Adsl line speed normal?

[MickeyZA]

I'm currently with Telkom with Adsl line of 4mb package, but i'm getting about 1.7mb download - is this normal, based on the specs provided below?

Based on in the forum link to Attenuation test for estimate line speeds - I should get bit higher download speed


Mode: ADSL_2plus
Type: ATM
Status: Up

Downstream Upstream
Line Coding(Trellis): On On
SNR Margin (dB): 163 232
Attenuation (dB): 20 39
Output Power (dBm): -512 -150
Attainable Rate (Kbps): 27916 1355
Rate (Kbps): 2048 511
D (interleaver depth): 1 1
Delay (msec): 0.25 0.24

Looks like a pretty stable 2mb package....

But you say 4mb suppose to be

2048 down and 511 up

If I'm reading that right?

Yes your right thats what im getting but around 1700 down 200 up +-

For me its behaving like 2mb line but wonder if i shouldnt double check with telkom to make sure they put me on the correct package?

 

[Thor]

That would be your best bet

Yup pretty much syncing @ 2Mbps so you are not on a 4Mbps line. Your SNR is slightly low for your attenuation but nowhere near causing any problems.

My 4mb line is also synching at these low speeds and Telkom have for 2 weeks now firstly claimed that no call is logged and after another week of reporting it again done diddly. Just a few months ago I was singing their praise but it seems its back to the standard Telkom service levels I have my line listed as a business line and pay for "priority" service so for residential guys I really feel sorry judging by the service I get.
