on the 31st March, I finally got connected to BT in my new house. As being a new house, it had never gotten a broadband connection so I got put on the Stabilisation peroid or optimisation peroid. It is the 2nd day of the process and its reading:
Connection Status Connected
Upstream Rate (Kbps) 448
Downstream Rate (Kbps) 8064
US Margin 24
DS Margin 7
Modulation MMODE
LOS Errors 0
DS Line Attenuation 32
US Line Attenuation 31
Path Mode Interleaved
I am just checking if this looks healthy to all of you. As a BT employee told me, at the moment they are testing a solid 8Mb line, then soon be testing a 2Mb line then on the 9th-10th day be testing full optimisation which i believe is something like 8187kbps correct?
However, it seems that the exchange only supports an ADSL max speed of up to 4.5 megs according to the reader on the website, or is this reader just an estimation and it could have actually been updated to 8MB? Im just slightly confused!
Just a comfort question really, plus from advise I've seen from Kitz, I have kept on nagging them to make sure the bRAS profile is set after the stabilisation is complete.
Also, as it says that DS is 8064 kbps does this mean that I should be getting speed reflecting this, or should the internet be VERY slow and unresponsive as it is at the moment?
Thanks
Luke
