21CN Migration!
« on: August 02, 2012, 03:39:14 PM »

My exchange is finally being upgraded to 21CN. Despite what SamKnows says, the exchange seems to be ready and Zen (my ISP) have ordered the migration to 21CN. Once that happens (they estimate 5-6 days for this) I can upgrade to ADSL2+.

Some background: I am estimated 4Mb, but I get 5-6Mb now so I am hoping I will get 7-8Mb. My attenuation is currently 40dB.

I'll keep the thread updated with the progress.

I'm afraid I wouldn't know how to even go about attempting that ?? I'm sure B*Cat and Walter have some magical site they visit, to check out these things ??

I would help if I could. :)

 :hmm:  Hmm . . . THBT, that is not too far west from Walter's normal haunts and being only just over the Surrey / Hampshire border, I suspect that Walter may be able to glean some information on the exchange status.

At a guess, if all goes well, I would expect you to achieve 9500 kbps DS (i.e. ~ 9.5 Mbs).  :)

Is that at 6dB or 3dB out of curiosity?

I'm basing that guesstimate on a 6 dB target SNRM.  :)

Zen have informed me that the migration is set for the 9th August. The move to "up to 20Mb" then should take a couple of days, or so I am told.
Hopefully all goes well :) .

I woke up this morning to find this under my Zen account, under the tracking page for the order:

Re-setup account on RADIUS servers for linked order item(s) - FAILED 09/08/2012 01:45

Is this bad? I have a feeling...

Migrated to 21CN now, still on ADSL Max but I am now syncing at 8000Kbps!!!!

Stats attached.

Looks like the engineer is still doing tests at the exchange as the line (including the phone) went dead a few minutes ago. The line was erroring quite a bit.


The line has now synced back up at 32Kbps slower, and the SNRM margin seems to have decreased despite the lower sync speed (does anybody know why?).


Stats attached.
