I had interleaving turned off a few days ago, after my 'fine tuning' thread. Now I'm getting a sync of 8128 and a profile of 7150. I can definitely see the increase in speed when downloading from usenet. But...
Previously my modem showed very few errors in a 24 hour period (shown in parentheses below). Now it shows this after about two days on fastpath:
--> adsl show perf
Downstream :
Noise Margin : 13.5 dB
Attenuation : 1.0 dB
Output Power : 22
Upstream:
Noise Margin : 12.0 dB
Attenuation : 8.0 dB
Output Power : 9
--> adsl show rate
Data Path : Fast
Downstream Bit Rate : 8128 Kbps
Upstream Bit Rate : 448 Kbps
--> adsl show error
Downstream :
FEC : 0 (previously 56)
CRC : 23 (previously 7)
HEC : 23 (previously 7)
Upstream :
FEC : 65532 (previously 2)
CRC : 3 (previously 0)
HEC : 64276 (previously 0)
I think the downstream is still OK (that's not many errors for about 40GB of download in two days) but I'm not so sure about the upstream. Is it a cause for concern and can I do anything about it? I'm currently using an old Solwise SAR715, in bridge configuration, which has always served me well.
Note that I have the modified Clarity NTE5 faceplate and the modem is plugged in right next to it. The network wire goes up the wall cavity to my rack in the loft. There shouldn't be any wiring issues.
Cheers,
Rick.
