<description><![CDATA[dslx_nick posted : Sounds about right.  If you're in a patch of cool, dry weather, you may benefit from unplugging your modem for a short period, then reconnecting, to allow it to sync up at a slightly higher rate if it can (predicting 18Mbps, so your online speedtests would probably 16 or so).  Of course, such speed gains will be short-lived come the next rainfall, but might as well take advantage of it in the meantime.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[bstroud93 posted : Thanks Nick for taking the time to look into it and explaining! 😁 Normally the downstream SNR is higher but everytime it rains it drops to low 6’s. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[dslx_nick posted : Unfortunately, no, sorry.  Full breakdown of reasoning below, if you're interested...<br><br>Your downstream SNR is at 6.0 (which is basically minimum, for a stable connection).  The way the lines are profiled to overprovision (you're paying for 12, ACTUAL gross sync is 16.348, NET speed as per speedtests presumably the 15 that you're seeing), for an 18Mbps circuit the physical sync profile would be set to about 24 as the target... and as you can see, 23.112 is the max (which is a calculated prediction, so take it with a grain of salt... but combined with that SNR that's not too promising).<br><br>Your upstream does have a healthier 9.6 SNR, but max bitrate of only 1164 is also not promising for a speed upgrade.  Standard speed profiles are 12/1 (12 down, 1 up), 18/1.5... and the upstream doesn't look like it could hit 1.5.<br><br>From what I see here, it looks like the field tech set the physical sync profile target to 18, ACTUAL sync is capping out at about 16, and that's as high as it can go without becoming unstable.  I ran a prequalification and it's similarly not showing any higher packages available, which means two things: AT&T's database agrees with the real-world data we're seeing from the location, and the infrastructure isn't built out to allow bonded pair at that address (otherwise we'd see 18 and 24 as potential options).<br><br>TL;DR = your line is already profiled as high as it can go.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[bstroud93 posted : Fastest speed when I moved to my new address last September was 12mpbs down. I talked the tech into bumping it up as much as he could which he got me to 15mbps. Do you think my line could support 18mbps down?<!-- 33127860  HASH(0x9b824c8)   --><div class="borderless"><TABLE WIDTH=96% align=center border=0 CELLPADDING=4"><TR><TD ALIGN=CENTER VALIGN=MIDDLE COLSPAN=3 WIDTH=100%><A HREF="/speak/slideshow/33127860?c=2467765&ret=64urlL2ZvcnVtL3IzMzEyNzk3My54bWw"><IMG class="apic" id="p15963" BORDER=0 TITLE="760900 bytes" SRC="/r0/download/2467765.thumb600~4bbe2401e9bb472e4a94af0224698168/E18CC22B-4A16-44BF-98A3-BD170E1C8D9C.png/thumb.jpg" ALT="Click for full size"></A><br>Line Stats</TD></TABLE></div>]]></description>
