| The profile has been changed. Delay has been reduced with about 30ms. First hop ping is now a much nicer 20ms instead of 50ms.
Downlink was reduced, as you suggested, measured is almost down 1Mb/s to 4.5Mb/s. I must say I'm a bit surprised I didn't expect that much of an impact. More surprising is the uplink which increased quite significantly. Measured uplink was before only about 350kb/s and now it is up to 600kb/s. Overall a good change. |

1 edit | Yes, I see the AL2 to AL1 change
My DSL is similar. Upstream could not sync at 800 but keeps stable 700 regardless the fact that noise margin is displayed too low. In your case, it is 5dB now.
Downstream is decreased from 6 to 5M.
I am glad you feel these changes match better for your needs and you are happy with them.
BTW what model is your modem?
Thanks.

Sounds like a DSLAM - modem incompatibility that gives the strange readings. |

| Your modem is good, actually.
I tried many other modems on same scenario(My DSL) and some (old ones) don't work at all or hardly sync at 1-2M
The Bell technician's yellow diagnostics tool didn't sync at all, either.
Otherwise, my and your DSL is considered as good ones 
And they are!
Thanks. |

In fact, since you sound like you are able to do it, could you please post the more complete stats:
telnet, then:
cat /proc/*/*m_s*
Thanks! |

You are the first to confirm what looks like a way for Aztech modem users to identity IKNS DSLAM devices.
Thank you! |

| And now explain IKNS... I've seen IKNS mentioned in the forum a couple of times but I don't know of any DSLAM called IKNS, although I only know Alcatel and Ericsson so I might be lost. |

| It should be some abbreviation but the meaning is type (brand) of CO equipment used in DSL . I think, it is Canadian made
For some reason, it behaves different than classic ones and creates some support troubles, as you see.
I am trying to find any official information on that as many people do.
On Bell site I've seen discussions where they claim that all IKNS-reported problems were minor and fixable by other means (something like this).
In two words:
The user is very close to CO but upstream is not synchronizing at full 800 and/or NM is shown very low, say 6dB.
Some strange interleave modem reporting on AL1 profiles and/or higher pings.
Unfortunately, 70% of cases I open recently seem to be in this category.
Best regards.
