51db attenuation should in theory allow about 4mbps connection. But you also have to consider signal quality (SNR).
Note that the SNR will automatically deteriorate when you sync at a higher speed, because you lose some of the error correction capability on the line when you increase the sync bandwidth (more bins/tones used for data)
gamer4life wroteThat's weird, try calling them another time and ask another person.
I did that. They new guy told me that not all centrals were upgraded. A set of centrals is planned to be upgraded today and another set tomorrow. He said that in principle, my line can get 2 mbps but he will ask IDM guys at the central to perform a feasibility test and get back to me tomorrow with a 100% confirmed answer. Si I got hope back :D

If SN is 8 how much it will deteriorate if speed increases from 1 to 2 mbps?
i was just upgraded to 2mbps hahaha :D
kfc wrotei was just upgraded to 2mbps hahaha :D
Congrats man :D
Congrats! You really want your SNR to stay above 10db to leave some room for normal fluctuation due to temperature changes and unavoidable interference.

Edit: Enable bitswapping on your modem if it's not already. It helps prevent disconnects/reconnects (resync) when interference occurs since your signal is marginal

thanks :D. This shows that the customer care arent reliable regarding technical stuff. So how much can we trust what they are telling us regarding the FUP?

Thanks :D SN stayed at 8 although speed doubled!

That's great! Although really 1 or 2 mbps isn't really using that much of ADSL2+ potential (24mbps) to start with :P
90% of the bandwidth is still available for error correction.

But do enable bitswap if it's not already.

From my experience it's only at daytime, because my speed is not above 1.3M today, but yesterday after 8pm it became 2M till today morning.
Btw how are you contacting them? I've been trying from yesterday and the line is always busy. I need to change my plan.

1282 or 04 727733
I tried them always busy...

Edit: They finally answered, he told me that IDM didn't start with the upgrade yet, only quota was added, that's why I'm downloading at 2M speed :P
As for the FUP, it applies at daytime not between 11-7, he told me 11-7 is totally unlimited. He doesn't know the average of GBs that shouldn't be exceeded. And he also mentioned that if I was FUP'd the speed will affect the whole day, even at night.
no FUP during night time? IDM here I come..
And he also mentioned that if I was FUP'd the speed will affect the whole day, even at night.
does that mean FUP lasts 1 day or what? I'm interested in knowing how to avoid it from happening if i plan to switch.
gamer4life wrote As for the FUP, it applies at daytime .
even for plans with a pre-defined quota?

At their website the FUP could be daily or monthly. It depends an average they calculate.

I really forgot to ask, but we were talking about my plan and then I asked about FUP. If it was for just the unlimited plans he would've directly told me it only applies on it.

what about the new plans? did you get to choose any ?
thanks for clarification, so it depends on many unknown factors, best to be safe and download at nights is what i'm deducing thus far.

Did anyone here experience IDM's FUP? how bad is it? what happens to latency and online gaming while you're under FUP?
