Hi to all..

6 days ago I got VDSL, tech came and made sure that I could get
vdsl, download was 29 down 2 up, so went ahead and did the
wiring with a master filter..
Since the upgrade I can only get between 2mb and 3.5md down..
I did a speed test on Sparks web site and I get 25mb down
and nothing up..

The modem is a Spark supplied Huawei630b modem, this is on
a new 12 month contract, hope this helps..

Here are my stats..

Connection Status

DSL synchronization status Up
DSL up time 07:00:48

Line Status

Line standard VDSL2
Downstream line rate (kbit/s) 28355
Upstream line rate (kbit/s) 928
Downstream SNR (dB) 9.1
Upstream SNR (dB) 10
Downstream line attenuation (dB) 27
Upstream line attenuation (dB) 12.8
Downstream output power (dBmV) 16.8
Upstream output power (dBmV) 9.1
Downstream CRC 253
Upstream CRC 3
Downstream FEC 0
Upstream FEC

I look foeward to any help..

DSL up time 07:00:48

Stop turning your modem off each night.

VDSL needs to be left powered on 24/7.

Err, sounds like you're confusing Megabit with Megabyte?

28 Megabit/s = ~3.5 Megabyte/s down so this is normal

Upstream sync looks pretty horrible considering downstream sync, or is that now normal with the change to 998 bandplan? But yeah as above sounds like you may have your bits and bytes confused?

It happens :) I'd still do a bit of research on whether that upstream sync is right though... I thought even after the 998 upgrade that the upstream channels were pretty well spread, so I wouldn't think it should be quite that low. (@hio77?)

There is actually less upstream bandwidth overall. Particularly for 8b lines.

US0 should cover Around about the upstream of ADSL (as its actually the same band).

for a 27dB line in a urban enviroment, your stats look about right - given the upstream could be healthier.

How was the master filter wiring done? cat5e to your jackpoint?

in terms of your speedtest results itself, that sounds right on point.

https://www.speedtest.net/ this a run and post the results.

Hi again, The Tech said he put Cat6 to the modem jack..

Here is the result of my speed test..

Ping 21ms

Download Speed 25.51Mbps

Upload Speed 0.9Mbps

Hope this helps..

Perfect, for the line stats you posted above that is near exact what i would expect.

Bit sad on the upstream, but sounds like things are in the best state possible.

end of the day, you have probably gained 10mbit being on vdsl!

Thanks for that..

One more question, what do you think a file download speed would be, roughly..

Thanks again..

If you mean what will your MBps speed be, then you simply divide your Mbps speed by 8.

So with your reported speedtest of 25.5Mbps you should be seeing files download at around 3.2MBps.

Is that what you were asking?
