Has the line been very unstable at any point?

With stats like that I would have thought you'd been connecting at the full 8128kbps (or whatever the top speed is) with a slightly lower SNR instead of having a SNR that high with a slightly lower sync rate.

 

those are some nice stats Jimbo, if you were on adsl2+ you certainly will get 22 megs

 

Your SNR is set to 15dB for some reason, your line should easily be able to take the full 8128 sync... perhaps speak to Nildram?

 

Ask Nildram to lower your SNR Target back to default (6dB).

 

SNR margin isn't the be-all and end-all. He might have had some large noise spikes which knocked the line down causing the BRAS system to raise the sync rate.

 

Where does it say you are interleaved?

 

Unfortunately Netgear routers don't state whether the line is interleaved or not. However, 7616kbps is the maximum sync rate possible for a line with interleaving enabled so I would assume that interleaving is the cause.

 

Or more accurately, it's possible that all the disconnections have made the DLM up the target SNR margin (as suggested) and/or switch interleaving on.
Nothing to do with raising (!) the synch rate, or noise spikes.

 

Do you have to request to be transfered onto ADSL Mxax with Nildram. One of my clients uses them, they are already on the Broadband 2 package, but only get 1mbps. Should I get them to ring and ask to be migrated onto ADSL Max

Thanks

It's possible to tell if your interleaved on a netgear router by telneting it, google "Telnet Netgear"

 

Certainly is, I forgot about the debug mode

Enter this from a browser - obviously replacing the IP with whatever yours is set to:

http://192.168.0.1/setup.cgi?todo=debug

Then open up a command prompt and do a telnet 192.168.0.1 (or whatever the IP is, of course).

Finally, issue the command:

adslctl info --stats

The 2nd line will say either fast or interleave, depending on the line obviously.

 

If that command line doesn't work try this:
cat proc/avalanche/avsar_modem_stats
it all depends what router your using.

 

i have a speedtouch 510 v4 can i use telnet to see if im interleaved?
if so how? (sorry for hijacking)

*edit*
found it its telnet 10.0.0.138 (username and pass) and then adsl info tells all
mine is set to fast

connected at
Maximum stable rate 7392Kbps
Line speed 7392Kbps
Fault threshold 5152Kbps

even tho BT calc said max of 3mb
so more than happy

 

Yes you are interleaved.

If you are still in the 10 day initial period I wouldn't be inclined to tinker with things too much.

You can request Nildram to force interleaving to 'off' but they will make a small admin charge for doing it.

You must have had some noise or errors on the line at some point though or interleaving would not have been turned on in the first place.
