kudos:18 | Post your line stats if you know how. If your line is good enough, you can put a request for a 19meg profile, which takes the overhead into account and you'll get 16meg real speeds. |

1 edit | I've been struggling to get my line stats, I even disconnected my router to get to »192.168.1.254/ or speedtouch.lan ... but I still couldn't. I downloaded DMT but it wont recognize the modem ip address.
I scoured the net but to no avail. I use Speed touch 516v6 with Linksys WRT54GL (Tomato 1.27)

| Here is how I get my line stats from SpeedTouch 516v6,
Simply disconnect the working DSL modem from router
Connect direct to LAN port on PC,
Launch DMT tool with 192.168.1.254/23 IP address (default)
*If Modem is rebooted TCP-IPv4 setting from Windows need to be changed.
Change TCP/IPv4 settings,
Manually enter the following,
IP: 10.0.0.1
Subnet 255.0.0.0
Default gateway: 10.0.0.138
Preferred DNS server: 10.0.0.138
Once DSL modem is sync'd launch DMT tool
connect using 10.0.0.138 IP.
No need to touch Login/Password.
*but for me doing it the first way doesn't seems to work for me.
so i manually enter those info to IPv4 to gain access. |

| Thanks for the quick and helpful response everyone!
I'll be sure to go to direct forum for further assistance.
*For two years with 6mbs profile, I was stuck 4ish-mbs thinking that's the best I could do / nothing could be done. I guess DSLReports kind of open my horizon on this one. |

Got my upgrade yesterday. Downstream RCO was 99% (on the same profile in the screenshot) until I reinstalled the POTS splitter myself earlier today. After I did that and found I was suddenly looking at 80% RCO, I tried requesting a bump to the 19455/1085 overhead-adjusted profile. I've got a response saying the upstream shouldn't be a problem to bump, but as far as the downstream goes, they're telling me I'm already on the correct, maximum possible profile. Going by other posts it seems (and I'm hoping) the downstream might get bumped as a consequence of the upstream being fixed, but I'm still waiting to see how it goes.
It should go without saying that being told if I get a higher downstream profile it'll just be a mistake which I should feel lucky for and that the non-overhead-adjusted profile I'm currently on is the maximum possible is absolute shenanigans. Bell gives the higher profile to their own customers, they're obligated to provide the same damn profiles to wholesalers, we shouldn't have to beg and plead and risk Bell's diagnostic fee just to get the service that was advertised and we paid for. |

My RCO was at about the same as yours on both up and down when my profile was first set to the 16320/800 profile. I called tech support, they ran some tests and within a couple of hours my profile was bumped up to the 19453/1088. Hopefully everything goes as smoothly for you. |

With a line like that i'd also post in the Bell forum asking "what the hell happened"? I'm sure the people who read the Bell forums would like to see the shaft job Bell gives the third party isp's. |

You said it best
If all PPoE connection is actually correct at 80% RCO why not advertise it as 13MBps and call it a day? |

said by HiVolt:Wow, thats an awesome line... At only 1dB attenuation, it isn't so much the line being "great" as it is there not being much of a line to speak of in the first place: at ~18dB/km@1.5MHz, that puts the remote under 60m from his modem. You would have to use "creative sabotage", not merely sub-par wiring to ruin stats without affecting attenuation over such a short distance. |

...it doesn't look good. |
 .
But that being said, I ordered the 16/1 service and here's where I'm at. I've checked, there's only 1 phone jack in my new apartment, which funnily had 3008/800 service on it already when I was here on Tuesday and plugged in my modem and things synced good.
Now, I've heard these TP-Link modems might have issues so I'm wondering if its that which might be causing my problem? I just bought the TD-8616 because it was a good deal....and no sense paying for extra since I already had a router which was more than enough to handle just my traffic (WNDR3500L), so I didn't end up paying more.
Will changing the modem make a difference? I get to about 12.8mb on speedtests, just didn't save any. |

I just got my 16M service activated today (of course no tech showed but still hope will get the POTS splitter) and was trying to get the line stats from my TD-8616 using OrbMT. I noticed you were able to read them what did you configure in Settings? I selected Modem Type - TcTool (TrendChip), IP Address - 192.168.0.1, Port - 23, Username/Passwd - admin/admin (default)
Thanks, |
