WTF mon, my snr margin drops over time.

I thought it's suppose to be constant with acceptable +/- drops and increase?

It was 27DB when I turn my router on, after 4 hours, it drops "gradually" to 12DB and still dropping, DB by DB.

any clue as to why this happen?

Your SNR looks ok, do you have frequent disconnection? If not than It's ok, since you are running on ADSL2 1m package.

SNR figure for 1m ADSL2 package are typically "low", becoz our copper network suck, yet they want to make money, so they offer it for you to apply. The higher the speed is, the lower the SNR will be, as a rule of thumb.

about your speed, I believe it's miscapped, but judging from your low SNR, I believe if they give you 1Mb, it will drop below 10db for uSNR (upload SNR) and below 18DB for dSNR.

Maybe that's why they cap you back to 512kb, so it's more stable with a higher SNR figure. If they downgrade you to 512kb so your line can run stable, you should not be paying RM77, call them up and have them correct it.

either have them fix your line to 1M (could make your line crappy) OR

stick with 512k but pay RM66 only.

Either way,there is a mistake on their part, call them up.

go to windows, start > run ... type CMD and press enter. Once you are in the DOS screen (black pop up screen), type Ipconfig and see what your DEFAULT GATEWAY is. It's usually 192.168.1.1 for most modem/router. Some modem/router uses 10.0.0.2

Type 192.168.1.1 (or whatever your default gateway is) into your internet explorer. You may need to enter a username and password to get into the web interface for your router.

it's usually in your router user manual, or you could ask tmnet for it.

you have to tinker around with the different links and tabs once you are in but what you should be looking for is the ADSL statistic page. YOu should be able to see your speed and attenuation and SNR there.

here's something you folks could try.

pick up your phone and leave it on, see if your connection is stable.

wait for 10 mins. If it's stable, try putting back the phone. Wait for another hour or so. If the SNR margin drops and disconnect.

YOU HAVE A CABLE DAMAGE. It's either the cable outside your house, or the cable inside your house.

however...........this is what's going to make you kill yourself:

TELEKOM WILL NOT CHANGE THE CABLE OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSE if your phone works. Even if you know for a fact that it's cable problem.

as for the wiring inside your house, you can call a contractor or DIY, but it'll cost money.

hint: some telekom contractor can pull the wire from the pole to your house as well, some, not many. Or you could cut your own cable and have telekom come and fix it. wahahhahah.
