RedM Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I need advice on improving my line attenuation and SNR. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 im a telephone engineer but not for BT so a little limited on what they do regarding lines.. The only thing you could do is at the master socket, take it apart and make sure the pairs are well terminated in the amp type screw terminals. Anything past the master socket is BT's responsability which is normally where ATT and SNR come into play. The only other thing is if your running your dsl connection from a extention in the house IE not the master socket the cable could have been damaged or corroded giving a poor signal. Always try the master socket when trouble shooting stuff. If you get a better quality of connection from the master socket rather than an extention, its obviously duff and needs replacing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 You need advice on starting one thread about a subject rather than 46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 You need advice on starting one thread about a subject rather than 46 More chance of someone bothering to look, Mr. Helpful. Rik, I'm plugged directly into the BT test socket. Connection speed has increased by approx. 2000kbps while ATT and SNR has remained the same. Sadly I'm still capped at 1000kbps by BT DSLmax so hopefully that'll increase in a few days. I need to up my SNR by about 10db and can't find anyway of doing so.

RedM Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 check out adslguide.org.uk Been there, done that. Do you think the mkiv forum would be my first port of call for this kind of info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh sorry - perhaps next time you have a supra related problem try the telecoms forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom S Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Anything past the master socket is BT's responsability which is normally where ATT and SNR come into play. I think you will find that is Openreach who are responsible. !! Martin, Pm'd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only thing you can really do is get in touch with BT and try to get them to take you seriously If all connections are OK up to the NTE then you can not do too much at all.

Ofcom requested that Openreach be seperate to ensure all telco's are treated fairly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I am having the same problem on my line. Get so many faults with my broadband due to a poor noise margin on my line, drops to 4db, apparently should be higher than 12db to be stable. BT are coming in tomorrow to see what they can do with it. Will let you know what they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BT are coming in tomorrow to see what they can do with it. Will let you know what they say. I'm lucky in that my router, Netgear DG834, is known for it's ability to hang onto a connection. I've had 0db many times recently and it's stayed up. Then again, I've had a perfectly healthy (for me) 14db disconnect in an instant.

Steve Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I have the same router. Most of the time it hangs on to the connection. However because of the poor noise signal web pages can take forever to open as it loses data packets. Or so i have been told....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Unfortunately am with Sky, but not there MAX packages yet, so still go through BT's gear. Exchange should be updated with Sky's LLU Gear in the next couple of months. Will probably change ISP when the 12 months expires unless they sort themselves out. Customer service is useless.
