Question about line speed and stability

[leeloud]

Hi new to this could u guys please tell me if this info is any good ???

LOS Errors 0
DS Line Attenuation 38
US Line Attenuation 23
Peak Cell Rate 1207 cells per sec
CRC Rx Fast 0
CRC Tx Fast 0
CRC Rx Interleaved 0
CRC Tx Interleaved 0
Path Mode Fast Path


also on my isp side i have a 4meg uncapped services but on telkom i have a 3meg connection but telkom says on there system im paying for a 4meg line should i drop it to 3meg on telkom side and will it make my downloads more stable . they seem to be jumping from 10kb/s - 280kb/s they are all over the place??

With those kind of statistics you should be able to sync reliably at 4Mbps.

Just try to keep the SNR margins (US & DS) above 10dB.
As soon as the SNR margins start to drop below 10dB, then you can consider dropping the speed to like 3Mbps - but like I said your line attenuation (distance to DSLAM) is good enough to even have a stable 6Mbps connection if there aren't any problems with the line or DSLAM.

So it seems like moving over to news/Usenet servers solved the erratic speeds
