And my internet cable guy went furious when I downloaded gta iv like 14gb, what a moron.

Hello Guys,
Can anyone please tell me why my attenuation and noise below are very high and how to make them better, thank you

Maybe you live far from the central office.
Make them better? I don't think it's possible, or at least legal. It will require tampering the copper wires between you and the telephone box. I'm not sure though.

I am very close to the central office actually, but maybe Saida lines aren't that good, what speed can I achieve by these numbers?

See the 0.1 dB? Multiply the numbers by 0.1.

Oh what a relief, the numbers aren't that bad anymore, thank you GreenM

andrew55 wroteyea makes sense. G.lite will give you a better ping if in fact the DSLAM accepts it (not all will) but the problem with G.lite is the reduced speed. it's up to you to use whichever connection you prefer but if you want to upgrade to a higher speed i suggest you leave it on regular adsl (dmt) or adsl2+ just b/c i don't really know how Lebanese ISPs test how much speed your line can handle.. they might read your modem stats and check your CO (if someone knows more about this please correct me).

An update for using G.lite, although the ping is lower than adsl1, the ping is not stable at all in games.

So I decided to give this a try myself, here are my intial stats.

Modulation : ADSL2 PLUS
Annex Mode : ANNEX_A
________________________________________
Downstream Upstream
SNR Margin : 35.0 34.5 db
Line Attenuation : 37.5 24.2 db
Data Rate : 1024 254 kbps
Max Rate : 15452 296 kbps
CRC : 0 0

And here are my stats when switched to G.DMT and G.Lite, my latency dropped by about 20-30ms on both. I'm gonna test how these actually play out in games. I got 1CRC though on both settings ><

Modulation : G.DMT
Annex Mode : ANNEX_A
________________________________________
Downstream Upstream
SNR Margin : 37.0 29.0 db
Line Attenuation : 32.0 25.0 db
Data Rate : 1024 256 kbps
Max Rate : 9232 1120 kbps
CRC : 0 1

Modulation : G.LITE
Annex Mode : ANNEX_A
________________________________________
Downstream Upstream
SNR Margin : 36.5 18.0 db
Line Attenuation : 29.5 25.0 db
Data Rate : 1024 256 kbps
Max Rate : 4064 704 kbps
CRC : 0 1

Any recommendations on which to keep? Also, should I keep bitswap and SRA enabled with those settings?
Another question, if I pass by ogero and tell them about upgrading, do u think they would retest my line if i kept my modulation on G.DMT since they wouldn't give me more then 1mbps intially? unlike other ISPs who test the speeds while on phone, ogero needs a week :/

Ramnesia

For me G.lite was bad for gaming, i got 62ms on speedtest but when i play bf4 EU Servers it would jump to 999ms.
With G.dmt i got 78ms on speedtest and very stable with bf4 85-90ms

andrew55

I don't think you have frequent disconnections but regardless keep sra on. Keep bitswap on. And test your connection and see how stable it is on each. Hopefully you'll get the 2 mbps on tuesday.

andrew55 wrotetry G.dmt instead of G.lite and see what you get

I am a noob in this but how do you switch between modulations? I mean I am on G.DMT, how do I try other modulations?

andrew55

Well I'm no genius either lol.. does your modem allow you to change or are you using thompson?

I am not sure actually, I am using a TPlink.
how can I know if it allows me to change??

andrew55

It should be under advanced mode i think. Something like this: http://techblog.thepcharbor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/setup04.jpg

try accessing your modem and searching where you can find the adsl modulation. It shouldn't be that difficult.

Thank you!

my max rate says 9.5 mbs. when i asked sodetel last time they told me that my line can't handle 8mbs. how come? the parameters look okay to me

andrew55

no problem.. hope you figured it out.

ahmad-toutounji

maybe they meant the co
