Ottawa, ON | [DSL] 15/1 DSL actual speed? I just switched to 15/1 DSL from 6/0.8. The modem (some TP-link) used to sync 5056/800 and now it's syncing at 17983/797. Upload basically didn't change at all. Does that sound normal? Actual speed tests on the net give me about 14/0.6 (used to be 5/0.6). |

These are the actual stats right now (att is attentuation, cap is capacity utilization):
rate noise att cap power
17983 6.7 27.9 100% 13.9
rate noise att cap power
797 6.8 10.6 100% 11.3
Should I ask for more? |

It was dropping out every 5 min for about 30 min but it's been stable for 30 min now. Modem is TP-link 8816. |

| Switch to a broadcom based modem which plays better on the higher adsl2+ profiles. You'll see better stats and should be good for the full upload speed.

OK, I see Canada Computers has D-Link DSL-520B ($40) or Thomson ST516v6 ($50). Either of those good enough for 19/1?
Thanks for your help. |

| I've used the D-Link, it will work just fine.  |

On the 15/1 but my modem won't sync at the 17mbps, was told my rco was to high making it unstable 90%, have the same modem also. |

kudos:2 | dbv, was that speedtest taken using a new D-Link modem?
What are your new signal-to-noise ratios? |

kudos:3 | Your speedtest is fine for that profile. If you change modems your stats will likely improve and you can ask to increase the upstream profile. |

kudos:3 | The older D-Links work equally well and are sometimes available cheap as refurbs. Other good alternatives are Zoom and Netgears that you can pick up for $30 or so. Unlocked 2wires also work well. |

Where do you get those? PC Cyber used to carry refurbs but they're dead now. |

| I bought my Zoom X3 from RBC in Bells Corners. They have other good ones as well. Lots of 2 wire modems are available on Ebay. Avoid Bell 2wires unless you want to spend some time unlocking them.
