As long as your S/N ratios are within spec as well as your transmit and receive power levels are good, you usually do not see an increase or decrease in speed. What tends to happen is that as the upstream transmit power approached 50+ you start to lose sync and it sometimes appears as slow speeds. your 44 reading is fine.

N3OGH Bear patrol must be working like a charm Premium join:2003-11-11 Philly burbs ·Verizon FIOS ·Verizon Online DSL	reply to NY Tel Well, I was willing to eat some crow on this one, but crow just aint on the menu this evening. I attached my cable modem directly to the grounding block, and here are my results. Direct Connection to grounding block Downstream Power .52 dBmV Signal to noise ratio 34dB Upstream Power 39.25 dBmV Speed test results were 3341 down, 348 up Connected through my home's CATV wiring Downstream Power -3.09 dBmV Signal to noise ration 34 dB Upstream Power 44.0 dBmV Speed test results 3650 down, 348 up Looks like the problem isn't the wiring. the 44 dBmV on the upstream isn't the best, but it's well within the limits, and I should be getting full speed with it. Well, I'm getting PM'ed from the system, my trace route is in....

Besides I still can not get DSL but two blocks away can? I dunno. I have Comcast now, and quite frankly, I'm not terribly happy. The price just went up, and the service is pushing $50 with my privately owned cable modem. For the most part, all I do at home anymore is surf the web, get e-mail, and the occasional iTunes download. If not, Verizon's got a pretty good introductory rate for 768 dsl that I may look into. If all you do is surf the net, check e-mail and an occasional download, the DSL web page loading is faster than cable. 50 bucks is just too much to pay for Internet access. With your cable modem, if your upstream transmit power is less than 45 and downstream less than 13, un-ratting the coax will not improve your speed. It might improve your S/N ratio but not enough to boost your speed. I had cable for4 years and dumped it because of the 45 dollar charge and LOUSY throughput.
