Basically if you are doing anything productive on the internet upload speed comes into play, sadly productivity has a limit here.
Hey all,

My setup: TPlink 1043nd router running my own custom built openwrt image + TD8841 (fw updated from tplink.sg - legacy devices website)



Ogero said that I cant go over 1mbps, but last year I had 4mbps in my grandparents house which is next to my house with some crappy wiring. The stats shows the attainable rate which is well beyond 8mbps and gmt.992 with snr margin of 30+ db, grandparents: around 6mbps and 11 snr (with thomson tg585 v7 though), is this some kind of bandwidth policy set in my area? I will try to contact the technician section of ogero if possible since no one has any idea of such details on the hotline section.

Would appreciate suggestions,
Thanks!

@TPR0 i am afraid that broadcom chipset might be defected, the upload is wayy too lower than it should be the BCM6338 have this issue where for no reason the upstream will get damaged and you get terrible upload performance, this is how my 2640u went to the garbage, it might be something else but looking at the stats the 6338 problem has got you, ogero will not give you more than 1mpbs with this upload figure Try another router, cause i might be wrong

NAM wrotethe maximum upload I've seen in lebanon is 1mb .. i don't think the differnece of 512/1mb matters anymore
I'm subscribed to terranet's 8 Mbps plan and I receive 2 Mbps upload. All ISP's in Lebanon follow the same rule; the upload speed is 25% of the download speed.
ADSL isn't capable of more than 1Mbps upstream, unless you enable annex M on ADSL2+ which moves the numeber to 3Mbps but i dunno if it is supported.

but in general the max upload speed is 1Mbps in Lebanon, which is really shameful.

I think you're right. My upload speed fluctuates between 1 and 2 Mbps. I took a speed test last week and the upload speed was 1.67Mbps, I retook the test right now and here are the results: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/4256614004


I contacted terranet a couple of months ago regarding this issue and they offered sending a technician over to check the wiring. I declined because I was busy at the time, do you think I should give them a call or is it just a waste of time?

No, they still did not activate the service, their side. Tried it 2 weeks ago in ksa, great SNR margin, 21768 kbit download, 716 kbit upload ;)

Guess I have to wait another month to prove it to ogero.

lol man, what does ogero have to do with you having 300k "ATTAINABLE" upstream rate when it should be at 1.1Mbps, and 716kbit/s you got in ksa proves that its faulty, when your download rate is 4M and above the upload should be maxed out since it uses lower frequency channels its not logical to get 21Mbps download attainable rate while failing to max out the upload at 1M , whatever...

What central are you connected to?
sorry for late reply, iam connected to saida central.

Is that April's fool troll, nice .

Else, you can't reach theoretical speeds on adsl2+, can you?

Borrowed a tg585 v7, didn't even connect, stuck on gmt.994 initialization.

716kbit/s is close to 1mbit/s no?, plus this is not the attainable upload rate, i just used speedtest.net if i remember correctly, sorry.

Correct me if i'm wrong, if i am, correct the wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.992.5, e.g: ADSL2+: Provider:Amis D:20000 U:768, yes thats real life speeds, so 716 is epic.
Local Upload up to 1 Mbit/s and download speed up to 24 Mbit/s, "up to" is worrying me

Extra: "Saudi Arabia
STC offers ADSL2+ service at maximum of 20 Mbit/s downstream data rate. The service is called Xband Jood and as of 2013 costs SAR 249 per month (approx USD $66/month ). The maximum attainable data rate however depends on the location and is usually less than stated maximum of 20 Mbit/s at most locations." - Wikipedia.


Thanks for the suggestion though.
you are not getting the point, all i said was that the attainable rate on the screenshot should be higher thats all, u are free to believe or not. and yes you can sync at 1Mbps/s upload easily even on Gdmt.. if you read on in that wiki article you would see something like:
24M down 1Mbit/s up annexA in germany,usa,belgium etc...
24M down 3Mbit/s up annexM //

the real life example you provided is from croatia, it's just that they don't want to max your upload,no 716 on adsl isn't epic.
and btw the thomson stuck on initializing is either the April's fool joke, or someone configured it to not sync on ADSL2+, from your replies you clearly showed that you have no idea what are you talking about.. i was giving a suggestion for you to get the 2M from ogero
good luck anyways.

This is a joke.
Some regions still have got no phone boxes.
They just put the responsibility of stopping something on each other.
fiber to home will not happen in lebanon.. it is impossible and even if it did happen in couple decades from now it will be only in beirut or major cities. you need to have a solid across the country fiber backbone, before you start thing about making a ftth project lol

like you said, many areas still have no dsl, they should start improving the dsl network cause that's the closest we will ever be in having a good internet.
Didn't they ocne say that at least the centrals were connected to fiber? I don't think we need fiber to home to exceed the current speeds, I think if at least the main connection points have fiber, and we still have coppers to home, we could have 10 mbps without too much hassle. I don't think all of europe and the US is made out of fiber, and yet you don't find anyone with a 1 mbps connection there anymore...

Then again I am not an expert.
I think our coppers to the home can achieve at least 100mbps,it's cat 5 right?
I was reading about that, high speeds like that are possible if you are 100 meters from the central, but if we want to get down to earth, 10 mbps can be feasible. And if centrals are connected by fibers, I don't see why it cannot be unlimited.

But some repeaters can achieve full speed.
Actually most Europe and USA is still running on copper to the end user fiber to home is only available in major cities. you don't need to be 100 meters from the central to get VDSL speeds, all they have to do is install remote DSLAMS in each region using the existing fiber backbone that connects the centrals, even if they don't upgrade to VDSL remote DSLAMS will guarantee up to 24Mbit/s a good percentage of people. that's how in Europe and US most people can have more than 20Mbit/s.
