Re: Sudden Speed Drop/Weird Stats/Support Says "No Problem"
I'm having the same problem (see my post here).
For many years I'd get 3360/864, but now I'm lucky to get 1500.
I have a Westell 2200. Thought it was the modem, but I see you're having the same problem with the 327W.
So what would bring downstream margins down like that ?!?!?
I think Verizon has abandoned all copper maintenance in favor of FiOS, and couldn't care less about DSL now. |

2 edits | Update: Verizon phone repair came and found a slightly loose wire (old style Western Electric screw and post setup). But that didn't change my bad transceiver stats.
Then I managed to get a slightly used Versalink 327W and hooked it up.
Now this is more like it, considering that I can see the CO in the distance from my living room window:
Transceiver Information Downstream Path Upstream Path
DSL Speed (Kbits/Sec) 3360 864
Margin (dB) 15.5 10.0
Line Attenuation (dB) 38.5 24.0
Transmit Power (dBm) 8.5 11.8
Problem solved. It was the 2200 that was acting up.
Apparently (to quote Verizon Direct) the Westell 2200 is no longer training correctly. |

united state | It probably wasn't training properly is a good guess. 2200s are old units so it probably just got old. Otherwise, you say you can see the CO from your home. How far is it in terms of miles or feet? |
