hmm i have a chipset serialnumber - did you and blank it out?

i think it's probably just a different firmware on the linecard or such. maybe to do with the 998 change? i'm still on 997...

i reckon you'd be close to 100/50 if you get stuck on 17a. i don't understand why you're not on 17a :)

your power is amazingly low, i bet they reduced the power on the connection because it was doing well.

oh what, that's 17a? it looks like 8b :) 8b has 18.5 and 13.5 dbm for power i think. so often lines will start on the faster sync rate, then immediately resync to a slower sync rate. i think 17a is normally 14.5, but i dunno everything is changing.

i have seen 10.5dBm pretty commonly on 17a.

ahh i didn't realise it was being culled so much. but 8b seems to be culled a bit too - 20.5dbm should be max transmit power on 8b, and 14.5dbm on 17a, 30a. (not that we have 30a here)

The really rubbish thing is this is in a pharmacy and the most strenuous work this connection will do is run a few VoIP calls...

it's nice to have decent speeds everywhere even if they're not doing anything heavy :)

yep, like i said i have exactly the same stats bar the speed when i was on 53mbps to what i am on now. The line has been as high as 66mbps but that was with a snr of 3, which lasted 3 weeks, i have an ups and connected during a power cut :).

not sure what is up. its capable of more it just wont do more though. there is next to zero errors on the line, about 5 per Day.

hio77: @seatil and @cruxis

I would love to see both your DSL Overview tabs to compare!

Your wish - my command. Have included new Spectrum and DSL tab images too as DLM happened overnight (INP from 0->1, only visible on upstream due to the downstream override I put in place two days ago).

I haven't been following 998 too closely since UFB was supposed to go live in our street in Nov, but they've now pushed it back by a month and I suppose it might slip more, so I'm interested again! :)

A couple of questions; apologies may have been covered but 17 pages... ;-)

* It seems quite a few more people now have 998, what's the current list of areas\suburbs we know it's active in?

* Some people are showing 100/50 for Max DSLAM throughput and others 70/30 - is that based on the DSLAM card you're connected to or something else?

Seems to be scattered a bit, but there seems to be a bit of migrations happening again, so I suspect more and more will come online.

adsl info --vendor on broadcom modems (some use xdslcmd) - if it's ikns it's 70/30, broadcom 100/50, or on fritzbox it shows easily. dslam card yes.

I can confirm still holding steady at 30/10 here in Glenfield/Bayview area on Auckland's North Shore. No upgrade here yet.

remuera, auckland here - no upgrade but a nice hungry line waiting to fly :P

Downstream
SNR Margin (0.1dB): 11.9
Attenuation (0.1dB): 1.0
Output Power (dBm): -9.9
Attainable Rate (Kbps): 44048
Rate (Kbps): 41270

it's pretty decent at the moment and i get 34-36mbit down on speedtest.net over my wifi

most likely ikns card - if you were on broadcom i wouldn't be surprised if it was higher :)

I just checked mine, its changed! :D

Up to 62.1Mb/s downoad from 34.5Mb/s before, upload has stayed the same at 10.6Mb/s however.

I'm also located in Cashmere, Christchurch.

here's some stats for those interested:

Downstream line rate (kbit/s) 62188
Upstream line rate (kbit/s) 10621
Downstream SNR (dB) 6.4
Upstream SNR (dB) 8.6
Downstream line attenuation (dB) 12
Upstream line attenuation (dB) 3.9

edit: I'm assuming it has something to do with 998 anyway, I mean how else would you explain that ~30Mb jump :p (please don't let it be some one-off DLM thing *fingers crossed*)
