Hi all,
First time poster, bit of a lurker
I've had Sky FTTC since April 2012 and their Pro product since it was launched in June 2012 - in the past I've unlocked the firmware on my HG612 to get the line stats out, but I was interested to see another site that mentions that I could increase my line rates...
Would upgrading to these later or other firmwares I've seen out there do this?
I mean, I get 60Mbit, but when I first had Pro turned on the line ran at 70Mbit and it runs stable at that, so I don't know why it decides to drop it to 60.
Would I be right in thinking I could tweak a modem to try and get some Mb's back? If it's not possible then I don't want to break a ball over it, 60/20 is still very good for what I use, but if I could eek some more out then let me know!
HG612 sits right next to the master socket with a 30cm RJ11 cable, there's nothing else I can do to improve things there. I recently experienced a storm which took out something in the cabinet - when it was all fixed I was back at 70 again for a short while, so I assume now it has dropped again then that's all I'll be able to get, but looking at previous figures: -
Sync 65341/20000
Max. Attainable of 77104/22251 SNR 6.3/7.1
Anyone shed any light on this or shall I just be happy?
I suspect with the SNR of 6.3 that is my lot. I'll have to get some fresh stats.
