1) Same here, but doesn't disconnect as much as my snr margin is pretty healthy during the day near 14 (but speed sucks). My max attainable speed effectively doubled when I used an external Cat6 cable. What can be done---make sure that there is an emi filter on the elevator and hopefully your building is also grounded for max efficiency (used to be $1000-$1200 for the filter, now who knows). In my building, there is also a water pump. That reduces my max attainable by some 40% too and disconnects me when if first starts.Kareem wroteOk so I'm officially joining the elevator drama club. I am stuck with three types of interference and I am not able to solve any at the moment.
Every since I switched to VDSL, the line quality has become more and more sensitive which is expected.
I have a CAT6 cable ONLY going from the box to the VDSL modem. It's an external line in a shaft with no cable however the shaft is right beside the elevator room so there's a 20 cm wall block and 4 meters void between my cable and the lift.
What I'm struggling with :
1- Any time the elevator is used, my SNRM drops 5dB. The modem won't disconnect unless it's going through more than 5 floors.
2- My Attainable rate is 30% lower everynight after 10:30 PM until 7:30 AM ( give or take ) and I have no clue.
3- My last interference is certainly not from our building. When electricity goes, my downstream rate goes 4-5 Mbps up. Even when the generator kicks in but then a minute later or so it will go down again.
Any solution for the elevator thing? my 2nd issue is also very difficult to trace; as for the 3rd one I'm positive that it's nothing to do with our building but go convince Ogero.
Ironically my neighbors also reported random disconnections from Ogero during the day mainly and they're on ADSL but not everyone cares.
2) I have a similar issue and I am pretty sure it is the building lights. I noticed one day that the natour did not turn off the lights pretty late (11ish am) and I was getting the same reduction in speed. When I came back, lights were off and my speed was back to normal.
3) This could be anything---a fridge or AC starting up and it doesn't need to be in your apartment. Maybe someone has a voltage stabilizer somewhere near the telephone lines down in the electricity room.
Frustrating to find these things out as proper grounding would take out a lot of these issues at the beginning.
