Hi guys...

I just get my streamyx after 3 years of waiting. I believe they upgrade the DSLAM to ADSL2 because currently my house located 5.3KM from the DSLAM. I subscribe 512 package RM66 and I choose self-installation.

I'm using Aztech DSL 3100R (4 Port Router + Modem) which I purchase last week. After pluggin the modem and power on, I saw my data rate as follows:

Download Data Rate: 8128kbps
Upload Data Rate: 864kbps

TMNET Speedometer shows my connection are 512 up and down. Is this what we called as miscapped? Please give a comment.

This is the snapshot of my router configuration page and TMNET Speedometer

Yeah.. Its just miscapped... No matter wat ur modem shows u, u will still get a max of 512kbps only..

wow he got max speed of adsl!

wahaha..now tmnet dont even bother to set the speed @ dslam port...

they just set it on the username..

so can u dload more than 512kbps?

My SNR Margin also not quite good... Up and down stream only 15db...but i never face disconnection. Some more got CRC error.

download the max I can go is around 60 - 64kbps.

yea..thats the max a 512kbps connection can go..

512/8 = 64KB/s

the good thing about capping user base on username is..we get the whole speed without the overheads..

yes, cap by username is better and fair to everybody

u can check distance at tmpoint with more accurate result, they have a telnet likely system and sometimes if the line quality is still good, they will give u the services even u are out of distance.

back in old days, alot new streamyx users enjoy full speed adsl within 1st weeks for tmnet to testing their own line quality, and at that days, accounts capping not yet using.

sync value is bad possible due to u are on full speed adsl data rate.

with full speed adsl plus 512k accounts u can get 64kBps, with 512k sync rate plus 512k accounts, max u get is around 4xkBps-5xkBps.

i am sorry for those gov related company staff cause they cant abuse their power like any other gov related company with their uncapping business.

now no more uncapping good for everybody

I believe that my housing area telephone line is not in good condition. The copper cable i think almost 10 years already. Izzit my location more than 5 KM will affect the SNR Margin?

ur line speed so nice le~~~
envy

so, we cannot determine our speed by referring to the console page already lo ??
that speed shown on the console page is only the speed to link pc to DSLAM, not the speed we could get for surfing or dowloading , right ?

wah why suddenly u edit ur post? just now say slow, now envy his speed.

result is consider slow..
but line speed is fast

267kbit down is kinda slow, i think must at least 400+ = normal for 512k. is it u do the speedmeter 3 times and same speed liao?

it's not ADSL2 for sure. ADSL2 requires ADSL2 capable modem and Aztech 3100R is not one them. furthermore, ADSL2 max download rate is 12mbps and 8mbps is just normal ADSL max speed.. but i do agree that their new DSLAM is ADSL2/2+ capable but they are not implementing the new standard yet. now tmnet already upgrade their system and they cap the speed per user a/c and no more on port.. so no matter what's your modem says, your true speed is on which package you subscribe..

my office is 5.4km from the exchange and been using streamyx for the past 2 and a half years.. maybe your place got no free port that's why you have to wait long.

agree with u .... the line speed is fast but the speed he's getting is way to slow

I don't know about that because when I apply that time, the agent said that my area have port and my house just 5.3 KM to the exchange and its not possible for me to get the service. I just found out that they are implementing ADSL2 when I followed my fren to CLICKERS a month ago. That time I tried to ask for my application status and the agent said that my area now their implementing ADSL2 and I can get the service sooner.

I also not sure about implementation of ADSL2 here if it correct or they just add another port for me but anyway I happy that finally I get this service at my house after long waiting.....

I tested few times already...bout the same results..
but if I download something the speed i get is around 45kbps++
some can reach 64kbps

whats your opinion

No opinion, just a result that you are on your correct 512 package Ignore the modem what it states.

apparently ADSL2 uses different modulation and 3100R is not one of the modem that supports ADSL2 modulation.

implementing ADSL2
wondering what speed will we get for ADSL2

For me the most important thing is I can get the service and also the speed that I suppose to get with what I paid...

hmm..how come my dslam was uncapped wit 1mb speed but my acc is 512kb
n i get DL 100kB/s

Not all place are affected yet with the new DSLAM settings from NOC

My modem shows that my line is still capped. Lol... just have to wait...

