You should try connecting your modem to the demarc coming outside your house; where the main line comes into a box, then your house wires run out of into your home. If you don't have a phone jack at your demarc, you will need to disconnect your phone lines from the demarc and connect your modem directly to the main line.
I have seen one case were a friend of mine had a short in his house which caused his DSL performance to be low. Once he ran all new wires to the outside box, and the Bell guy it was good he started to get proper speeds.

well... the attenuation is "OK" but your SNR is VERY low. Try to check your phone wire that connect to your modem. Connect directly to demarc outside of your house. Also unplug all things on the line (like the alarm system if you have one, all phones, all ExpressVu receivers, etc...)
Also be sure that you don't have electric wires near of your modem or your phone wire. |

cgigate,
There is no such thing as a 2.5M profile. There is only 1.5M and 3M, thus you are a 3M profile that will give you the highest possible speed your modem/line can handle. Your line attenuation is so high that its probably why your upstream maxes out at 640k instead of 800k.
shmore2,
Your attenuation is pretty high that's why you are getting 5 SNR, if it were lower, say in the thirties you would be getting around 15 to 20 SNR so don't listen to cybersnow.

I said that his attenuation is "OK". It means that you can use it without any problems but if you get something highter than that, you will get problems. Attenuation of 50 will not cause an interuption of your sympatico service. |

Have you tried to see if they will come and check your line? Have you tried connected your modem to your demarc bypassing your house lines? These steps are important, you don't want a Bell guy coming to your house to say the problem is inside your house.. Any work they do inside which requires them to use a screw driver will cost you $85 per hour, minium 3 hours!

Hey Leathal, »Canadian Broadband FAQ »What are all the different speed profiles available?
I am also on a 640kbit upload profile.

Forgot that Interleave could also be a factor in the 640k down speeds. 
So you guys either have 3Meg Fast path, what the max that your modem is able to get from Bell, or you have Interleave with same..

| What 640kbit down? I said up.
And I am not on the 3meg profile. I am on 1.7/640 profile listed on the page. And my line is capable of a higher sync, so it is not struggling to sync at 3008/800.

| Follow the bad line and make sure that it doesn't run parallel to a 120 volt AC line or any fluorescent light fixtures. If it has to cross a 120 volt cable, make sure that the two wires are perpendicular to each other. You might be able to get the bad line back.
Good job of troubleshooting! |
