Getting half what we used to, cant figure out why.

another line would not necessarily put you on a different cabinet

On an slightly different track, Ive always been led to believe the chances of being moved to different cabinets is like Zero, is this the case or is it more a case of there would be large charges if new wiring had to be run.  To be honest depending on just how much it might be i would consider paying, but its hard to get any information.

Hi Gary,

Since you suggest you might be prepared to spend to increase your speed have you considered bonding multiple lines ? 

See here for info :-http://www.increasebroadbandspeed.co.uk/2014/bonding-three-four-ADSL-connections

[Nohoper]

seems to have been stable for a while now so this is what i'm getting, Still not what we used to get here speed wise, But stable, so somethings changed regarding the sync speed/ip profile, But if it would stay like this that would something.

From what i understand for our line loss of circa 62db we should see around the 2Mb synch, which is in fact wat we used to get here, but not anymore.  I cant say if thats due to the current adsl router (Asus DSL N55U) or not but sadly our old Business hub which was awesome died  post lightning strike some time ago.

Time will tell how the line stability goes

Bonding is something i do want to research further, tho from previous engineers comments i dont think there are spare pairs in the cable that runs out here so costs might be high.

Hi John, yeah the cabinet thing is some of the issue i have trying to decide what to do, I understand BT would naturally want the most cost effective connection route and that theres no gaurantees what cab i would be connected to on a new line  nor what the quality of any such connection might be, and given we still seem to be dealing with the attitude that Broadband is a 'Bonus' and not subject to any form of contractual QOS its a tough call to make

You now appear to have a stable connection with a 1.5mb connection speed which is what the checker estimated for your line.  I can't see where you will get anymore speed as noise margin is now normal

[Nohoper]

Hi Imjolly,  

To be honest if it stays like this i'll be pleased. Not happy as obviously Its not stunning. But i am left wondering why now the synch at a stable low SNR and the same line loss as historically, we're not seeing a higher speed, as this was what we used to get .

Ive got a ton of old stats from the bt speed tester and adsl router, that would support my belief there should be more avaliable, i just dont dont know why its not there now, BUT like i said  if this is a stable 1.5 then i'd take that anyday over an unstable 2.

Gary

[imjolly]

As I said I think you now have a stable connection and like you give me stable and slightly lower connection speed over higher speed but unstable conenction

Hi Gang,

Well it was stable, i went away with work last monday and arrived home today to this

Quiet line is well, quiet to say the least, uptime of only 2 days there so something happened but no idea what and now its back to sucks ville and more waiting for SuckSlam to decide its actually stable again until oh yes untill its not stable again.

Edited bit,

Just noticed this on the router

System TimeUptime

27days 9hours 37minutes 13seconds

So i guess that at least rules out  power outages at our end

[imjolly]

Stats show 2 days not 27 days so connection dropped at least once and possibly more

[Nohoper]

Hiya, yeah connection uptime is only 2 and a bit days,

> uptime of only 2 days there so something happened >

the 27 days was from the router status page so that is just router power on time all i meant by that like i said was that it wast power cuts or anything during the crappy weather out here, it was a line issue.

Talked to the neighbour and it rained alot about that time which would fit with the usual scenario that no one wants to fix. If i'd been home then i might have been able to line check at the time but thats a moot point.

Gary

[john46]

you need to try the quiet line test when it is raining if noisy then report it as a voice fault that may get the line replaced
