Could anyone tell me if anything is out of the norm here? I use CenturyLink DSL... I have the 15mb package.
I've also been having problems for years. I mean real big problems. Have had several technicians out to try and diagnose but to no availability. My connection constantly drops, I never get speeds anywhere close to what I pay for, and I'm lucky if my internet works longer than 1hour a day.
I've had several new modems, so I know that's not the problem. The technicians tried to say it was the wiring in my house. Have never had any problems with the phones or anything. But he ran a new line straight from the box outside with a female rj-45 jack, and it still does the same thing. So I believe that would eliminate it being the wiring in my house?
But here are some stats: Transceiver Revision : A2pB030m1.d23a Vendor ID Code : 4D54 Line Mode : ADSL_2plus Data Path FAST
Transceiver Information Downstream Path Upstream Path DSL Speed (Kbits/Sec) 5260 691 Margin (dB) 4.4 6.0 Line Attenuation (dB) 40.5 26.8 Transmit Power (dBm) 0.0 12.6
I concur with Irish Shark . I would add that SNR should be much better than 4.4 dB with line attenuation at 40.5 dB. I have 11.5 dB SNR with 51.5 dB attenuation at another site.
Well, my connection is constantly dropping. When it's bad, I'm talking every 60sec or so. But the phone lines are fine. No problems at all.
For example. I'm not really having any problems right now. Which is extremely rare. But every time my connection drops, it's not just my PPP status going down. I actually lose my DSL Connection. So it will connect back at a different speed. Sometimes it's 1.2mb, 4mb, 3, 2... etc. etc. Completely random.
But my stats right now are great. It just won't last very long.
Transceiver Revision : A2pB030m1.d23a Vendor ID Code : 4D54 Line Mode : ADSL_2plus Data Path FAST Transceiver Information Downstream Path Upstream Path DSL Speed (Kbits/Sec) 12479 894 Margin (dB) 11.2 9.5 Line Attenuation (dB) 37.0 24.0 Transmit Power (dBm) 0.0 12.6
And since the problem is intermittent, I can never get a tech to diagnose the issue.
JCB your circuit is going to be very unstable. You want your noise margins to be high and your attenuation to be low and you are just the opposite. If you have the time I would like to see what you numbers are at the network interface on the side of your house. That will rule out inside or outside. Plug into the registration jack on the side of your house then post the numbers you have been posting. That will give us an idea on which way to go. If they are still bad there then it could be bridge tap but if they are good there I'd say there is something in your house that's not filtered. IE an alarm panel or satellite box....
Had the same issue, after I traced everything I found a tiny exposed wire, dropping signal... the high freq that they send down is awesome, BUT the modem is sensitive to any fluctuation... if the modem senses ANY flux it will reset the ip look for a ground spot.. (bare wire)
