Quote from: shellsong Rough rule of thumb - line length in Km equals downstream attenuation in dB divided by 14
Id that rule of thumb applicable to ordinary ADSL?

Really looking for downstream attenuation being in the 60's. The synchronisation speeds for that line you referenced to are pretty decent though, although not *far* off what I would expect to see on ADSL. Given I've seen 63+dB lines getting 1.5Mbps speeds, I imagine 3Mbps on a 58dB should be doable.
Looks promising though.

Also, it's early days yet, but today Be seem to have sorted the high ping problem that's been getting West Yorkshire lads and lassies riled and ruining their gaming - pings are down from 100-500ms to 20-50ms apparently!

I found fastpath was causing line drops and I only had 18db, hows it working out for you shellsong?

When my son was home from Aberystwyth last weekend he was able to ping the Uni at 18ms and his Bytemark server at 8ms and when he was downloading some Linux updates he said they were coming down at 1.8MB/s! (That's Bytes not bits!)
Low pings seem to be very dependent on good peering because the Maidenhead server 10 miles away that speedtest.net reckons is my 'Recommended' one has been known to ping anywhere between 20 and 90ms!

You should have 0/0 FEC errors if you're really on Fastpath though.
I think tracert and maybe ping have low priority on the Be network so it cannot always be relied upon. I see 20ms normally.

Happy Christmas everyone!
My Be connection still seems to be working fine although unfortunately Mr Bigglesworth, my horrible Acer Aspire 1524WLMi laptop, seems to have taken a dislike to being upgraded from Kubuntu Feisty Fawn to Gutsy Gibbon so I've had to drop back to the Feisty kernel and not everything is working quite as it should.
Hopefully when we collect my son at the end of this week from Uni at Aberystwyth for Christmas, he will soon have things optimised and I can get the real benefits of Gutsy, although Mr B is definitely overdue retirement.
Last one out, turn off the Ellacoyas!
Gerry

I ordered a motorised satellite dish kit from Maplins at the beginning of December but something went wrong with the delivery and we've been relying on the internet to get our fix of Dr Who this Christmas (unfortunately we're in a terrestrial blackspot at least until they finish messing around with transmitting both digital and analogue - neither are tolerable with the reduced signal strengths they're using at the moment!)
I'm not particularly taken with the BeBox (a Speedtouch 585 in our case). It works OK most of the time but the WiFi is prone to losing proper connection with our equipment meaning the BeBox has to be rebooted and we've also had to reboot once or twice because it wouldn't pass on DNS requests to the DNS servers.
Quite a few people seem to be using the Netgear DG834GT or N boxes with good results reported. Maybe we'll take that route or try a Billion VoIP router which also seem to have a good rep
