Can I get 2Meg with these figures?

Hi,

Are these figures likely to allow me to get 2MBit connection?

ADSL Link : Downstream : Upstream

Connection Speed 1152kbps 288kbps
Line Attenuation 46db 12.5db
Noise Margin 21db 28db

Thanks Dave

its the checker that decides. The attenuation is too high for current
BT 2M product but the checker may think its OK - it would work.

Sorry to appear dim BUT how do you obtain these figures ?
I just get message on the BT info page to say I can may be get ADSL at
512 or 256 and an engineer may be required due to line length.
I can see the exchange from my house its in centre of 4miles away but
the line is 6.4 miles I have been getting 450 cps on the PLUSNET speed
tester but it has fallen lower than this 390 some times this past month
Regards and sorry if I have intruded
UNHAPPY BUNNIE

Hi Dave,

Unfortunately your attenuation of 46dB is just outside BT's limit of
43dB for a 2mbps service.

Sorry :/

Various routers will display this info. USB modems might show
it too, but everything depends on the equipment you are using.

http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/frogstats.htm may help you out
(not my site, but also, not limited to the Alcatel 'frog')

Yes. The limit is 45dBm /without/ ADSL on the line. Take off ADSL from
your line and your atten is around 40/41 dBm.

Also, my friends line atten is 49dBm and they have 2mbit no problems.

So, place the order and find out

That's not true, is it? If you go with a decent ISP, they will put
through a manual order with BT and /force/ them to physically go out and
check your line (ie, try and complete the order) for 2mbit quality.

Hi James,

Is it 43dBm? Thought it was 45? Either way, i reckon they'd connect
him.

Oh, to add to that - my line atten is 45dbm and i have 2mbit, no
problems (with Zen).

His SNR will still be around 14 if he gets upgraded to 2Mb so should work
flawlessly. However his attenuation is slightly above BT's conservative
limits so he might have a problem getting them to upgrade to 2Mb. Might have
to request a manual order.
