Can I be switched to ADSL2 or ADSL2+ and will it help with connection speeds

[TheoB]

Hi,

How can I check if I can be upgraded to ADSL2 or ADSL2+ and will it help with connection speeds.

I am especially suffering from low upload speeds.

I checked my homehub 4 logs and they provide the following information :

18:19:43, 26 Nov.    ( 120.270000) DSL noise margin: 19.20 dB upstream, 9.00 dB downstream
18:19:42, 26 Nov.    ( 119.350000) DSL line rate: 444 Kbps upstream, 6680 Kbps downstream

The BT speedchecker lists a download speed of 6.7 Mb/s. (It doesn't tell me anything about upload speeds)

Speedtest.net shows the following stats:

Download 4.70 Mb/s

Upload 0.27 Mb/s

I have my Homehub 4 connected to my master socket.

Thank you,

Theo

The only stats I can find on my homehub4 are :

18:19:43, 26 Nov.    ( 120.270000) DSL noise margin: 19.20 dB upstream, 9.00 dB downstream
18:19:42, 26 Nov.    ( 119.350000) DSL line rate: 444 Kbps upstream, 6680 Kbps downstream

Does this mean I am already on adsl2+ ??

Thanks, Theo

I think you are already on adsl2  can you look through hub and see if you can find a heading 'Modulation'  if 992.1 then adslmax if not then adsl2

[TheoB]

I tried looking for the Modulation on my homehub4 , but I cannot find it anywhere.

Not sure where to look.

I have read other posts that seem to indicate that homehub doesn't have good stats reporting.

Thanks,

Theo

don't know if this helps From the top Menu

> Troubleshooting
> Helpdesk
> Bandwidth

[TheoB]

Thank you.

This shows the following value :

6. Bandwidth:

444 / 6680

Same values as the logs (i am guessing that 444 is 444Kb Upload and 6680 is 6680 Kb download).

Thanks,

Theo

[imjolly]

not download but connection speed  download speeds will be lower than that

[TheoB]

Any idea if this is as good as it gets for me ?
I am about 1.5 km away from the exchange. And although the exchange offers fiber to the cabinet. Due to my distance from the cabinet BT have always adviced me that opting for fiber would make things worse instead of better.

From the dslchecker results you can see your speed is about the estimate you ca try the test socket to see if that gives s bit more speed especially if you have extension sockets in other rooms
