Line Stats

[el-ahrairah]

Hi Adrian.

Basically just come to the conclusion that i'm stuck with what i have.. They have done tests on my line and come back with no errors.. So they said it is mearly a difference in line length and the path my line must take that is the difference between the two lines.. They have said that most the lines down my street are 40+db and that my sisters line is rather unique and she's just very lucky..

So i guess a stable 8mb is my limitation.. And i can just about eek out an almost stable 9mb upto about 1am in morning, then usually the SNR is too low and gives way and drops my speed to a lower level...

Shame Karoo/KC wont make Hull the new place to be for internet, it would be easier for them to do so with us being a unique one ISP town.. But i guess Karoo/KC wont change unless something major and something which can make them see lots of profits comes along..

Regards
Michael

ADSL2 the best we'd get would be 4.5mb, and I get 4mb on ADSL... I'd kill for 8mb!!! I feel your pain though, it is a shame but with that said I can't help but hope they will invest in the weaker (broadband) areas of the city at some point.

Yea would be nice to know what that huge sum of money has been spent on Surely £2.75m gets more than a few core routers and some bandwidth these days

Hmmm i'm sure karoo can come up with some explanation as to where all that money has gone.. Just seems silly trying to strain these copper lines when its obvious the future is going to be a digital world, so inevitably its something karoo will have to do at some point (bite the bullet as it where).. So why not do it now eh?

@richardmyers..

I know i seem petty and i sympathise inn your case and with your speed.. I just think knowing that a few doors away theres someone with 37.5db whilst i have the 44.5db.. Just annoys me a little that i'm not the one with the 37.5db hehe, Guess you could say i'm a little envious..

Btw anyone who lives (Newstead street, Wharncliffe street, Selkirk Street or those surrounding streets) Please can you post your line stats, just want to get an idea as to just how lucky my sis is living in this area and having a much better attenuation..

Would be much appreciated to anyone who posts
