Gradpack RM130...

dc n rec again

Yeah this is what i did :-)

I have a question. Can I upgrade the package even though I'm still within the contract period?

yup u can upgrade without being charge

now using 218.111


ping to china even lower than SIN
lol

hi guys, wanna ask
earlier tm technician came to my house, btw i applied 4mb unipack
then he said he wanna test first if my house can support 4mb
after a few testing he said my house cannot pass for 4mb even 2mb as well
so, i wanna ask, is my Line Attenuation ok?

What is your distance from your house to exchange?

4km

Line Attenuation and SNR margin is marginal. I'm currently on 4Mbps having attenuation of 38dB but my SNR is 20dB I pay the price though as I only manage to achieve max speed of 3.5Mbps due to my line...
The more pressing issue is the SNR margin though. You're currently capped at 2Mbps and its 11.6dB. To have a stable connection without much disconnection, the minimum SNR margin you should have would be at least 16dB. If your line is further capped at 4Mbps, your SNR will drop around 5dB which leaves you a small margin of 6dB for 4Mbps. Having a SNR at 6dB will experience frequent disconnections and would not achieve maximum speed.

Not recommended to upgrade to 4Mbps. But if you're keen to do so, replacing the copper cables in your house might help. Or, you can try plugging it into another telephone socket, if you have more than 1 socket. I've experienced a different line attenuation at different socket in my house. Hope it helps

4km btw is too far for 4Mbps if i'm not mistaken

SNR must >16 la

for 2mbps and 4mbps the distance from exchange to your house is 3km and below. Over 3km cannot support. My area is 3.52km from bangsar exchange. So sad

how u know the distance of exchange? how you calculate? o.O

to those guys who use 4m and capped at a higher speed (such as 5m)...
how much max speed can u guys get??

max 500kbps?? or more??

To all sifu,

i've been using 4mb line for few months ago. At first i have no problem even my house is over 4km, only problem is my snr is below 10. Im still satisfy compare to 2mb line that i used before.
i can get 350 - 400 kbps download but now i recently im having issue with auto connect with my Belkin N+ router. When i connect to my billion modem without a router its seem to be fine.So many times i get disconnect then i couldnt reconnect back with my router.So i decided sent it for warranty . After that i received new belkin router,i configured it back then for 2 days it happened again.
Until i week i get this problem mostly i spent around 1 hours to keep reconnect back my connection. I gave up with belkin, last 2 weeks i bought new router LinkSys WRT610N. i used it bout 3 days then im having the same problem again. I felt WTTTTFFFFFFFFFFF......AARRrrrrrGGGgghHHhhh what is goin with me???????? why i can connect direct with modem but cant connect with router.i had to keep pressing RECONNECT button for an hour to get it tru.Sometime if i was lucky 10 mins i can get it back again. I thought my modem got problem so i bought new modem, it still happen again.
I am sick when i see reconnect button and i am sick to switch cable between my modem n router. My worst nitemare if i see triangle icon at taskbar below. Not agaaaaaaaain...even i wanna write this also happen.

last time capped @ 4mbps cant even reach more than 420kbps & keeps stable
after capped @ 5mbps i can reach around 550 to 580kbps & around 450kbps stable..

lol u bought Linksys WRT610N right
i have to i bought new router linksys WRT610N still no problem almost stable
i using ADSL Modem is Linksys AM300 my router autoconnect no problem
i using 1mbps i got 1.5mbps hehe
nice router linksys WRT610N is best
my router Linksys WRT610N version 2 lates

The official guideline is the loop must be <3km and your downstream attenuation must be below 40dB to qualify.

Anyway I'm guessing TM gives less priority to Unipack subscribers because they pay LESS and if your area has high Business/Regular/Old packages subscribers, most likely they'll decline your application because you are paying LESS monthyl which means LESS revenue for them.

Also since you'll be getting less priority, they'll also put your account on slower IP ranges.

Fair right?
Pay less = Get Less

No problem with your line attenuation, but SNR margin too low.

Hi anyone,

After successfully upgraded to 4Mb package, although my download speed through Megaupload speedtest.net can reach 4xx kb/s speed, but my SNR margin dropped to 17 and sometimes 18. Why?

Is there anything I can do to solve the problem?
