Kareem wrote5.8 dB is rarely stable unless you're 200m from the CO and that will still give you random disconnects every few hours.
It all depends on the modem anyway but anything lower than 6-7 dB and you're asking for troubles. Normally it should be be 10dB and that's the default on many modems and profiles ( 12dB if your attenuation is high ) so your modem going down to 5.8 dB without disconnecting is surprisingly strange.
As far as I know, the DSLAM will monitor for error rates / disconnections in a given period and increase the SNR margin by 3dB in case of instability.... This is how it goes.
Well, I would say I'm less than 100m far from the CO, but no disconnections till now, the SNR margin is hovering between 5.8-6.4 db which I think is average, I'm not sure.
I have a VR-400. Before the uncap it was set to 12db.
Yeah I see some errors(pckts) in download and upload, which increase for about 5000 for download (idk that's really important). What do you think about that?
I will post my Line Stats later when I get back home.
