ADSL Sync Speeds Query - Specifically 8 Mbps

[h00va]

Hi all

Does anyone know at what is the max speed the "new" 8Mbps ADSL lines should sync at? 512kbps or 1024kbps?

-8Mbps/????kbps

I know the "old" packages were as follows:

- 2Mbps/ 512kbps
- 4Mbps/ 512kbps
-10Mbps/1024kbps

Thanks in advance.

I was limited to 512kbps upstream when my line could only sync at 8Mbps.

My 6Mb connection connects at 1019Kbps upstream, so yours should be similar. . .

 

[RudolphV]

My 8Mb connection syncs at 640Kbps up

Love the conflicting reports above.

If you're syncing at ADSLL2+ you should have 1Mbps upload.

I had my line upgraded to 10Mb, but according to my router I'm connected at:
Bandwidth (Up/Down):960kbps/ 8128kbps

Connection stats.....
Output Power (Up/Down) [dBm]: 12,6 / 18,2
Line Attenuation (Up/Down) [dB]: 11,5 / 17,5
SN Margin (Up/Down) [dB]: 7,0 / 12,8

Should I leave it on 10Mb or consider dropping to 8Mb?
Seeming as I'm connected at 8128kbps (just below the max for 8Mb (8192kbps) should I get Telkom to triple confirm I've been set to 10Mb and not 8Mb?
I dont feel like paying for a 10Mb when 8Mb is the most I can get..
ta.

Can you force your modem to sync with ADSL2+ instead of G.dmt?

it's doesnt look like it.
I have an MWEB FON TG589vn v3 router and it seems they locked down most of settings you can change.
I believe you can flash the router. http://devrandom.za.net/blog/2014/02/16/unlocking-a-tg589vn-v3-vdsl-isp-locked-router/ but I'm not sure I want to do that.
I dont have access to another modem at the moment to test

Ignore me.

I had Telkom perform a port reset and I now get the full 10240 down and 1024 up.
No need to flash my good 'ol MWEB modem just yet then

8Mb Line with Axxess

Don't think you get 1Mb upload on a 8Mb line, only if you have 10Mb line

Syncs higher due to interleave, used to be 640 up when I was still on fastpath

Even with the Flash doesn't seem like it gives an override option..

 

[fragtion]

Even if you override the modulation type on your modem it usually won't make a difference because this is specified for your profile at Telkom's side. Don't waste your time flashing firmwares for this ...

G.dmt, interleave

If you're syncing at ADSLL2+ you should have 1Mbps upload.

Doesn't G.dmt have a theoretical maximum of 1Mbps upload? Why is this only possible on ADSL2+?
