Hi all 
           Just managed to firmware unlock my speedtouch 585 v6 from Tiscali which arrived today.  8)  only took me 2 hours, lol.
I have been informed a lift and shift has been completed by wholesale. 
I have just managed to get DMT working.
I have selected a 24hr noise monitor on DMT tool.
Would it be possible to post that here, and have someone run there eye over it for me pretty please?

[roseway]

Yes, you can certainly do that, and we'll be pleased to have a look at it.

Many thanks
will post stats morrow

Hi,
   sorry to be a pain, when test is complete how do i get the graphs in here?
Cheers peeps 

[oldfogy]

First you will need to take a Screen-shot" of the graph, then using something like Photobucket you can post it on here for people to see, this is also a free service.

The program I usually use to take the actual screen shot is called: "Screen-Hunter" which is also a free program, available from:

You will need to register with Photobucket who do also "occasionally" send out emails, but nothing to be bothered with with regarding receiving Spam or Junk mail.

Unless the screenshot is very large, you don't need to host it somewhere like Photobucket, you can just include it as an attachment to your message. See the link "Additional options & file attachments" under the box where you type your new message.

Can you press PrintScreen on the keyboard and then copy and paste into Paint and then attach to your post ?

I think I did that once on another forum but it was a bit small.

p.s. How do you search for your posts on here using  your username ?   I've gone into search and can't get it to work.

Can you press PrintScreen on the keyboard and then copy and paste into Paint and then attach to your post ?

Yes you can, but it can be a bit fiddly then having to crop out any unwanted areas, whereas "ScreenHunter" will allow you to do this at the same time.

I'm not sure if this is what you want, but:
If you click your username it will take you to your profile, from there scroll down to the bottom of the screen, there you will find:

Additional Information:
Show the last posts of this person.
Show general statistics for this member.

If you select "Show the last posts of this person" it will produce a list of all or most of your own posts.

[roseway]

I imagine that PrintScreen captures the whole screen, doesn't it? Better to use a proper screenshot program.

I believe that the search function requires you to give it some text to search for, so you can't just look for every message you've posted.

Thanks for info.

Hey thanks for all the advice, learnt something new again :-)
I'm wel happy with the speedtouch kept sync for DSL-Link Uptime : 1 day, 12:21:37.
The homehub kept resyncing forcing my ip profile down to 135kbps.
So things are looking up. 
Tea time was a paticular problem for me, but it held steady.

Could just do with the exchange telling my router to resync to a higher sync speed, and lower noise db.



Test1 comprises of two tests

1. Best Effort Test:  -provides background information.
    IP profile for your line is - 500 kbps
    DSL connection rate: 448 kbps(UP-STREAM)  1088 kbps(DOWN-STREAM)
    Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 437 kbps
2. Assured Rate Test:  -provides background information.
    Assured Rate IP profile on your line is - 500 kbps
    Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 497 kbps

SNR 22.5??? That's ridiculously high! Where is the target SNR slider set in the modem options tab? You should be able to get so much more out of that line by getting your target SNR reset by your ISP. However some ISPs are a bit more clued up than others when it comes to requesting this from BT wholesale.

Ps Re screenshot - you can press Alt + PrintScreen and it will take a snapshot of the active window only.

[farmergiles]

I think BT will sometimes see a line where the customer has had a few problems and instead of taking the time to find out why there have been problems they look for the easy solution. In my case I reported a few problems and the day before a  broadband engineer came to visit the noise margin was raised to 15db (info found on my ISP stats page) whereas in the past it had been 6db.
   When they came out in the morning when my line is usually at it's best anyway, they checked the BT network and then the guy plugged in his laptop to my master socket  and got a connection.
  Result "oh at the moment everything is fine sir, a bill will be sent to your ISP,goodbye have a nice day".   

If you can lower the noise margin  a little with DMT ( and it stays down ) some have said it can creep back up if BT have set it high on purpose, or your ISP has the ability to get BT to lower it then perhaps a reasonable sync speed is eventually achieved.

The slider is just in the default position.
Shall I just try a DSL resync, this would make the router reset at the default noise db?
Cheers.

"I imagine that PrintScreen captures the whole screen, doesn't it? Better to use a proper screenshot program."

Hold down the Alt key, then hit PrintScrn will capture only the active window, not the whole screen.
