| S/N ratio is a measure of the ratio of usable signal to noise. Too low, and the modem can't differentiate the signal from the noise. It is an electrical characteristic, which should be reasonably stable, barring certain systemic changes (I don't think traffic volume qualifies as the kind of systemic change that would greatly affect S/N ratio).
If your neighborhood has Uverse available, the F2 span should have been conditioned for Uverse. If the problem isn't in the F2 span, it could be in the F1 span, which doesn't need to be conditioned for Uverse. I think it could also be a problem with the DSLAM; but, if they have cable maintenance on it, they probably already ruled out issues at the DSLAM. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum |
