VDSL upload speed (higher than expected?)

[Strange]

Has Telkom/Openserve recently bumped up the upload speed on VDSL? I am syncing at 20/5 on a new MSAN that was activated about a week ago.

Strange indeed.That would be a very welcomed move from them if true I might finally change my ADSL profile to VDSL.

So my Broadcom based Zyxel syncs at 4Mbps up and my Mediatek based Trendnet at 5Mbps up.

Prove it.

By pasting text I could just make up? Anyways earlier today I asked CrystalWeb to check some things on my line. From that support chat:

(11:26:38 AM) Support Warrior: currentUploadSpeedKb: 5112
(11:26:51 AM) Support Warrior: currentDownloadSpeedKb: 20476

(I saw the same on the modem web interface)

You can post a screenshot and speed test.

Also I realised I might have sounded hostile, that's not the case, I just want to see it.

Taking and cropping a screenshot on Windows is painful, so here is a copy paste from Trendnet modem:

Downstream Upstream
SNR Margin (0.1dB): 30.9 6.2
Attenuation (0.1dB): 10.2 2.4
Output Power (dBm): 12.7 -9.8
Attainable Rate (Kbps): 114504 5672
Rate (Kbps): 20479 5112
D (interleave depth): 2733 64
Delay (msec): 0 0
Data Counter: 0 Clear 0 Clear

Snipping tool is constantly open on my PC. Would be nice if they could integrate it tighter though like Mac OS does screenshots.

Greenshot.

Or the built-in Snipping Tool.

I use it so often I pinned it to my taskbar.

Thank you, once more, Super Grandmaster ponder. Snipping Tool works like a charm.

Eh, sure, but text will have to do for now. I will post some stats from the Broadcom based modem over the weekend.

Getting back on topic, any other VDSL users seeing anything similar?

 

[boerinbeton]

Strange indeed.That would be a very welcomed move from them if true I might finally change my ADSL profile to VDSL.

You should seriously consider doing that. Much more stable connections and higher rates.

I now get 10mb upload on my 40mb line. International download is still dog**** slow. (International upload full speed)

 

[Strange]

Interesting. Can you post your line stats? Will be interesting to see what attenuation/SNR looks like on the upstream side.

 

[calypso]

Will do so later but there are some details in this thread.

So I upgraded to 40 Mbps:

SNR Margin (0.1dB): 23.0 6.4
Attenuation (0.1dB): 10.2 2.4
Output Power (dBm): 13.5 -12.5
Attainable Rate (Kbps): 134276 9390
Rate (Kbps): 40959 8964
D (interleave depth): 1554 81
Delay (msec): 0 0
Data Counter: 0 Clear 0 Clear

The new upload speeds are quite nice.

And your international speeds are fine?
