Re: SpeedTouch 516 Tweaking :) Hi,
This reboot thing is a gift from control-freaks of
the SpeedTouch team in Brussels... It's their way
to demonstrate how highly they think of 'DMT', but
you can thank the european ISPs because it's those
morons who made such weird deseases even possible:
Without their insistance, Thomson might have shown
more friendliness for the few technically oriented
customers who may choose to purchase a SpeedTouch.

| Hi,
I agree...
I use Alcatel SpeedTouch since 2001 with the first USB venerable "Green fish".. Then got a ST-510 and be happy for years. I switch to a ST 536 v5 for a while and bought (on Ebay) my ST-546 v6 just 3 days ago.
My line is 4,2 Km and 53 Db attenuation. Of course I can't reach the 8000 Kbps down and 1024 Kbps. DMT helped me to get the maximum (around 3800 /860) depending of the inter-modulation from others lines. Too many Adsl customers around me (more than 45.000 for one DSLAM)
Thanks for nice job.  |

| Hi,
I tried to find some ANSI T1.413 variations, any luck with that?

| Within my ST-536 I have tried to play with default tones (12) to 10 or different values. This just affect the Upload margin SNR by moving down the speed from 992 to 776 kbps...
I did not find how to get more download speed with a such long line with 1 km aerial wire copper with at least 20 Connection boxes on the way....!!!  (Clean at home). |

| Hi Old Computer,
I was hoping there could be a way to use some very
old v4.2.x FirmWares on a v6 SpeedTouch but that's
not likely to happen, i also believed that there's
a symetric CLI command for "maxbitspertoneUS" like
"maxbitspertoneDS" but it must have been in awaken
dreams only... Then, what about "extendedBWmode"?
Isn't there any real tweaking which can be done???
 |
|
| I have to check your suggestion about "maxbitspertoneDS". The CLI is not very easy to read for me - My English is too bad - and there is no French translation for latest version.
About "extendedBWmode"... I have to learn about...
My need (and for others) is to force remote DSLAM to send 1,5 Db more for download in order to increase SNR then Speed sync. I stick with 18 Decibels and DMT when using registers 0E or / and 0D does nothing. |

| Euh...
SRA was supposed to be hidden somewhere inside one
of the MoDemOptions (Register 8, Bit 1), it seems:

| Sorry for late response ...
Sra is supported by all French DSLAM. So it is not a problem with the ST546. (sra is NOT disabled).
In fact, I would force the dslam to send more power to gain a little speed (SNR). With 19.5 db (down) the speedtouch synchronize at 4,228 kbps at home. Actually I got 3616 Kbps and 18 Db. (Seen during long holidays when most people are swimming somewhere...) |

| Hi,
I wish i could experiment with ADSL2+ but Spectrum
Shaping under plain old ADSL will just have to do:

Edmonton, AB | I just wanted to say thanks for posting this information. I got my SpeedTouch 516v6 and was able to get DMT up and going within an hour.
I'm a Telus user, so you can add me to the list of "Telus Experiments". :P
