well i beat my 3 gig cap in like 2-3 hours lolz and upload is 512 i reckon:
prob can do 1-2 gigs in an hour

the upload is 512kbps, upload at about 50KB/s
Hi guys. I've supposedly got a 4Mb line. But its so slow. So i went to speedtest.net and its given me the following results:
Download: 0.56 Mb/s
Upload: 0.11 Mb/s
Ping: 158 ms
Server distance: 250 mi
ISP rating: 2.5/5
Does this make sense to anyone?

while u getting attenuation and noise stats "SNR" geting sync speed also
this helps a lot in finding ur problem

hi
we have the same problems our downloads are not bad but the browsing speed is slow like the pages are hooking
we have 4meg line and are only 2.5 kilometers from the exchainge

need your stats and sync speeds, no one can really help you out with out these

this is my stats on the 4 meg line
Sync speed 4096
Attenuation 40
Noise Margin 14.2
thanks

found this from another post
Noise Margin (AKA Signal to Noise Margin or Signal to Noise Ratio)
Relative strength of the DSL signal to Noise ratio. The higher the number the better for this measurement. In some instances interleaving can help raise the noise margin to an acceptable level.
6dB or below is bad and will experience no synch or intermittent synch problems
7dB-10dB is fair but does not leave much room for variances in conditions
11dB-20dB is good with little or no synch problems* (but see note below)
20dB-28dB is excellent
29dB or above is outstanding
* Note that there may be short term bursts of noise that may drop the margin, but due to the sampling time of the management utility in your modem, will not show up in the figures.
Line Attenuation
Measure of how much the signal has degraded between the DSLAM and the modem. This is largely a function of the distance from the exchange. The lower the dB the better for this measurement.
20dB and below is outstanding
20dB-30dB is excellent
30dB-40dB is very good
40dB-50dB is good
50dB-60dB is poor and may experience connectivity issues
60dB or above is bad and will experience connectivity issues
DSL Rate ***/tx/rx/Rate
The actual service data rate that your ISP has provisioned.
Attainable Line Rate
This is the maximum rate at which your modem can connect to the DSLAM if there was no service provisioning limiting the bandwidth. The higher the number the better.
Occupancy
Occupancy is the percentage of line capacity used. Each DSL line is capable of a certain maximum speed or "capacity" dependant on line distance and other varying factors. The occupancy is an expression of your current sync rate setting over your maximum capacity. There are occupancy rates for both upload and download. The lower the figure, the better. Because of error correction and other factors in the DSL protocols, a margin is required so that a connection can be maintained under varying line conditions. If the occupancy approaches 100%, any interference can cause the ADSL sync to be lost. A useful measurement to monitor when sync problems occur. [AFAIK the billion SNMP utility does not give a direct measurement of occupancy :-( ]

Relative strength of the DSL signal to Noise ratio. The higher the number the better for this measurement. In some instances interleaving can help raise the noise margin to an acceptable level.
