Re: SpeedTouch 516 Tweaking :)

5 megabit might be pushing it.
can you rerun the program and dont start the snr monitor. that last box on the bottom right should give you an estimated loop length. what is it?

Your the perfect jinny pig
can you go into Modem Options and play with the Target SNR. Raise it 4 points hit option to then resync see what the % occuation is. and play with it post results

Riazg> Yes thats the link. Bicephale found it i belive.

Hummmm.

I am having some internet problems.
I would not lose sync but my internet would stop working for 1-3 seconds. msn signs out and my downloads stop then comes back.
Anyone else have these problems?

Will do in a day or two, but right now I just want to observe the modem and compare to the SpeedStream. Got disconnections with the SS, although they were short and mostly I got the same IP address.

The 546 doesn't seem to have disconnected at all yet, uptime is 8h20min.

Once I observe it and know how it works better, will play with the extra settings.

How about the 'Transmit Power' option on the 5th tab panel? I have a feeling that it's intended to raise the DSLAM output power 9send a request for that anyways). That could help people with large attenuations like mine.

Yeah, I know 5 Mbit/sec won't happen on my line, but maybe I can get 4 Mbit.

3 Megabit service worked well for almost a year before I had any problems. The wire length is about 4 Km according to Bell support people. DMT shows a vague estimate (3.8 to 6 Km) for wire lenght.

EDIT : used the TX Power option on 5th tab and a DSL resync. Seemed to raise the DSLAM transmit power from 18.5dB to 19 dB.

here are my findings. one thing is obviouse.
HIGHER POWER Better stats...
The higher the target SNR the lower the attainable rate is.

11 4913/1088 34/15.5 6.5/12.0 9.5/12.5 30/4

Default Setting (after a modem reboot)
12 7327/1066 34/15.5 14.0/11.0 19.5/12.5 30/7

I think the default settings are pretty good.

Anyone who is getting sub 5megabit want to play with your modem and show us what it can do
