Hi,
I've got CenturyLink DSL in my home that was installed a year and a half ago. I"m happy with CenturyLink; everything's been fine until about a month ago.
Four different Speedtest sites show I"m getting 5 to 7 Mbps. The DD-WRT router says the same thing, . One in a great while it will hit 10 meg, but it runs around 5 most of the time. I don't expect 12Mbs constantly, but I'm barely getting half the speed I'm paying for.
I"ve checked all the wiring and connections, rebooted & reset all equipment multiple times, unplugged modem for two hours to get new IP... no joy. Tried different phone jacks.. no joy. Tried new cables.. no joy.
I"m going to call Tech support soon, but I suspect they will run through the basic restart/reboot thing and then send a tech out.. and I"d bet serious money that the tech will show up, make a few tests on his laptop and announce the problem is in my house phone wiring.
Question- is there any way to test my home phone wiring before the tech gets here? Check the resistance or something? And if there are no tests that can prove or eliminate it, how can the tech determine problem is in the wiring?
Anything else I can try?
Equipment: Netgear DM111PSP v2 modem, WRT54G v2 router running WRT-DD v.24 sp2 with Cat6 direct to Macbook pro 2.4Ghz Intel Core2, 4GB Ram running OSX 10.6.8. Also iMac 2.75Ghz running 10.7.5 and an iPad ver1. Same modem & router has been fine for 2.5. years.
