Understanding SNR and Attenuation Rates

[Gekco]

So my line at 384Kb/s should be suitable for 4Mb/s then?
(I requested 4Mb/s but the order managed to get messed up - waiting for an upgrade to be performed..)

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 384 kbps 128 kbps
Line Attenuation 3 db 1 db
Noise Margin 31 db 25 db

Agreed that this thread should be a sticky.

WOW u certain Line Attenuation 3 db / 1 db thats crazy low could indicate a false reading hope not

That's what my router reports via Statistics from the admin page.
NetGear DG834 V2. with the latest firmware update V3.01.38.

yeah bit that is going to drop when you sync at 4MB?

Yes it expect that it will.
But considering how good the figures are at 384Kb/s I'm hoping it will be suitable for 4Mb/s

Good point

[Mineer]

Holding thumbs for you bro will do some research to find out what could cause such brilliant figures would like you to post figures once the upgrade

... ps I would appreciate you could do a before and after to see info more clearly

best of luck

Thanks Mineer.
Will post the figures here as soon as the line is upgraded.

Starting to make some headway here...
After speaking to some supervisors re. Upgrade to 4Mb/s they upgraded the line to 1Mb/s.
They are going to phone me back re. Upgrade to 4 Mb/s (Some confusion seems to exist between Orders/Accounts and Support/Line Services.)

This is what I have now:

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 1024 kbps 512 kbps
Line Attenuation 2 db 1 db
Noise Margin 31 db 13 db

Will post the 4Mb/s links as soon as I have them.

[Gekco]

Wow. Just got the 4Mb/s line activated:

This is what I have now:

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 4096 kbps 512 kbps
Line Attenuation 3 db 1 db

/bump

Request for sticky!

[Mineer]

thanks for the bump
lol'ed realizing this would also be a bump
