Something doesn't add up here.
When we perform a 'Lift & Shift' on FTTC, we have to be at the Cab to prove that a) The new port actually synchs up, and b) That we can get dial-tone through the copper tie cables.
All new ports given have a default profile of 40Meg DS and 15Meg US. Once our DCoE confirm they can see the 40/15 profile against out JDSU, they immediately disable this profile.
Generally, the 'Lift & Shift' takes approximately 20-30 mins, during which time the old port will also be completely disabled. So the bit I don't get whatsoever is how the engineer could see ANY kind of synch speed during the entire process ?? It's impossible.
He did say something about 40/15 and did disappear down the road for a while during the process, I was in the room while he called someone to disable the default profile but my recollection of chronology may be skewed as I was looking after my 3 month old lad that morning, and he was onsite for about 4hrs in total
It did take around 30 mins to complete and he made a couple of calls during the process, he commented on the 84Mb figure before reconnecting my HH5B on his return to the house - but I didn't get to see his JDSU. Whether that was the actual attainable I don't know, makes sense as my first sync back in March (before the gradual loss of speed) showed an attainable of 95Mb, which soon evaporated..
I'm beginning to think it was the attainable, but can't figure out why JDSU would see attainable of X and why my HH5B would see attainable of Y (Y being X minus 14Mb)
If I'm honest I'll forget all about that if I can get the HR issue sorted, and get something I can actually check my stats on..
