  That's good. I did noticed the ping drop to much lower now!

Nearly as low as mine! Seems fine.

Much better than Plusnet ISP. My daughter say no issues with any buffering on her xbox that's good news.

[Alex Atkin UK]

The only service I ever see buffering on is YouTube and its not exactly buffering, its actually a failure to connect to the server to pull the next piece of the stream.

I have however had Netflix dropping down quality dramatically recently over Plusnet.  It was rather unexpected seeing as I was watching Lucifer that I would expect to be on a cache server at the ISP with it being new episodes.  I guess its possible the cache got overloaded?

[kitz]

I've never seen any buffering issues with Netflix nor other streaming service whilst on Plusnet. 
Whilst I havent been doing as much streaming over the past couple of months, prior to that (last year and over the winter), aside from when I was in hospital I was literally streaming 24/7.

I think it down to her old samsung 32" TV (8 years old) cos I have no issues with my new 65" Ultra UHD 4K LG tv in the living room two years ago with all streaming inc bbci player UHD 4K, netflix UHD 4K and youtube UHD 4K. She probably need new TV

I have reflash firmware again on Zyxel Gfast Router as the wireless issues has been fixed now. All ok on 5GHz getting 150/28 in all household devices 

So I am glad to have one router from the wall socket.

I'm not interested in the stats max.   

You know that everything is working and you are getting the speeds you should.  They don't matter any more.
We know you are getting the 160/30 that you paid for...  and that the line cant get the 330... so you are on the correct product.


---
PS.. 
You added even more stats again even whilst I was typing this reply.   Stop!   It doesn't matter and it makes no difference.
Go enjoy your connection, use it what its meant for and leave the stats alone.

[adslmax]

We know you are getting the 160/90 that you paid for...

160/90  I wish 90 upload haha

[kitz]

I saw the typo as soon as I hit send and immediately edited within about 5 secs.   
You must have been quick to see that.  - See your connection is so fast that you saw it before I'd immediately fixed it 

[adslmax]

and that the line cant get the 330... so you are on the correct product.

 

Yes I aware of this. Only 209 max line rate no point of going 330/50 because the upload will stayed at 29. No difference. I only do one off stats as I am glad the wifi issues has resolved now thanks to re0 and Zyxel support.

[adslmax]

Updated:

I have changed DSL cable from 2m to 0.5m to be much closer to the Gfast socket from Zyxel - wow - massive different!  The upload has increase!

Line max rate now much improvement 225/31

That's it for now. Will leave it alone for next 12 months happy with full stats 160/30 now 

Getting throughput speed of 152/30

I doubt very much the cable made that change  Your previous sync posted was using 4dB SNRm on upstream and its now back down to 3dB.  This would suggest that conditions had improved since your previous sync which was probably 3dB at the time it obtained sync.

Time of day, weather and the temperature outside can easily make a 1dB difference.

[adslmax]

I thought openreach gfast all product on 160/30 and 330/50 should have both on 3dB SNR by default?

Downstream big jump to 9dB.

You got wrong way round it that 4dB SNRm was on downstream (now at 9.1dB) and 3.1dB SNRm was on upstream (now on 3.1dB - unchanged)
