I just moved and CenturyLink (legacy Qwest) is currently the only option at my new house. After a little confusion from the tech (the house has the NID in the basement and it is not visible from the outside), everything is up and working.
CL shipped a C1100Z which is reporting 5.120/0.888 Mbps using VDSL2 on an estimated loop length of 7080 feet with uncanceled echo of "-228" (no units in the UI). This is distance estimation probably a little short of reality; the tech's test device showed about 10,000 feet which is the distance to the remote following the roads.
Downstream has 7.1dB SNR, 13.4 dB Attenuation, and 13.3 dBm Power. Upstream is 6.8dB SNR, 10.8 dB Attenuation, and 10.5 dBm Power. Both are interleaved channels.
Is there any hope of getting better speeds on this line or is this just what I get for moving to a semi-rural area? Even an upstream increase would make things much better, as doing video calls on 0.9Mbs is a little hard.