Oh, my modem's firmware can be flashed to ADSL2. But the firmware is for Russia.

I thought ADSL2 speeds can be in the region of 20mbit+. Isnt that the speed ISP's in France and UK are offering?

ADSL2 max speed is 12mbps is not mistaken
you are talking about ADSL2+ i think

hey, streamyx is just ADSL-lite and you are talking about ADSL2 adi?

lets hope they will just release the full ADSL in not so far future...

borrow 1mbps account from your friend... and you can enjoy full 1mbps line man... congrat...

5.3km from the exchange and u can get full speed of 512kbps?
me is below 1km from the exchange cannot effort dat speed..
my modem's latency is FAST for d/l and u/l..
got only no more than 60kBps..

There's no different between ADSL Lite and ADSL. ADSL Lite = Low bit rate ADSL. TM is testing ADSL2 but its not affordable for home user.

How do you know that it's not affordable for home users?

if use others acc, then can the owner still online at the same time?

1 login per account.

how do u know its not affordable?

I am afraid you are not getting the speed you paid for.

Acceptable speed for a 512kbps package must at least be about 70% i.e around 360kbps and above.

From your test, you are only getting half of what you paid for i.e 267kbps (DS)

5km limit for adsl 1 is the maximum distance for you to get full adsl 1 speed,somewhere between 8 to 12m download,but if you apply for a lower package,something like 384 or 512kD package,adsl 1 can maybe afford distance up to 7km,but because the result is so much not able to guaranted,most isp will avoid offer it to this distance custumer,so the isp not being suied by offer lie speed.

it happens during a few years back, where multiple logins could be achieved by a single account.. but now tmnuts has fixed this 'bug' that could let ppl use it without paying

Some time i can get 350 kbps ++ sometime lower than that...hard to say actually coz i suspect my phone line a little bit old... anyway even i get around 267kbps but when i download such as using bitcomet, my total download are around 50 - 62 kbps.

Cheers....

Can anyone let me know how my DSL perform??

your BT is getting around the max speed of your package

they might have installed remote terminal near ur place. check for a big box with R0XX

I also thinking like that because i saw few month back TM adding few new boxes that look like exchange box near my house. May be that is the remote terminal.

If got time i go check if stated "R0XX" or not

Yep , thats Remote DSLAM. i.e , SET R006 , RTDSLAM....Well , I want to take pictures of it and show it ..But I can't seem to upload it , i will do that later

Hey guys, I found a DSLAM near my house. It's just a couple of footsteps(perhaps 100m) from my house. Lolz... Since my streamyx is still capped at DSLAM, I feel like opening it and uncap my connection.

i dun seem to see anything like that near my house

Why? What are you planning to do if you see one near your house?

just go and see it la never actually see 1 b4 ma

I found out that the Remote DSLAM they put quite near to the road...
hopefully no car will go bang it lor or else...

I make complaint to the streamyx regarding my SNR Margin quite low few days ago but it seems the same. I think later today i gonna make call again to the TM Net CIC. Hopefully they can rectify this problem lor.

You know what, my area's DSLAM(not sure if it is remote) is located very near(1 ft) at the roadside which have 90 degree corner. One drunk fella can just bang straight into it.

Why they put such expensive thing to the place that easy to be bang by car?

last few months before they put the DSLAM got 1 car hit my house Exchange....Few days no telephone. Than after they repair they put together the DSLAM/RDSLAM there. May be that the way how they expand the streamyx coverage...hahaha

For low SNR margin, you shouldn't call TMNet. You should call TM (100) to check/change the telephone line.

OIC, that case i will call TM then, thanks for the info dude.
