^My DSLAM cause pictures are fun...
Hey peeps, I live in Tucson, AZ in an ex-Qwest market and have been stuck on 20/0.896 for a couple of years now and haven't had much luck doing my usual checking for faster speeds every 6 months or so until today. Called sales today and even though they said they couldn't get me faster download speeds they were able to put in an order for 20/5 service which is a significant improvement for sure. They said it would require a tech visit and a new modem, so I assume it's pair bonded service. Not sure if it would be ADSL2+ instead of VDSL that I'm currently on?
My modem stats are pretty good right now and would handle 40/5 without any issue on a single line, but due to whatever computer generated loop qualification they have, I haven't been able to get anything faster. Really sad considering my LMU (loop makeup) is pretty favorable since it's pretty much a straight run from the DSLAM to my house, even though it's still about 1500ft.
Here's what my modem says now:
xdslctl: ADSL driver and PHY status
Max: Upstream rate = 12774 Kbps, Downstream rate = 69116 Kbps
Bearer: 0, Upstream rate = 896 Kbps, Downstream rate = 26112 Kbps
Link Power State: L0
Mode: VDSL2 Annex A
VDSL2 Profile: Profile 8a
TPS-TC: PTM Mode
Trellis: U:ON /D:ON
Line Status: No Defect
Training Status: Showtime
Down Up
SNR (dB): 25.8 31.0
Attn(dB): 14.0 4.8
Pwr(dBm): 17.0 4.6
40mbps/5mbps is not outside the realm of possibility on my existing single line since the line stats have not changed at all since my service was installed. The DSLAM near my house is an old Qwest fiber-fed, the distribution area only serves 420 LU's and likely isn't oversold since Comcast heavily markets the area, so I highly doubt there is a capacity problem. Hopefully since it requires a tech roll to hook up the 20/5 service I can ask him if hey can fix the provisioning in the system and bump me up to something even better :D
