>> The slower speed is 24/7 and any protocol/location you choose.
Doesnt sound like contention then, more like something limiting to 8Mb somewhere isp/dslam.
>> so an interleave depth of 320 confuses it?
Possibly - Ive never seen 320 depth before though.
>> I've had them since day 1 on UKO and they are, after all corrected errors.
Yes, hence why I wasnt too concerned and I recalled you once saying that due to the high FECs that no way would you go on fast... so hence nothing appears to have changed there either.
>> Edit for latency :
Looks fine - in fact pretty damn good if you are running at 320.
Cant remember the depth of interleaving sky use, but sky default interleaving profile takes it up to the 90ms from up here. (-vs 14ms on Be or IPStream FAST)
>> but if 8Mbps throughput is the max
Somethings obviously wrong somewhere..
>> so might as well save £20/month if UKO can't/won't fix it
May as well
------------------------------------
>> you the stats of the connection running at 24Mbps on a 1.5dB margin
Thats on Annex M -
Annex A can get 24Mbps on
3db profile.
When they first put me on Annex M, they inadvertantly switched interleaving back on by mistake and my max sync was around the
18,800 mark. When they switched it off I got
22964 - both at the 3dB profile, which is where I got the 3.5Mb overhead difference from.
I then later DMT tweaked it, and it ran at 24Mb for several weeks quite happily on Annex M with a 1.5dB SNR.
When I first went live at the 6dB profile on Annex A, removing interleaving also gave me an additional circa 3Mbps.
Something happened in July and my SNRM (and tx power) have dropped over the past couple of months.. me wonders if it something to do with more users on the dslam? but my sync speeds now arent as good as when I first went live, and I seem to be on a downward trend
iirc mr_chris has seen similar on his line too.
But I'm not really moaning about it cause I know Im damn lucky compared to others.
