RE: [OT]ish Any ADSL MAx users on long-ish lines

["Neil Ball" <neilball@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have 57db attenuation and am now successfully achieving around 2.5M
with
around 8-9db SNR. I did have a problem at first with regular dropouts
because the SNR was falling too low but playing with some of the settings
(discussed at length on the Draytek forums) has got my 2800G rock solid.



If you only have a 10db SNR at 512k then I would not think you will achieve
too much higher without disconnections using your Vigor which will be why
BT
are refusing to budge. That said, at least with a ADSLmax you will find the
threshold and know for certain that is as much as you'll get.

HI, I had an ADSL outage for a week last month - as a result BT downgraded
my line to 512k (caused much shouting) and now refuse to connect it back to
1 meg. I had a successful 1 meg service for the previous 18 months, so even
though my line is borderline (60db attn and SNR of 10db) I am reasonably
sure my line can support 1Mg reliably. Would ADSL max help? Is it possible
for a user to re-try the line grading (even if it causes a temp disruption
to service)? Do I have anything to lose?

Anyone on the list using it with close to 60db line loss. Naturally I am
using the list-standard Vigor2600 as my router.

Frustrated Tim.
