Can anyone let me know if this is just some banding on my line and I'll have to live with it, or something else that might need investigating by BT? The BTWholesale speed test shows a red bar for the download speed and tells me that some extra tests maybe required to carry out. I have not yet proceeded with that test, wanted to run it by you guys first.
Some background: I previously had a HG612 connected to my EdgeRouter X. The modem stayed sync'd for 32 days with no resync's or retrains. Today I have installed a VMG8924-B10A in bridge mode to the EdgeRouter, which was classed as new on eBay (it's clean and still had it's protective plastic wrapper on so I can believe this). The download and upload speeds on the BTWholesale speed test are identical between both modems. Running the speed test when on the HG612 also showed a red bar for the download speed. I am on BT Infinity 2 as I wangled a discount whereby it was cheaper than the standard priced Infinity 1.
I am on an ECI cabinet since 2013 and whereas I've lost 3-4Mb/s on the download since first getting FTTC installed presumably due to cross-talk, the upload speed has suffered the most going from 7.5Mb/s to the current 4.3Mb/s. I am interleaved which has been the case for a long time, hoping G.INP helps when we eventually see it. I'm on exchange code SLPN cabinet 13.
I have attached some modem stats in a text file and some images. If needed, I can share more of the ES etc. stats once the modem has been online for 24 hours to gauge a better interpretation.
