afterburn999 join:2010-09-12 Scarborough, ON	afterburn999 Member 2014-Apr-21 12:19 am [Internet] Is this good or bad line stats? I just recently switched to 150/15 and can't seem to saturate my connection with any kind of download despite being able to do a speed test and showing 160/15. »imgur.com/UmF7KEN

Also, if cable signal was sub-optimal, it would reflect on speed tests as well since it would have nothing to do with routing or application implementation.

sbrook Mod join:2001-12-14 Ottawa	sbrook to afterburn999 Mod 2014-Apr-21 12:21 pm to afterburn999 There's nothing wrong with the dowstream signals, certainly. There is an anomaly with the upstream ... Not out of spec, but unusual ... There's about 5 dB difference between the signal on upstream port 3 compared with ports 1 and 2. Normally these are within about 1 to 2 dB of each other. On the early channel bonded modems, a difference of more than 1 dB would actually result in failure. What is in your modem's log?

sbrook Mod join:2001-12-14 Ottawa	sbrook Mod 2014-Apr-21 1:01 pm OK, I didn't read that you were getting 160/15 ... presumably you're on the 150/15 tier. How are you trying to "saturate" your downstream? It's very possible that you are just expecting more than the sites you're downloading from can deliver.

sbrook Mod join:2001-12-14 Ottawa	sbrook Mod 2014-Apr-21 3:31 pm Even with 9 downstream channels should still work ... the fact that a speedtest gives 160 Mbps, it's nothing to do with the modem.

It won't because it will have a ratio ~500 seeders to one leecher. A single leecher will probably never even connect to another leecher let alone down from one another.
