Hi,

I was just wondering if there is any way to squeeze any more speed out of my ADSL2+ connection. I am on the Orcon Unlimited plan. I sync at 14.9/1, I have an attenuation of 23.5dB and my SNR Margin is 9.1dB. According to my attenuation my line length is 1.7km although I live 800m away from the exchange by road. Please let me know if there is any way to get any more speed.

Thanks.

Yep, got one installed and improved it quite a bit.

well then you have the same options as me:

1) move closer
2) bribe Chorus to upgrade your area
3) rewire your whole connection back to the cabinet/exchange with new cable/fibre and see how Chorus feel about their free upgrade
4) SOOL - cry (though as I'm on just-about-ONE-Mb and youre more than 10 times that, maybe not an option for you)
