Hi, I'm getting the Virgin Media 50Mb service soon, but want to do some testing of my existing 20Mb service to monitor the difference and performance of the new service.

Are these ntl250 (blue) modem results ok?

Should the OP be ecstatic with the lowish SNR?

If he is happy with the connection at the moment then lowish SNR is of no consequence otherwise 50Mb would not be on order.;)

WOW my 6000th post on this forum.:D:D:D

29db is a workable value for downstream SNR, with 34 to 36 being preferable.

WOW my first time telling Moldova he obviously spams to much to average Posts Per Day: 16.98 :p:
