Upload speed

Hi,
My adsl upload is speed testing at 0.75 Mbps. I notice from some forum posts that there is an upload speed cap in place by default on user accounts.
Could you tell me if this cap is in place on my line?
If it is in place, I would be grateful if you could remove it.

Re: Upload speed

If your upload is capped it'll generally sync at 448, if it's already above this then it's likely to be uncapped. Your line is currently syncing at 888, with interleaving on. If it's not causing you any issues then it's probably worth leaving it as is.

Re: Upload speed

I'm working on a project which requires slightly more upload bandwidth than I currently have. Could anything be done to try and increase it?
Interleaving was recently switched on to prevent repeated connection loss (and seems to have worked) so I suspect that ought to stay on.

Re: Upload speed

Upstream capping/banding and interleaving can be confusing - you may wish to read posts #257 to #284.of the following, although I must warn you I am still somewhat confused about it :
http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,133845.msg1211160.html#msg1211160
For the record, my ADSL2+ connection has been synched at an upstream rate of 1203kpbs for a month now, with no interleaving and a target SNRM of 6dB, although I'm not able to advise you whether yours would also reliably support those sort of parameters - perhaps someone from CRT can.

Re: Upload speed

That's actually a pretty good rate with interleaving left on. And I wouldn't recommend taking it back off again to improve upload speeds.
If you fancy being drastic, I notice that fibre is available in your area which would drastically improve things with an estimated upload speed of 14.1mbps.
Let me know what you reckon.
