Hi,

Can someone point me in the right direction as to there is a substantial difference between these two connections. The second question would be is Connection B a bad connection ??

First off both are using exactly the same router (Netcomm NB6Plus4Wn)
Connection A is 1.2 km from the exchange, Connection B is 1.3 km from the exchange
Both have master splitters installed.
Both are connected to the Orcon+ Network on exactly the same plan.
A couple of differences is that they are connected to different exchanges and in the case of Connection B it is within an area which has been cabnetised. Connection A has not been cabnetised.

Any ideas why Connection B is syncing at almost half the speed that Connection A is syncing ?? Is a 34dB line attenuation setting ok or is Connection B seeing some feedback from the cabnetisation ??

Cheers for any feedback.
