Max Problem

I've got a problem with my new Max service wherby after about 30 days now
the speed up and down changes each time I login.

I contacted my ISP and they have performed this check saying nothing is
wrong at their end:-

I had no problems before I switched to Max - I had a constant 950Kb down and
about 180Kb up

In a nutshell what does this all mean. What should my linespeed be up and
down and why could it be changing each time I login??

It looks from the extract above as if your router can sync to the exchange
at speeds up to 4000 kbps, while data currently seems limited to 1152.
You had a fairly low loss on upstream, so I expect you to see 448 kbps.

The MSR is probably a reason for not seeing faster data rates if you run
any 'speed test', BICBW.

I would expect connect speed to change each time (mine certainly does, and
at any time it could be as high as 8128 but has been down as low as 74xx)
and will depend on the noise etc at the instant when the router gets into
sync with the exchange, so even at the same time each day it may get
different speeds on different days.

Change to DSL Max the way I did: switch ISP <http://www.dslmax.info/>

Because every time you log in the SNR will vary slightly, simple as
that. If I reboot my router now, seeing as there aren't any
electrical storms around (although there is an apparent 'lift' on
certain frequencies) my SNR will be better than it was when I rebooted
(as suggested by PN support) around 21:00 last night so my speed will
be slightly faster than it has been since I rebooted last night.

4M on a fairly long line.

its a rate adaptive product. Are you using a USB modem ? A router would
sit on the line at a more consistent speed but could still vary.

Probably best on a fixed 2M serivice.

It is a USB Modem. I thought from all the info' on Max that once the
training period was over that you had more or less a fixed speed, but at the
maximum your line could handle........I didn't realise it still varies.

Thanks everyone.

Yep it will go up & down & just wait for the electrical storms,
they'll certainly knock you for six. It's not your Loop loss which is
important here but your SNR, unfortunately your machine doesn't appear
to be able to offer you any stats about that.

but sadly outside the spec for 2M fixed.

May be possible to get a MAXDsl of 2Mb though...
