Re: [connectivity] Confused about slow line speeds
You're not the only one dealing with slow evening speeds. I live just outside of Baltimore and the past few months have been problem after problem figuring it was something going on with my connection to the point where they lied to me and told me "We can't handle the fastest tier internet in your area anymore, therefore, we will have to drop your speed back to 768K." Never did happen and after all this while for the past few months, its been growing more and more of a localized upgrade all up and down the East Coast of Verizon services rather than can't handle the workload as they first made assumptions of. Tonight, I think a bug bit the switch at my local Verizon CO like a spider-man like bug where I'm getting upload speeds 3 times my normal speed. This could mean for you on a possible 7.1Mbps DSL or FIOS push in your area in the not too distant future.
Transceiver Information Down Stream Path Up Stream Path
DSL Speed (Kbits/Sec) 3360 768
Margin (dB) 14.0 10.0
Line Attenuation (dB) 46.5 31.5
Transmit Power (dBm) 16.4 11.9
As you can see my DSL speed for upload is 768 but in another post, I posted my upload speed close to 1.9Mbps and its not cached and the weird part is that my loop length is 9200ft.
If I was you, I would get a Westell 6100 modem. I dislike the 2200 because it overheats too quickly and it almost caused a fire in my house. The 6100 is more of a warm feel compared to keeping your coffee at a boil or hot when putting it on top of your 2200 modem. |
