Downgraded! Yay!

16-03-2006 11:28pm#1Well I never thought I'd be celebrating a speed reduction on my ADSL, but after connection/synch loss woes dating back to the line upgrades, I was on the verge of reinstalling my v92 modem and/or jumping from a tall building.
BT finally managed to put my line back to 2mb/256kb after 3 weeks (they promised me it would be 48 hrs :rolleyes: ), and my line has gone from dropping every 5 minutes to being rock solid (so far).
My SNR during the trouble were fluctuating from 8-1db and it seemed like I was being booted at peak usage times (6-10pm).
SNR is now at a steady 10db. Speedtest came back that I'm getting 1.7mbps...during the 3mb period I was synching at 2.4mbps, so not that much of a loss really.
I'm expecting a monumental battle with the BT billing dept to have the correct charge applied...probably have that cleared up by July sometime
Anyone else had to get downgraded?0

...because his line was incapable of supporting higher speeds so it had sync problems, the higher the line speed the less it can cope with high line noise...the further from the exchange & quality of copper the higher the noise can be.
So in short if a line is disconnecting at 2MB (provided its not a physical connections problem in the end users house), odds are downgrading it to 1MB will allow the line to operate correctly as high noise levels is a common cause for disconnect problems...once the obvious has been ruled out!
