| Re: Thomson SpeedTouch 5x6v6 FirmWare v6.2.H (v6.2.17.5) Hi DKS,
Wow, that's exactly what i intended to post at 1st
but mine had the XP look! It's right, the support
for v7.2.0.8.0 doesn't exist yet in 'DMT' but i've
shown that there's no problem with future versions
in 'OrbMT', provided that Thomson won't attempt to
cripple their FirmWare any further. It only needs
a minor patch, i'm pretty sure that Amatt plans to
include this one in the next release on which he's
actually working. It's a matter of weeks at most.

| Re: Thomson SpeedTouch 5x6v6 FirmWare v6.2.H (v6.2.17.5) Hi DKS,
My fingers are crossed! I Rebooted/Resynchronized the
unit to clear all of my counters: i've got quiet periods
but i also have burst which cancel such good statistics
so it usually takes a few days before my opinion is set.

Gain is around 300 Kbps at peak hours.  | |

| Re: Thomson SpeedTouch 5x6v6 FirmWare v6.2.H (v6.2.17.5) Here is a screen shot after 11 hours without any reset or re-syncro. Latest DMT does not provide all informations but you can see the modem is still at 6db and 7 db at peak hours (now 12h33 Pm in Paris.
This firmWare seems much stable than the UK I was using previously.
With my line and attenuation I can't reach (I am far) the 8192 -1024 from my ISP. | |

I could be mistaking but you appear to mean that the SNR Margins are steady targets while rates vary depending on your signal's environment!  Yes, and this is my choice. With 53 db attenuation I could have very stable 2048 / 256 Kbp/s with much higher margin. But I need good Upload speed. 3 years ago I change for 8192/1024 - There are no other options - and yes, time to time I loose sync when lines are too busy.. Intermodulation  This happened much more with an older ST-510.

| Hi Bicephale,
You might have some difficulties finding an exact sample of my Speedstream. It is a Bell-issued (with custom Symaptico firmware) Efficient Networks Speedstream 5200 E240. According to another poster in the know, it contains a TI AR5 ADSL chipset. Too bad this modem has to go back to Bell.
DMT Tool ver. 9.01 didn't completely work with this Speedstream because of its crippled firmware. It only showed the attenuation and SNR on the download side. On the whole, it feels snappier than the Speedtouch and has faster upload in bittorrent.
The ST516v6 I bought to replace this Speedstream is an OK modem. The amount of on-board RAM seems a little on the low side, only 8 MBs. For now, firmware 6.2.T will be the firmware of choice for my situation, I will give 7.1.4.7 another try in the future. I can't complain though, I bought this ST516v6 for dirt cheap.
In the end, the total perceivable performance of a modem can't depend solely on the firmware or attenuation or SNR, but has more to do with its construction (on-board memory and the chipset).
Btw, the reseller where I bought my ST516v6 has access to all the ADSL2+ modems that GNet makes or distributes, so I could have gone with another ADSL2+ modem. | |

7.4.1.7 DMT stats |
After much grief in the past weeks and past few days, I've finally made 7.4.1.7 working, and it is working beautifully.
Before 7.x.x.x refused to sync. Now it sync and it syncs solid. Although I can't tell the improvements in terms of the perceivable speed, but the quality of the connection has certainly improved. Improved both in downstream SNR and upstream attenuation, compared to 6.2.29.0 (6.2.T).
One curious behaviour of the 7.4.1.7, it takes much longer to sync than 6.2.T, but the quality of the sync is definitely better.
I still believe, whenever new firmwares come out for all the different brands of DSL modems, it takes some time before all the Bell COs get them working in the DSLAMs. Some COs get them working faster, some later. | |

| Bicephale,
You need to realize that you are 100 times more demanding than the average user, heck, even than some of the power-users that visit these forums.
Your obsession with these trivial issues with the Speedtouch modems, as well as your responses directed to the Teksavvy techs are not very nice.
They don't claim the ST modems can turn water into wine. However, this is what you seem to want it to do. Stick with what works in YOUR situation, and just leave this be.
You are a valuable asset to the DSL forums here, but you often go out of line and you've lost quite a bit of credibility amongs the regulars here. | |
