Re: Need to switch between Interleave and FastPath? Part 2

Here are my stats. Should I try for FastPath?
Transceiver Revision: 4.2.0.11
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) 14.0 9.0
Line Attenuation (dB) 38.5 29.0
Transmit Power (dBm) 12.7 11.9

That line should be ok. The upstream sync may lower slightly but if you're willing to cope with that, you should be all set to go.

Thanks for the feedback.
I have a few questions.

What is upstream sync and what does it mean when you say that it may lower slightly?

Is there a link you can provide to help me understand what the stats mean?

This below FAQ search should answer your questions.

Basically, I said that because the upstream's margin is at 9dB. Typically, I find that when FastPath or a speed is bumped up slightly at 9dB margin, the line will usually sync at 832kbps rather than 864kbps which you're at now. But given your attenuation, you should be fine even if 32kbps of sync is shaved off.
