Hi Everyone,
With the recent threads of people ordering 40 Mbps, it made me wonder if my line could get 40 Mbps, but first let me give some history.
A few years ago when Vdsl2 became available, I was only able to order 12/1 (which I had 3/640k originally). Later I found out neighbors could get 20/1. I called about a different issue & also asked why I could only get 12 & neighbors could get 20. About 20 minutes later (& a few tests), It came to be that my line could handle 20/5 with no problems. However it wouldn't connect at 40/5. At this time, the max speed the modem said it could obtain was 28 Mbps down & 6 Mbps up. The tech (a little later that day) talked to an engineer who re-provisioned my line so I could order 40/5. The tech said, that while he couldn't get it to connect, there was a possibility that an onsite tech could get it to work. I only ordered the 20/5 because of the cost & the fact I knew that it worked.
Fast forward to last year.. Everything was working great & then all of a sudden my upload went from connecting at 5120K to connecting at 3660K. I had a tech come out & said the line looked great to the outside. He checked the jacks really quick & the problem ended up being that each jack after the first one, made the signal worse.
So now the modem is plugged into the first jack, where my modem is connected at the following
26112K down / 5120K up
SNR Down 15 dB
SNR Up 11 dB
Attnuation Down 20 dB
Attnuation Up 6 dB
Power Down 16.4 dBm
Power Up 8.2 dBm
Now when I telnet into the modem, & use the "xdslctl info" command, it says
Max: Upstream Rate 8233 Kbps, Downstream rate = 46156 Kbps
One thing to mention was when the tech came out & tested the outside, he said the box outside Attnuation for upload was 13 dB & was baffled why it would drop 7 dB in a short distance.
