Re: New CT DSL customer, slow/nonexistent daytime speeds A little update:
Been monitoring my system for several weeks now, I've tried a Westell wireless modem borrowed from my neighbor (moved out recently), rewired my computer room with cat3 from the NID to my modem, been dropped from the 608/320 speeds to a 320/160 setup. Nothing has helped much with the exception that it doesn't drop nearly as much as it used to with the higher speeds. I put my 6100 Westell back online tonight, and I just finished the inside wiring, so I'll be calling the tech tomorrow to give him an update. I've asked about the interleaved option, he was going to check into it after I rewired my house. Is the cat3 going to be enough? I could not find any cat5 in a small spool, so I opted for the cat3. It appears that it really didn't improve anything anyways over the original wiring that was there prior to today.
Here's my current stats:
Transceiver Revision: 5.2.2.0
Vendor ID Code: 4
Line Mode: G.DMT Mode
Data Path: Fast
Transceiver Information Down Stream Path Up Stream Path
DSL Speed (Kbits/Sec) 288 160
Margin (dB) 7.5 11.0
Line Attenuation (dB) 63.5 31.5
Transmit Power (dBm) 10.6 11.1
At one point, he had changed me to a different switch in the office, but it made my upload margin go into the toilet (download margin DID improve though). He put me back to the original switch, now my download is bad again.
He's mentioned splitting my signal to a dsl only pair, still waiting to see if it will come to that.
Any ideas? | |

Tell the tech that a CO tech can change the profile to interleave, or the programming dept. can do it as well.
Cat 3 is fine as long as it's twisted pair. You won't really see any performance difference between it and cat 5.

Didn't you mention earlier that you tried running a long base cord from the NID directly to your modem, and the stats stayed the same? If that's so, then a NID splitter really won't help much if any. Can you take a peek inside your nid and maybe take a picture of it? Or tell me the make/model if you can? | |
