When I switched to pro AT&T said I was just on the borderline of pro speeds and suggested we "give it a shot" to see if the line could take it. In the 2 years since then I have never had as much as a slowdown in speed or slight latency issue with the line, It has been rock steady until now. Seems that I'm not the only person experiencing troubles that lives in the Los Angeles County/Orange County area either so maybe something went wrong with a server or maybe there was an overload due to summer heat and more people on?

I will make a topic in the AT&T Direct forums as soon as the remodeling is done (won't be long now I hope) and also include a link to this thread. Thanks for all the help again.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Speed-Problem-High-Latency-and-Slow-Speeds-27438613 Sat, 18 Aug 2012 18:23:52 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Speed-Problem-High-Latency-and-Slow-Speeds-27352703
The bottom line is that your attenuation is really too high for Pro speeds so you will periodically have speed train downs or sync problems. I wonder if your attenuation jumped for some reason after AT&T sold you the Pro speeds? I didn't think that AT&T would sell Pro knowingly with a loop as long as yours.

Those latest modem stats suggest that your low upload speeds may be caused by anomalously high attenuation in the upload frequencies. Your attenuation at 300kHz is higher that the overall attenuation for all used frequencies. I've never seen that before.

A slow upload speed like you are currently seeing could definitely slow down your browsing speeds. When you try to download anything with those upload speeds, your computer probably can't respond fast enough with ACK packets. This would make downloading seem sluggish.

I think that you should post in AT&T Direct: »AT&T Direct and let the techs there look at your line stats.

How do I fix the interleaving problem? (is it a problem)

I have been using my old SBC 1070-B router to gather statistics and troubleshoot my line, I'll switch back to my Netgear though and see how things go with that.

I'll post an update when I can, Thanks.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Speed-Problem-High-Latency-and-Slow-Speeds-27352581 Sun, 22 Jul 2012 06:40:34 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Speed-Problem-High-Latency-and-Slow-Speeds-27333004
The throughput test is good.

Everything looks good for now except those modem stats. It looks like your upload sync dropped to 128 yesterday. That might suggest a modem dying problem. Maybe you could borrow a modem and test your connection stability with it.

Good luck with the renovations.

Today I waited for what was occurring every time I had max speed but as time went on nothing happened, I do still have slightly higher latency than I used to (10-20ms more) but I have managed to sync at max speeds all day today without a disconnect. Unfortunately I might not have access to electricity for the following 2 weeks due to remodeling so I might not be able to continue monitoring the line until after it's all done.

Here are the DSL stats of a re-sync that was dropped on Thursday.
»i.imgur.com/hbS1r.png

On Thursday morning I reset the broadband link and watched it re-sync with those stats it lasted until the afternoon. When surfing, The internet started becoming more and more sluggish and suddenly the connection was lost then reconnected at lower speeds. I decided to leave it alone to find out if the speed was making it drop the connection or not, It remained stable.

Do you think whatever was wrong is now fixed?

I'll monitor the line more when I can and update on whether the line worsens or continues to remain stable. Thanks for helping. :D

P.S. I also did a throughput test immediately after re-sync this morning.

I suspect that AT&T placed your circuit on interleaved mode after the truck roll to clear up CRC errors and sync drops. I'm guessing that your attenuation might be increasing slightly in the afternoons to cause your sync speed to train down or maybe you simply have a train downs due to increased line noise in the afternoons. Could please you post a set of sync stats from the morning when your sync speeds and throughput should be better to verify this?

Could you run and post gateway ping tests: »SBC DSL FAQ »How do I do a gateway ping test? during the time you think the speed is working correctly and when you think you have a slowdown?

The wireshark graph looks ok, not perfect, but good enough, so I'm not convinced there is significant problem there. I've seen similar looking graphs that were collected on circuits that were considered to be operating well.

I took this screenshot of my DSL statistics about 7 months ago in order to compare them with a D-Link router

and these are my DSL stats now.

I have read a post on these forums where someone from the Midwest was suffering from these symptoms, It turned out to be that his upstream was being "challenged" and it was fixed by having his profile reloaded. As you can see my upstream margin has taken a massive hit (dropped by 10!) and is apparently a sign of "challenged" upstream. Do you guys think that could be happening to me? or is the problem something else?
