Sync speed much lower than router expected since upgrade

Hi,

 

Just over a week ago our internet was upgraded from 40/10 to 80/20 and the router in syncing at ~55Mb. As seen from the router stats page below the router estimates that we can sync at ~65Mb, are plusnet able to do some magic and get the router to sync at a higher rate. I rebooted the router this morning to see if it would sync at the higher rate but no luck

any help/suggestions appreciated, if plusnet needs to disconnect the router for it to sync at the higher speed, please go ahead and do this.

 

Thanks


Darren

@Dahnak 

Your Noise Margin is still at 6 dB. This is where it will have been set when your service was upgraded. If your line will support a higher speed without too many errors then the noise margin should reduce and your speed improve, but you must give it a few weeks. The most important thing is for you NOT to reboot the router as this can be interpreted by the DLM as a line drop and the noise margin may remain where it is.

Re: Sync speed much lower than router expected since upgrade

Thanks for getting in touch @Dahnak

I've tested your line and I can't see any cause for this.

Your current profile is "Downstream: 0.128M-80M with Interleaving (Low). Upstream: 0.128M-20M with no error protection" so there are no restrictions at this moment in time. In addition, going down to a 3db target may not make a massive improvement to your speeds.

Have you tried connecting to the test socket as explained here to see if that gives an increase?

@Baldrick1 @MatthewWheeler sorry for the delay getting back, I took @Baldrick1 advice and left the router alone, the system had changed my noise level to 6db and i have received a big speed increase Smiley
