then dare I say 10db/kilometer line attenuation.. Have a great day
and you have been previously warned about bringing that up when it has no relevance to the OPs post since it only serves taking the thread off-topic and detracts from actually helping someone who comes here for assistance.
1. 2. 3. 4.As chris eloquantly put it
"
even if the line worked out at say 15dB/km loss, that wouldn't give us any more clue as to the source of the dropouts."
Youve done it again in a thread where it bears no relevance to finding a solution for the OP.
If its relevant fine then feel free to mention it... but if it isnt please dont...
but since you have, its about time I responded to your comments.
There's a bit of a twist with attenuation, it increases with frequency; the higher the frequency the higher the attenuation
Exactly!
A fact that I have
previously stated, but graevine chose to ignore simply because it was me who said it... preferring to responded with the insults such as "
pretend competent engineers" sadly misleading those seeking advice".
Ive also said that any old reports that anyone may have based for voice is wrong. Whilst there may be standards laid down for voice, there is nothing for adsl.
Instead he relished that Phil came out with some figures and chose to focus on those, not realising that phil had made a error and done the calculations wrong.
Someone was so focused on a self ego trip and attacking me to completely overlook the mistake in Phils post that I immediately spotted. Unfortunately the thread was locked due to offensive remarks before I got to read the post, therefore I wasn't able to respond to it.
Hopefully though anyone reading that thread will also spot the obvious error.
Just because I don't work in the industry doesn't make me stupid.. nor does it give anyone the right to diss me or the site simply because Im not a trained telecom engineer.
Its not me thats claiming Im an expert in this field, unlike some I could mention who are implying that they are.
My attenuation rose by a small amount (about 0.3-0.5dB) each time I got an upgrade from 512k to 1Mb to 2Mb
On average attenuation is said to increase by 1dB for each 4Mb of speed increase, as it utilises more of the higher frequency bins.
ADSL2+ uses higher output power, doubles the downstream bits and has an increased frequency spectrum which on average increases the atten in the region of 3-4dB.
different routers load the buckets differently - especially if there is spare space, some will spread the load out and some will load them from the bottom first, filling each bucket before moving onto the next one.
makes sense.
have always stated when I have published, or reported that the figures obtained from routers are only an /snip/ guide,
Ahhh glad that's sorted now, I'm pretty sure I told you at the beginning of the year, that you cant always rely on router stats for the attenuation, simply because different routers will report different figures.
Which incidentally is something afaik I was one of the first to bring up on AG many years ago in the early days of adsl.. I certainly know that post was referred to by others for quite a while.
