<To repeat my post from v3, in case the closing means no one saw it>

Just need a quick comment, tech came yesterday and installed a 512kbps line although I applied for 4 mbps (usual TM cock-up!).

Anyway, I asked him to check the line. The modem says SNR is 25db and attenuation is 35db. He is saying the SNR is good, but the attenuation is marginal, that I shouldn't go for 4 mbps as the attenuation will go up, and the line will be unstable. So he recommended for me to upgrade to only 2 mbps.

Any comments/advice?

Not recommended to go for 4mbps. You'll get faster speed, sure, but most likely you'll face a lot of disconnection issues. Your attenuation is too high. What is the rest of the statistic (specifically Rate(kbps))?

Hmm I'm getting speeds around 420KB/s max. That's below the requirement rite?

Should I call the contractor or TM to get my port capped to 5mbps? My contractor told me that if ADSL port is capped to 5mbps, then it's 5mbps package (unifi).

Wrong, you will still capped under your username. When the port is capped 5Mbps, you will be able to get full 4Mbps, but not 5Mbps.

Yea, that's what I thought. But the contractor still insist.

So it seems that I should bother TM about this...

You can try to call them to request to cap under 5Mbps. So you may able to reach ~500KB/s
Ahh, too bad. They don't want to cap the port to 5mbps. I guess 400+ KB/s speed should suffice.. According to their policy, it's 80%, so it's 3.2 mbps.

It's already 4mbps activated. So, you should try different place to do speedtest.

If you upgraded to 4mbps, then you'll have to wait a while for your account to be updated.

Yes, then you need to wait for a while for your account to be upgraded to 4mbps.
