SLED Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I'm with Adam as well Andrew with this result........big difference in Ping speed, what's that all about? I upped the ante to Aggressive mode (ADSL2+) and it upped the ping rate slightly but dropped the download rate..........maybe time of day??

SLED Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 hmmm, I upped the ante again to Adventurous mode and this is what I get now......I'm confused Joel, why the yoyo effect??

Cubes Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 The ping will vary - 2ms is nothing. Distance from the exchange. My own service connects at a slower speed when connecting with ADSL2+ compared to ADSL1. However connecting as plain old ADSL2 (without the +) it connects at its fastest. What you need to do if your modem supports it is place your self on an ADSL2+ standard type profile that aims for an SNR of around 9-10 and then force the modem to connect 'only' in ADSL2 mode. Doing so will generally provide the quickest connection at a longer line length.

Nightcrawler Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 bizarrely while my ADSL1+ gets a MAX of 4.5Mb/s on speedtest, sometimes I get download speeds as fast as 600kb/s in UTorrent, when downloading multiple torrents from a good source (like tvtorrents private tracker). I am not sure how I get such good speeds sometimes - yet have NEVER downloaded from the 'normal' internet (even direct from Adam or a pipe) at that 600kb/s.

Cubes Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 The speed tests are a reasonable indicator but the best method is to download a file from your ISPs mirror. Represents the speed of your actual connection not the jumps and hops between your ISP and the destination.

Ignorance is bliss. All bets you are on the ADSL2+ Very High Reliability Profile and haven't changed it since day one. Double check to ensure all devices connected to your phone line are filtered. The modem doesn't require a filter. Run a <3m telephone cable.

Cubes Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 ADSL2+ Standard. Then tweak the modem depending on your distance from the exchange via coding gain and the connect mode.

Mayuri Krab Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 (edited) Thats quick, dies anyone still use dail up, they were the good old day take a week to down load a pic of a car!! Now now, before I had ADSL (still on 1, no 2+ here ), I used to download several gigs of anime & movies using good old dial up. It does take several days or weeks for the 700mbs, & people can't call the house (which isn't really a bad thing, considering all that telemarketing crap I get everyday).
