BT BT Broadband Option 2 Issues

HI your IP Profile should rise to 1500k as to the vist not worth it given time your profile will rise if not then the forum mods could be involved to get your profile reset

Thanks John46, lets see what happens in the next few days. That could be useful. (Am bothered that according to thinkbroadband, people are getting 4-6 mbps 2 streets away)

different attenuation different line lengths different copper thickness and some parts of the network being aluminium cabling less efficient than copper different cable routing simple as that there are too many variables even neighbours can have different attenuation figures there is really nothing you can do to improve it other than the costly one move nearer to the exchange

[JimmyW77]

Thanks again,

I understand the variances - just hard to live with when its you that's being impacted. 

That's a case for another day I think. Constant line speed, Good IP Profile etc. are what i would like to see happen in the coming week to ten days.

Enjoy your evening.

Please see latest test from speedtester.bt.com.  Looks like the profile has gone in the  right direction.

	Download Speed
	1379 Kbps

0 Kbps

2000 Kbps Max Achievable Speed

Download speedachieved during the test was - 1379 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 400-2000 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :1792 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 1500 Kbps

I'll continue to monitor, though i still want to get my SNRM sorted and 63dB is to much. I'll hope that thats comes down soonish.  Thanks for the advice all!

btspeedtester is looking good.  I presume you mean your attenuation at 63db which you are not happy about not SNRM

[JimmyW77]

Hi, thanks for the quick repsonse, yeah, got those muddled for a moment there.

ADSL Link	Downstream	Upstream
Connection Speed	1792 kbps	448 kbps
Line Attenuation	63.0 db	31.5 db
Noise Margin	12.1 db	17.0 db

The downstream NM is coming down .1 dB each day, not sure what to make of that tbh.

[imjolly]

the noise margin will fluctuate during the day being higher in the morning to 4pmish and the it will drop gradually by about 2/3 over the night only for it to rise again the next morning.  the cycle then starts again.

if you maintain a stable connection then your noise margin should drop with possibly a small increase in your speed.  as said before the normal is about 6db

[JimmyW77]

Thanks for the info.

Fingers and toes crossed that this proves to be the case.

[imjolly]

patience as it might take a while
