Re: PPPoE session from Montreal terminating in Toronto???

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.

IKNS identified -- PPPoE session from MTL terminating in To?

clarification
49=I
4B=K
4E=N
53=S

494B4E53=IKNS

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.
