Adnan wrote@ahb21 you are syncing on ADSL2+ annex M. Now this might not fix your upload problem but you should get higher download sync by choosing annex A.

Annex M allocates more channel for Upload for a target speed of 3Mbps at the expense of some download speed. The maximum upload speed on Annex A is 1.5Mbps for the benefit of more download speed.
Oh nice, thanks for the tip.

dude how did your attenuation drop from 42 to 36
dude how did your attenuation drop from 42 to 36
No idea, maybe it was a bug in the first place?
But changing the Annex mode made things much better.
I've read somewhere that model of the modem (TD-W8901G) I have has some bugs and problems that causes the stats to seem much higher than they are.

I have the same modem and my line attenuation is affected the same way when using Annex M (more than 50dB instead of 44dB on Annex A). I believe this has to do with how Annex M works (allocating more channels on your line for upload rather than download).

I was talking with IDM over the phone regarding an issue with our SOHO account, he mentioned that certain centrals were upgraded with technology to decrease attenuation.

Honestly he wasn't precise but that is what he said. He told me after open speed is activate we will notice improved snr margins instead of what would be expected after our accounts are synced to higher speeds.
If anyone can translate this to me in terms of quality / future capabilities of speed / possible updates that enhance connection

I called cyberia and the guy told me that my speed is now open speed, but I told him that the stats on the modem didn't change, then he told me that this is the max my line can handle, I feel this is a little bullshit.

I told him that my snr can handle more speed and he proceeded to explain to me that snr has nothing to do with it, and the reason is my distance to the CO so I know he doesn't understand shit.
My line attenuation varies between 37 and 39, and max speed i can get is 5 MBPS, can you kindly clarify how you are able to get a max of 10 MBPS ? Thanks

I think you have interference on your line, try to troubleshoot it by unplugging every phone and plugging the modem alone directly without a filter to the socket and see if anything changes

then it can be anything from your apartment to the CO, if you can hook up your modem directly to the phone box in your building then do it and post the results.

okay, thanks for the assistance
I tried another site to calculate expected max rate based on snr margin and attenuation, link. Some of you already tried speedguide.net one, i think the one linked is more accurate.
Guys, are these stats okay?

If you stay at 2mbps then it is ok, but you can't get more than 2.5mbps with this line, you are far from the co
Thanks!
I'm subscribed to sodetel's 4mbps plan, but my speed fluctuates between 1.1 to 1.8 mbps throughout the day. What do you think I can do? Would it increase my usual speed?
