. thats y they didnt approve ur upgrade.. tried requesting for copper wire checking? oxidation perhaps occurred if old line.. a cleanup is free i guess, replacement would be rm60++ depending on the contractor.. i got mine replaced for free cuz my phoneline got no dialtone but dsl signal was still detected..
