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
