Thank you Secondary email address now working

That is extremely good for a line with a 60dB attenuation. My line has 20dB less attenuation, but only manages about 4500kbps to 5000kbps. What happens is that your router will "negotiate" a sync speed to give an SNR which is close to the target of 7dB. The SNR varies throughout the day and night, which probably explains why it was only 5.2dB when you logged it. However, I don't think you will do much better than...

You are still on G.DMT. Plug in the original Sky router and see if that helps otherwise ring Sky and ask them to put you on ADSL2+.

Glad you got a result I use o2 dongle on hols best of the bunch , but no service at home

haven't tried others, works fine apart from opera not liking it and not loading pages at random when IE works fine. strange signal is the same for me as on my mobbie with O2 = good --- 1st ISP - Demon - Dialup 2nd ISP - Pipex 512K, then 1Mb 3rd ISP - PlusNet 2Mb, kicked off after being placed on the bad boy pipe 4th ISP - Zen 2Mb. no probs at all. 5th ISP - Bulldog 4Mb then 8Mb, now 18Mb 6th ISP - O2. 18-20MB, i think,

Dunno, but I'm eliminating 1 possibility! 1999: Freeserve 48K Dial-Up => 2005: Wanadoo 1 Meg BB => 2007: Orange 2 Meg BB => 2008: Orange 8 Meg BB

As i said, i dont know much about adsl stats, but does it mean i have a better line compared to the op or worse? i know my attenuation is very high (and as you say its not just that) but is the noise on my line of "Noise Margin 5.4 db 10.5 db " is that good or bad? do i want either number up/down i know i cant change these numbers but just wondered - if i used another router instead of the sky one, could it make a better...

Thanks! Got it sorted with a phonecall to sky - getting about 15mb down. Upstream 1133767 Downstream 16586295 SNR Margin(Upstream) 8.5 dB SNR Margin(Downstream) 10.05 dB Line Attenuation(Upstream) 9.5 dB Line Attenuation(Downstream) 26.0 dB

I didn't think alternative phone providers had to allow these prefix companies? Adam Sky Max LLU

Attenuation is no factor here at all, my stats are ADSL Type Interleave Status No Defect Downstream Upstream 6144 768 Noise margin 5.6 13.0 Output power 19.7 12.5 Attenuation 56.5 31.5 Look at my attenuation, very high also but still get 6mb.... _________________________________________ Intel 630 CPU, Gigabyte 848p Mobo, 2x512ddr 400, 300GB maxtor SATA.
