<description><![CDATA[Time for some Researching and Playing (trial and error)

Download
http://www.2cent.de/dmt/st7/dmt.zip

If you downloaded the new firmware this wont work.

open it up.
Very nice piece of software, better than Alcatool.

1)
if you want to monitor your line stability, click on GainQ2 and click Start on SNR-Minitor Interval. After a while you will see a white line going threw the graph. I Dont really know how much it should go up and down but the less the better i guess.

2)
Go to special Misc option and enable the hidden 4 and 5th tabs.
I've noticed if i change the Target Noise Margin and hit apply / resync
it wont work.
If you click Option 2 and then change the Target Noise Margin it allows you to apply/resync and it changes. 

Guys that don't get the full 5megabit or attainable is close to 100% can you play with it and post your results?

I am getting around 70% and when I set it to minimum I get 98% 5056 sync. So going up should allow you to increase sync but it will be less stable.

3)
I am not sure what Channel Characteristic. But it shows you an estimated loop length which is pretty cool.
Post your results :)]]></description>

<title>Acanac Problems</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20433330</link>
<description><![CDATA[I wonder if you guys can help me instead of calling over the phone.
1) we decided to switch to acanac from bell. Payment is instant. 
2) After 2 weeks, we received the package and called in to activate the service.
3) We cancelled bell internet once we received the package.
4) Acanac cant activate the service since they are getting digital noise. Explained we cancelled it and called bell to double check. Bell said the noise will end in a few days. 
5) 5 days later, we called to check the acanac service again. This time they said the noise is from the bell tv box. We cancelled this one too. And ordered the dry loop at $8/month extra. Another week goes by..
6) 2 weeks later, we called Acanac again to check if there's any problem. This time, its on the bell phone line. 
At this point, its reasonable to get a bit mad...no?  Once 
7)  Acanac said we will get the service on May 1st. 
8) May 1st comes, we called Acanac again. This time, the excuse is they 'forgot' to activate the line. Wait till May 7th. Funny thing is that we actually asked "If we didnt call today, no one would let us know right?" 
CS Rep replies "yea, pretty much...".  WTF!!!!

If you do the math, we don't have TV and internet for over 2 months. And now we are still waiting...i am not sure why.
Acanac, can you do something and work a bit harder? If you dont like the trouble, tell us, we'll go somewhere else...
We'll call again this afternoon...]]></description>

<title>Hollywood greed and throttling linked to Bell and Rogers</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20423628</link>
<description><![CDATA[Ever wonder why torrent and movies go good together ?

Well picture this ....

I've owned a Beta tape library of 1300 movies (bought and paid for). When that format went out, I sold them for a fraction of the price and went with VHS. I had about 900 VHS movies when that format went out to be replaced by DVD format.

Being a movie buff, I went out and bought about 900 DVD movies at Walmart and sometimes at Rogers video store (previously viewed). I also on ocassion go to the movie house to watch the new ones coming out.

I've spent a fortune of my money keeping Tom Cruise in his mansion.

I'm slow ... but eventually I started asking myself.. why do you keep paying for the same movies over and over again ?

How many times are you going to buy that same movie ?

Well now ..they came up with bluray and HDDVD .. 

It's a shame for me to throw out my 900 DVD's.. and do what .. ?  Yup pay for those same movies all over again.

Well enough is enough.. I'm keeping my DVD's and you know what ?  I'm going to suck those highdef movies down the net like one humongous vacuum cleaner .. sucking the profit from Tom Cruise (who already has so much money, he's lining his wife's closet with gold).

At the same time, I will be sucking the profit from Bell and Rogers who have been piggy-backing on Hollywood to leech money from people in a perpetual fashion.

Don't doubt it.. they already have that next generation of entertainment media already developed, they just want to suck the crap out of everyone with bluray first.. then force the consumer to upgrade to that next gimmick with the same movie on it.

It was already filmed in hi-def the first time.. but why make $25 on a movie.. when you can make 10 times that over time by switching media ?

It is indeed a very cunning thing the entertainment industry has done... they are milking the consumer for all they can squeeze out of them.

I feel like an udder idiot ... (no pun intended)  :)

Oh well there you have it..  this is why downloading movies is legal in Canada... and this is also why Bell and Rogers are doing everything in their power to throttle those downloads.

It is called GREED !

<title>Looking for ISP with ADSL2+</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20487538</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi Guys,

Right now i'm signed with Velcom and for me they are one of the best ISP out there, almost 2 year with then and no complain, but i'm needing more speed and they can't provide me that, i'm looking for 12Mbps to 24Mbps speed, (right now have 6Mbps with Velcom), also i'm looking for an ISP that can provide several Static IP addresses (8 IP Block) and allow me to have Servers facing internet, maybe i'm asking to much but anyone knows an ISP with this offers?, i'm in downtown Toronto, right now i'm paying aroung $75 for 6Mbps because my home phone is a Bussines line so pay up to $100/month for ADSL2+ is not a problem. 

I appreciate any help in this.

Thanks in advance.  ;) ;)]]></description>

<title>DSL Installation</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20498003</link>
<description><![CDATA[I've never had a home broadband connection in my life thanks to the fact that I live in the middle of nowhere but when I move in a few years, I'll probably be moving into an apartment or somewhere non-permanent and I might have to move frequently so I really want to avoid having to have my equipment professionally installed wherever possible.

This is going to sound really stupid, but if I get DSL, it plugs into the phone line, right? So do I just buy the modem and the plan from Aliant or whoever and bring home the modem, plug it in and automatically have internet access or is it more complicated than that? Will I need to have the phone line to the house/apartment upgraded? (Well obviously I can't do that without the landlord's permission anyway). 

I also read about Aliant TV... IPTV. Can that be set up yourself the same way without having to go through a more lengthly installation process or am I wishing for too much?]]></description>

<title>The real plan for the DPI Boxes</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20485968</link>
<description><![CDATA[I wondered how the investment in these things could really make sense, they are obviously not needed for selling tiered access, well now we know.

First they get them accepted into internet access system country-wide for throttling P2P and get it rubber stamped by the CRTC.

The next stage is where the real money is:
http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008/5/charter_chtr_to_customers_we_re_watching_you_and_cashing_in

All you can see, they can see too.
And they've go some targeted advertising for you.

Feeling sick, visit a med site.
They've got some pill ads to get you feeling all right.

Visit a porn site, I know you all do.
Now they've got some sexy girl ads awaiting for you.
