Smith6612 posted : @sicfreak91: You're good to go for FastPath. If you can snag ADSL2+ from Verizon you can get additional speed as well. 15Mbps shouldn't be out of the ballpark.

@Capnblinski: Get the link kicked to 3-5Mbps and you should still be fine for FastPath.

@segacorpceo: You can probably hang onto it however due to distance, I would recommend sticking with Interleaved, if you'd like to maintain speeds. FastPath will cause your line to drop more often if it's applied and you're having issues maintaining sync. You could try some tests at your NID to see if the statistics are any better there, but likely you'll need to get the upload speed dropped a small amount to 640, and the downstream dropped to 2112 if it's still dropping at 2528 with the lower upload.

streaml1ne posted : The plan was 7.1 to 15. The tech who came out to hook up my existing line to whatever DSL gear was on the pole tested the line at 10/1, but download tests consistently put me at 8/768. I'm about a quarter to half mile from the CO in my town, and I was surprised I got 10/1 actually. Like I said it's a backup connection for me and I'd prefer lower latency over peak download rate if it's not too much hassle to change I'd like to try.

Smith6612 posted : I don't believe an intermediate speed exists at least according to how I've seen Verizon provision speeds. The Intermediate speeds usually show up at 3Mbps or lower where lines start to have speed problems at farther distances and such. Never hurts to try but if it's already at a state where you're happy with it, I wouldn't mess with it.

The next speed down from 10Mbps/1Mbps is 7Mbps/768kbps.

Smith6612 posted : I wouldn't doubt it if some of the techs (mainly frontline) don't have the ability to push it. Many of them usually have to go to a higher up technician who has the ability to adjust profiles and so on. Of course, I might just be mistaken but from my own experience you're often put on hold for a few minutes while they try to reach another person who can do it.

Either way the new Optimization System Verizon has in place has changed around how they support some things, so that is most likely another factor to consider as well. Before techs could probably just go by and adjust what they needed to adjust, and have since had the tools taken away to do that for the sake of letting the computer system do it.

I don't know personally. Either way, best of luck, and thanks!

You may want to consider trying the Verizon Direct forum here. I don't know if they still push these changes out since in recent months they have been replying back stating it's "automatic." Interleaved is the default setting Verizon uses now, whereas before it was based on line condition and area.

Smith6612 posted : I wouldn't do it. You're at 5Mbps already and despite having ADSL2+ you're pretty far out and are holding what would be considered proper sync (though upstream and downstream are slightly lower than it should ideally be). If you'd like Fast, you'll have to decrease the speed unless Verizon can shorten the line.

@Shadyink13: Your line looks to be OK. Your upstream is slightly off sync however, and I would expect the margin on the upstream to be a bit high for the distance. You could also get a speed upgrade on the downstream if you'd like. 7M shouldn't be completely out of the ballpark.

@daro7: Your line looks like it was optimized. I wouldn't get FastPath on there without a speed reduction and some stability checking (basically, check to see if the line can reliably transfer data over the long term, and can stay online without a drop).

@bshampine: I don't specifically know how that modem reports Interleaved mode, but that almost seems like that is what it is suggesting. To verify, you can try running a traceroute while your line is idle during non-peak hours to see what sort of latency you get. 23+ms latency is often a sign of Interleaving. You should be fine for a higher speed package if you do upgrade, and you are good to go for FastPath as of thus far with those stats.

[So, what does ASSIA mean? EDIT: It's a company that sells bandwidth management tech to the telcos.]

By the way, the following are my HSI Field Ping Test lines from just BEFORE the above, when I still had fastpath. Do you still think the margin is good enough and the attenuation is low enough to maintain fastpath at 7Mbps down? I note that both are a bit worse when I'm on fastpath than when I'm on interleaved, but doesn't seem like a big difference.

Smith6612 posted : I'm not seeing any reason why you should be on Interleaved and I doubt the modem is the reason. If the engineer is setting your line to Fast and it's being reverted a few days later, have they checked to see if ASSIA is running on the line? Interleaved is Verizon's new preferred mode for DSL connections and ASSIA when it runs seems to be quite biased towards it. I can't confirm how it's set up but that is generally what it seems to do.

Most lines in my area that were on Fast have been put to Interleaved mode as it is now the default setting, rather than default based on the plant in your area or your CO. I was moved to Interleaved for a day, where I had tim_k turn FastPath back on and it's been like that since. I've had Verizon adjust a few other things on my line for various reasons but I still have FastPath because I asked for it specifically. ASSIA also does not run on my line.

I am attaching my complete HSI Field Ping Test - you might find it interesting. What to do? Is there anything to suggest to the engineer to help him keep this nailed to fastpath?

Could it have anything to do with my modem-router, a new D-Link DSL 2750B? Also, the engineer sent a tech to my home, who added a voice-DSL splitter made by Westell. Are these clues?

Thanks.

Smith6612 posted : It works by removing error checking from the line. This decreases the latency on the line and is noticed when the line is not saturated, however it will not resolve latency caused by saturating your Internet connection. So, pretty much if your brother is using the connection up completely it will not prevent that sort of lag. You'll notice less lag and lower pings though.

Smith6612 posted : It looks like your copper's doing pretty good. You should be able to get FastPath turned on without too much of a problem on that line, as long as it's not dropping sync.

@Natipoo: Your line is good but I would check to see what you can do about the upstream. Your line is really close but the upstream SNR is low, and the transmit power is high for the distance. Check around your home for any old or corroded terminals the copper wiring connects to and clean/fix it up as needed. If you have an older style NID such as a Gas Tube Protector or a Carbon Block consider having Verizon come out and replace it with a more modern one, even though they do not affect DSL service if they are in good shape.

@DJRayEarth: It's hard to say where Massive Lags are coming from, but Interleaving won't really cause that. You should be fine for FastPath, but I would suggest working on getting your upstream improved a bit. If you can get that improved you'll be able to enjoy a bit more speed and overall the connection should run better too.
