Hi

Are there any folks here from Bryanston area, mainly along bryanston drive?
if so, how are your guys ADSL?

I personally cant sync at 4mb, else the line drops every hour or so.

thanks

I'm on bryanston drive, syncing at 4mb consistently with no line drops... I'm between north road and river road on bryanston drive...

Intersection of Bryanston drive and Curzon Rd. Line is near perfect but was horrendous until 2012
Here are my stats on 011 706 XXXX

Give us your line stats so we can take a look, and also an APPROXIMATE address just so we can understand your area a bit better

Hi Guys

Here are my stats below

There's your problem, your attenuation is just too high and your signal to noise ratio just too low to have a stable 4096mbps line, short of Telkom moving you over to a closer DSLAM / MSAN there is nothing that can really be done to fix this as attenuation correlates with the length of the copper line between your house and the telkom equipment, and SNR is also related to this but has an additional issue of the quality of the copper. I found that as soon as the SNR reaches 12db your line becomes unstable, at 6db it will cut out all together

The Higher the speed, the lower the SNR and vice versa. That is why your line was dropping all the time. Its currently at 3072kbps because your router is trying to find a stable rate to sync at and it found it as 3072kbps. You'll see when the thunderstorms start that your line is going to be constantly dropping as the SNR fluctuates
