Hello there

Chorus is near my house working on a cabinet, how long does it take for telecom to 'activate' a roadside cabinet?

thanks

Could be a week, Could be a Month

Depends on how much testing they are going to do when it is complete.

Check the Chorus website and you'll see all the proposed cutover dates and the actual dates when they do cut over.

Sorry, yep, sync has improved immensly!
details from the modem:
DSL Type:    G.992.5 annex A
Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]:    772 / 13,332
Data Transferred (Sent/Received) [kB/kB]:    0,00 / 0,00
Output Power (Up/Down) [dBm]:    12,5 / 0,0
Line Attenuation (Up/Down) [dB]:    6,0 / 13,0
SN Margin (Up/Down) [dB]:    8,5 / 11,5

Previous to this it would sync at 900/1,500 (up/down - kbps) and downstream attenuation was in the mid 40s.

Speedtest results have improved however not as much as I thought it would.

But FEC, CRC and HEC errors seem to be pretty much gone now.

Previous to this I due to the less than average connection I was put on a special profile so I've rung Snap and asked them if this is the reason why speedtest results aren't closer to sync speeds. They indicated that I had been put back to a 'normal' one but we're goning to give turning interleaving off a go to improve VoIP performance (fingers crossed).

Hi, good to see youve had a good result, as for the speedtest, I would put this directly back in snaps corner as you already have.

Yep, pretty happy :) Might as well continue this in the thread I started in the Snap forums.
