A little background, I have a Westell 6100 modem provided by Centurylink that has issues syncing correctly. It randomly resets itself and I have to manually set up a connection to Centurylink on it. Tech support said I need a new one but they didn't want to bill me for one so I still continue to use this one.
Now for my main question. I just recently upgraded from 1Mbps to 6Mbps and reset my modem so it would connect to the new tier, but i'm not sure if its connecting correctly.
My Max speed as said is 6Mbps and my Modem stats are:
Downstream: 3584Kbps Upstream:576
Line Attenuation: 43.0 17.0
Margin: 7.5db 23.0
Transmit Power: 18.7 12.4
Distance to the CO: 3.3Km or 2.05 miles.
Do these stats look correct or should I have a technician look over the lines and replace the modem? I realize distance is a big factor, and thats why i'm not sure what speeds it should connect at. This is my first post on this site so I hope I included all needed info, if not let me know.
PS. Not sure if it makes any difference but there are 2 T1 repeaters between the CO and my house, the closest one is almost exactly a half mile away.
