Figured I would throw my stats up here to check (I'm on the 7.1mbs plan)

Transceiver Statistics
Transceiver Revision A2pB020b3.d20h
Vendor ID Code 4D54
Line Mode ADSL_G.dmt
Data Path INTERLEAVED

Transceiver Information Down Stream Path Up Stream Path
DSL Speed (Kbits/Sec) 3360 800
Margin (dB) 5.9 10.0
Line Attenuation (dB) 53.0 31.0
Transmit Power (dBm) 18.1 11.9

It's preferable to have noise margins =>10. Under 10 and you can start having sync issues.

Ironically, I was an online gamer a few years ago but since have gotten away from it. At the time, I was on fast path. Today out of curiosity, for the first time in years, I decided to look at my transtats.

Transceiver Revision: 01.00.09.00
Vendor ID Code: 4
Line Mode: G.DMT Mode
Data Path: Interleaved
Transceiver Information Down Stream Path Up Stream Path
DSL Speed (Kbits/Sec) 3360 864
Margin (dB) 20.5 14.0
Line Attenuation (dB) 16.0 5.0
Transmit Power (dBm) 8.8 11.1

What do you know, somewhere over the last couple years VZ bumped me from Fast to Interleaved. Think it's safe to request the switch back? Maybe even a upgrade to 7.1? Been forever since I asked them that, and I used to ask monthly.

Recently the latency has gotten so bad I generally can't stream or game properly from 2pm-12am most days
If it were ~200ms it would at least be tolerable, but it's usually ~300+

how does mine look?

Transceiver Statistics
Transceiver Revision A2pB020b3.d20h
Vendor ID Code 4D54
Line Mode ADSL_G.dmt
Data Path INTERLEAVED

Transceiver Information Down Stream Path Up Stream Path

Your stats look to be pretty good. You should be fine for FastPath.

reply to Smith6612
Can I (should I) switch to FastPath? Based on ping times (~25 local, ~93 across the country) I assume I am Interleave now.

hello smith i have a ongoing post in direct for about a month under rci2990, and still havent got switched over to fastpath.somehow i used to be on fastpath but noticed i got moved to interleaved at some point.i play mmo games and need the lower latency.was wondering if you could check to see what the holdup is. thanks

is anyone on these forums anymore?

We are. This thread just doesn't mark itself as having new replies as it used to for my account so I'm never sure if I marked the thread as unread or if it is actually new at this point.

If your line was moved from FastPath, just put in a request to get it moved back. It happened to my line about a month ago and it took no time at all to get it kicked back.

@ae79: I would not go for FastPath without a small speed reduction. Your line is synced up properly as it is but the margins are low due to distance. If you're confident it will work well enough, you can try for it but I wouldn't do it.

nevermind i didnt see that tim replied to me in a pm.

Perhaps it is silly to post my specs but this is what I have:

Transceiver Revision A2pB020b3.d20h
Vendor ID Code 4D54
Line Mode ADSL_2plus
Data Path FAST

Transceiver Information Down Stream Path Up Stream Path
DSL Speed (Kbits/Sec) 5214 860
Margin (dB) 27.8 15.0
Line Attenuation (dB) 34.0 14.3
Transmit Power (dBm) 20.1 12.4

Data Path says Fast so I guess I already have fast path? Now I just wish my speed wasn't stuck in the stone age.

Hi, I verified with a representative at Verizon that I have the High Speed Enhanced service, which is supposed to be 1.1-3

My transceiver stats are:

Transceiver Revision: 7.1.254
Vendor ID Code: 4
Line Mode: G.DMT-Mode
Data Path: Interleaved

Transceiver Information Down Stream Path Up Stream Path
DSL Speed (Kbits/Sec) 1792 448
Margin (db) 18.5 12.0
Line Attenuation (db) 42.5 18.5
Transmit Power (db/Hz) 14.0 10.0

Is there anything that I can do in order to improve my speed?

I cannot even properly stream videos at the lowest settings, such as BBC news broadcast clips or even standard Youtube clips... There are 3 users in our family, and if one person tries watching the stuttering news broadcast, the other 2 users cannot even browse the Internet (pages take forever to load, etc.)

It has gotten particularly bad in the past month or two, I believe. So I'm not quite sure what changed during this time...

Thank you very much for your time!

Try plugging your mode into your NID for us. It seems Verizon might be limiting your speed due to noise rather than due to distance at the moment. The upstream likely won't play nice with 864kbps sync rate.

Thanks for the reply!

Unfortunately, I think it's located in the common cabinet that my home and several others share. The common cabinet is located on another home's property so I cannot access it...
