Maxsync

It doesn't matter what CPE you use or have. It is a DSLAM/Provisioning thing

Xtreme 3.0 - Without MaxSync - 3552/384

Xtreme 3.0 - With MaxSync - 8128/512

Speed tests are not synch rates. You need to pull your synch rate to see if you are on MaxSync and get an idea whether or not your line may be a good candidate for 6Mb.

No need to call tech support. Your line is doing great for Xtreme 3.0 service.

Post up your DSL Statistics page before you upgrade and people can look at them and tell you if it would be a good idea or not. It's a big jump from 3552Kbps to 8128Kbps and everything needs to be in good shape to receive stable service.

If they look a little iffy then pull them from the "Test Jack" at the NID or INI to see if they improve. If they do improve enough to justify upgrading to Xtreme 6.0 then you can setup a Homerun. Your stats wont be any better than they will be at the "Test Jack" without AT&T Southeast doing some work, within reason, and they very well may be as good as they are going to get.

How do I check modem statistics, synch rates & speeds at the NID? (Residential Housing)

You can check here Upgrade My FastAccess Service to see if you are able to upgrade to Xtreme 6.0 service.

Just because it says you can upgrade doesn't mean it would be a good idea to.

"Those who beat swords into plowshares usually end up plowing for those who don't."

Quotes by Benjamin Franklin.

Living in a high-rise and having the developer installed NID in the kitchen, makes it impossible to check, as it also makes it impossible to run CAT5 to any location. It took a few years before it was possible to reliably set up wireless throughout.

The site for qualification simply tells me to order away, although it may not be possible to achieve. I do have a dry loop, but this should not affect the line. I know we probably go through a SLC96 and I remember when I originally signed up in 2000 when they had SLC90, since the cards were shared and sometimes got noisy, they had to move my DSL to another card, and I always had to remind them to do the same at the C.O. end.
Things may be different now.

If my only risk would be $5.00 additional for a month's try out, I suppose I should go ahead and try it.
