|  Should I ask for Fastpath?
When I first got Acanac, I was on 3mbps fastpath profile.
Connection Status Connected
Us Rate (Kbps) 800
Ds Rate (Kbps) 3008
US Margin 11
DS Margin 29
Trained Modulation ADSL_G.dmt
LOS Errors 0
DS Line Attenuation 11
US Line Attenuation 7
Peak Cell Rate 1886 cells per sec
CRC Rx Fast 0
CRC Tx Fast 3
CRC Rx Interleaved 0
CRC Tx Interleaved 0
Path Mode Fast Path
Then I bugged Acanac and had them submit a ticket to Bell, Bell responded very quickly, now I'm on 6mbps (!) interleave.

Near End F4 Loop Back Count 0
Near End F5 Loop Back Count 0 Should I bug Acanac again to see if they can get me on 6mb fastpath? I use VOIP phone and game so lower ping would be nice...
From yesterday to today, my DS Margin dropped by 1/3, what might be the cause? Things that changed are:
1) 3MB Fastpath --> 6MB Interleaved
2) Changed the wall socket and disconnected all other phone lines in my house, I thought this would increase the Margin... |

1) The CRC count is meaningless in absence of a time scale.
2) Unpluging every phone doesn't remove wires inside walls. |

| 1) I see. I actually haven't started using the Acanac connection much yet. My home network is still hooked up to Rogers. I guess I'll switch over to Acanac soon and start keeping track of time-CRC errors.
Is it possible to tell whether or not Fastpath would perform well with just the other info?
2) Oh I actually disconnected the other wires in the basement. None of the other phone jacks in the house are hooked up anymore besides the one for the modem. |

| Hi again,
Your statistics are great but you'll really know
everything is fine only when it's clear there's
not enough data corruption to affect the service.
As for house wiring, this may prove handy with an
old demarcation point made of post-war bakelite:
And this is how you make sure everything else is ruled out:
