Hi, At my sisters house in Wanganui and posting this on her behalf.

I note her ADSL with slingshot appears to be slow.... though the modems stats seem to show a healthy download speed.

The modem is a Dynalink RTA1320

Line Mode	G.DMT	Line State	Show Time
Latency Type	Interleave	Line Up Time	00:00:19:21
Line Coding	Trellis On	Line Up Count	1

Statistics	Downstream	Upstream
Line Rate	7616 Kbps	160 Kbps
Attainable Line Rate	8768 Kbps	1152 Kbps
Noise Margin	13.1 dB	31.0 dB
Line Attenuation	38.0 dB	21.5 dB
Output Power	19.8 dBm	-0.6 dBm

How do these stats look? The upstream seems to maybe be a bit crook... But I'm guessing as I don't
know anything about ADSL (I'm a cable man) :)

Can anyone assist?

Cheers,
Grant

This connection seems more like dialup than ADSL!

Looks like she's on the 256/128k plan.

The 160k upstream sync is because she's been provisioned as either a 256k/128k or a FS/128k customer.

THanks.. yes, that seems to make sense... She could get up to 7mbps (according to the modem).
I think she is on a starter or beginner plan... comes with tolls and phone line also for around $70 a month or something..

Ok, so all must be good, I must be too used to faster speeds in Wellington :)

This slax download will take 2 hours 45 mins at this speed. time to cancel :)

ADSL, on the whole, is quite a let down once you've experienced real broadband.

I like how slingshot has the 256k plans. They are cheap, and if i remember right, the caps are high so they are good for families or anyone with teenagers.

The caps were high. The last two generations (the last especially) has really taken a big dump on 256k plans. $30/mth for 2GB?
Before it was removed, the 2Mbps/128k plan was the same price, with the same amount of data!

I remember when $25/mth (or even $30/mth) came with 25GB. Now THAT's a good deal.
