Last night was my first night of MaxDSL and I was getting between 2Mbit and 4.3Mbit on www.speedtest.net. I came home tonight and I can't get over 30kbps when downloading the test files from http://fuller.zen.co.uk/test/.
It's worth noting that, like others, I've been rock solid on 2Mbit for a while now before migrating to MaxDSL.
I've connected my router to the internal socket of my master socket so I've bypassed all of my extensions.
These are my router stats:
DSL Status : Up
DSL Modulation Mode : GDMT
DSL Path Mode : INTERLEAVED
Downstream Rate : 8128 Kbps
Upstream Rate : 448 Kbps
Downstream Margin : 13 db (this was at 18db when I was on the 2Mbit service)
Upstream Margin : 26 db
Downstream Line Attenuation : 29
Upstream Line Attenuation : 13
Downstream Transmit Power :
Downstream margin fluctuates between 11db and 13db. From the estimator I've used (http://212.23.23.177/calc.htm), these stats should be giving me between 2Mbit and 3.5Mbit, not 0.25Mbit.
Upstream Margin, Downstream Line Attentuation and Upstream Line Attenuation are almost exactly the same as they were on 2Mbit.
'DSL Path Mode' was 'FAST' last night and I was getting some good >2Mbit downloads. DSL Path Mode is now 'INTERLEAVE'. I suspect I've triggered that by moving my router and rebooting it. (Is that possible?).
Any ideas? Is this just my training period so I should expect some slow periods?
Support told me to plug my router into the master socket, run a virus scan, run a spyware scan and then reset my router to factory defaults.
At the moment, I'd rather have my solid 2Mbit connection back than flaky 0.25Mbit MaxDSL.
Regards.
