View Full Version : 10mb Line is going insane.

Right, first of all, I've had the 10mb line for about 2 years now, for nearly all of those 2 years, speedtest.net has reported about 9.8mb/s download speed, and my download manager reported at least 9.5mb/s+.
However, now, the downloads never go faster than 8mb/s, and speedtest.net results vary from 1mb/s to 600mb/s. This is the same with most speed testing places I go to. While realworld speeds are between 6 and 8mbps.
Anyone have any ideas as to why?

Can you post power levels for upstream and downstream
192.168.100.1 root / root

Downstream Receive Power Level : 11.1 dBmV
Downstream SNR : 41.1 dB
Upstream transmit Power Level : 35.0 dBmV

Downstream is too high. You need a tech to fix it.
Im having similar difficulties with mine and was going to call virgin to get a engineer out:
Downstream Receive Power Level - 5.8 dBmV
Downstream SNR : 40.9 dB
Upstream transmit Power Level : 44.5 dBmV
Anyone any ideas?

Downstream power level's too low. Again the tech is required.
What sort of level should it be?
Cheers for the quick reply :)

+/- 5dBmV is the "reliable operating range" but closest to 0 is best and most stable, and some areas are more sensitive to this than others.
Mines been slow now for weeks :( speeds vary from 0.5m to 2.5ish
Ill just call em up and see what they say

Thanks everyone for clearing this up. Quick question though, When calling virgin media, how do I go about getting an engineer out without jumping through the normal hoops?
I tried calling before for a similar problem, but the typical "Reset the router" and such took so long. Is a way anyone recommends to skip the hassle? or at least move to a level 2 engie?

+/- 5dBmV is the "reliable operating range" but closest to 0 is best and most stable, and some areas are more sensitive to this than others.
Hmm +/-8dBmV is very comfortable, and modems can work to +/-15dBmV, both conditional on SNR which in semps' case is very good.
Managed to try another speed test this morning, and straight up to 9.8m :(
Anything I can do about this?
