Cue the Twilight Zone Theme...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20470151 Mon, 12 May 2008 14:14:53 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20441671 d_l : If you have a home run without a splitter at the NID, then I'm going through deja vu all over again ;).

See this thread: »Upgrading to Elite from Pro and Distances...

You don't want a bridged tap, but your home run may acts as one. The home run without a POTS splitter at the NID makes a bridged tap and cuts off your highest tone bins. The dev/null post was a bridged tap out on the fellow's loop and not on his inside wiring.

You should test your line stats again at your NID to see if there is improvement: »AT&T Southeast Forum FAQ »How do I check modem stats, synch rates & speeds at NID - Residential Housin]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20441671 Tue, 06 May 2008 18:31:01 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20441630 breese : Thanks...

1) What's a bridge tap and how do I "get one"?
2) I think the modem is a 4100b (5 lights)
3) I have a homerun from the box to the modem and filters on all USED lines. Anything else I might want to look into?

thanks

If you can see this dev/null post before it disappears: »/forum/r204396···oreAfter , then this is a line running at full power with about 27 dB attenuation. The top graph is with a bridged tap and the bottom is after removal.

Are you using a 4100, 5100b, or a 4100b modem now? It helps to interpret the attenuation levels.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20441576 Tue, 06 May 2008 18:15:02 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20441560 breese : Thanks and please let me know what else I can look at.

This says your line can't handle the full Elite speeds as the modem is operating now: "Downstream Maxrate (Estimated): 5612".

Please post your stats from the middle table of this page: »192.168.0.1/statistics.htm . It is possible that maxrate is a low ball number because your modem isn't running at full power and the stats will help interpret that possibility.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20441517 Tue, 06 May 2008 18:01:54 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20441409 breese : I am looking to upgrade and found this great topic.

Please review my readout.
I did have to update my modem.

thanks in advance!!
