Hi all,
I am pleased to say that after living without wire-based broadband Internet access for over 5 years, I finally have a 10 mbps DSL connection at my home! Getting it set up would not have been possible without the great customer service provided by Joey and his team here on DSL Reports. (I will elaborate more on that in my future review).
I've had the modem (ZyXEL Q1000Z) online for about 22 minutes, and I'm already starting to rack up on CRC errors. I've got 94 near-end and 24 far-end CRC errors in the span of 22 minutes. Does this seem high?
Have a look at my line status here:

The connection seems to be working reasonably well, but I also have voice service, and the line sounds like absolute trash (yes, I've got a filter installed and I've checked with a telephone at the NIB - still sounds awful). I haven't yet plugged my modem directly into the NIB, but since the telephone sounds horrible there, I don't imagine it is an inside-wiring issue. I have only two CAT5e home runs directly to the NIB, anyway, so it should be pretty solid.
What do you all think?
Thanks. This place is a great resource!
