Re: [ADSL] BE Broadband - Altrincham area
A J, thanks for the links and giving me somewhere to start.
I've got the following readings from my Netgear DG834G...
Sync speed - 2272Kbps
Attenuation - 17dB
Noise Margin - 31dB
I've fed these into the farina1 web site and got the following....
Maximum line speed - 8128Kbps
BRAS data rate - 7.15Mbps
ADSL2+ maximum likely line speed - 20300Kbps
ADSL2+ Maximum likely IP throughput - 17965Kbps
Is this actually demonstrating that I should currently be getting a much higher throughput than I currently have and I should be getting in touch with BT and giving them these figures? If so, what should I be telling / asking them to do apart from 'give me what I'm paying for'!
Cheers. |

and perform the test at different times of the day and night. This is the only speed test that BT will take any notice of. You need to test at different times to rule out exchange contention. A test in the middle of the night should do this.
I cannot use the test anymore as my line is now on Be*'s ADSL2+ kit but the test did give your bRAS profile and speed when I used it last.
Now if your speed falls way below your bRAS profile then you need to contact your ISP and supply them with the results of the tests.
