Even after I switched it from ADSL2+ to ADSL1 mode with DMT I'm still getting about 2700/800... while also pinging 8ms to my first hop instead of 35ms. From what I've experienced this is an excellent modem.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20473296 Tue, 13 May 2008 00:01:58 EDT Re: the thomson vs the dlink 300g http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20468921 st7860 : thomsons are supposed to be great modems.

so the thing is then, if your upload on a thomson sucks, borrow a Dlink 300G(not the 300i) and test it out.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20468921 Mon, 12 May 2008 09:58:26 EDT Re: the thomson vs the dlink 300g http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20465697 anon : I bought a boxed non telus speedtouch 516 from ncix.com and have poorer upload performance by far with it. Download is perfect but the uplink is a good 20% lower.

DSL modem tool indicated a ton of CRC errors on the uplink with this modem.

I got it as I was scared my ancient 300g will die sooner or later and there is no way I am using a 2wire. As it stands I am using the 300g still with the thomson on the shelf as a spare.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20465697 Sun, 11 May 2008 14:44:28 EDT Re: the thomson vs the dlink 300g http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20452313 st7860 : conclusion

- they fixed CSIP so now i only see MY MAC, and NOT someone else's. before I only had someone elses but i couldn't see my own mac. but my internet was WORKING still.

- now, sync speeds are the same as last week 6 down, 1 up. the difference is upload speeds are 105KB/sec instead of 60KB/sec.

- thing is, the thomson speedtouch still produces disgusting upload speeds of about 55KB/sec. it takes a dlink 108G to produce the lines rated speed of 105KB/sec.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20452313 Thu, 08 May 2008 15:36:20 EDT Re: the thomson vs the dlink 300g http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20439711 st7860 :

Hmm, maybe a profile issue? I've had issues of people moving and they had to change the port profiles. See if you can get tier 2 to do a tweak on the port.
i'm on the phone with them now. yeah, maybe you are right, its a profile thing, maybe.

my CSIP profile shows another mac/ip that isnt mine, but my router still works, because that router was already registered in the old OCA system last year.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20439711 Tue, 06 May 2008 12:37:12 EDT Re: the thomson vs the dlink 300g http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20439352 TGumby : Hmm, maybe a profile issue?

Kind of odd. It might be a line issue, are you having problems with the overall speeds? Not just your bit-torrent?
real speeds in other applications are decent for a 6.0 service. about 580 kilobytes per second down, and around 60 kilobytes per second up. the line doesn't go up and down. its fairly consistent. its just that a THOMSON modem works like crap on this line, but an old dlink 300g works nicely.

i have a dlink dgl-4300 router which is great with bittorrent. its just that the NEW place has a rather marginal copper line i guess. but like i said, its just weird, since the thomson is a modem, not a router, why would bittorrent cause it to choke on having a lot of upload connections.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20439329 Tue, 06 May 2008 11:28:06 EDT Re: the thomson vs the dlink 300g http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20439305 TGumby : Kind of odd.

i guess the new port has a line that is marginal and/or i am farther away from the local box on the street. i had the 6.0 package at the previous place too, it peformed well.

but i just thought thomsons were the best modem for all situations, apparently not]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20439268 Tue, 06 May 2008 11:18:42 EDT Re: the thomson vs the dlink 300g http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20439241 TGumby : Possibly port issue?

I have same case as you. I notice thomson has slower upload speed then dlink 300g. i try to tweak thomson (with custom firmware + setting) but still no luck. Right now i am still using dlink 300g because it has faster upload speed.

In my case 300g give me about 70k upload.
thomson give me about 50k upload
yeah, I thought the thomsons, since they are not routers, just modems, wouldn't choke on bittorrent, but it appears they do.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20438619 Tue, 06 May 2008 08:33:24 EDT Re: the thomson vs the dlink 300g http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20438379 helphelp911 : I have same case as you.

with bittorrent(many simultaneous connections)
thomson gets around 25KB/sec uploads
dlink 300g gets around 50KB/sec uploads
downloads with both the thomson and the dlink get 580KB/sec.

of course under regular usage, cuteftp tests, etc, the thomson can max out at the proper rate for this specific line, which is around 60 to 70KB/sec.

the thomson is not a router, so i don't understand why this would happen.

the line is close to the telus box, the technician who installed service here said so(and i saw it too, around 300 metres away.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20427871 Sat, 03 May 2008 21:13:43 EDT
