Re: New teksavvy customer slow download speed??? Hi Sticchio,
Trouble-shooting will help you decide what to do next, if your statistics were stable all day long then i wouldn't mind suggesting that you contact your ISP to get your profile raised to 4032/800 Kbps but it's not too clear if FastPath can be supported. Do you have a similar box?:
»Re: Just signed up for DSL. Hello fellow Teksavvy users!
In any case, you should have a station protector with a ground wire connected to your main ground in the basement, probably near the main power panel...
The lack of a station protector is untolerable in my own opinion, yours might vary but if you don't have one it's an opportunity to get an NID installed at Bell's expense!
As for the logs, once again their purpose is simply to prepare you before contacting the ISP. Don't expect any ISP to parse spreadsheet data to assist you... I, on the other hand, i'd be please to take a look at the data you can collect but you'll have to ease my task:
Set the sampling rate to four times a minute (15 sec) to ease future comparisons...
Don't enable items that inflate the log-file without a good reason: "Bitalloc", "SNR2", "ATT"... You can open the log-file (Read-Only) while monitoring to make sure it's recording normally. Just don't try to modify it by yourself: quit the text editor without saving.
Begin the recording a few minutes before midnight and terminate a few minutes after midnight to make sure i can get full daily records that i can combine later, for further analysis...
Of course, your ISP may have a different suggestion to make. The decision is yours.
