The Telstra policy is to let the copper rot as they have to share access to it with their competitors.Wedgie wrote:I have similar issues but it's the phone line thats the problem. Telstra are useless as tits on a boar pig too, they've come out twice, fiddled around in a hole across the road and leave a card telling me everything is fixed when nothing has changed.

I'm having some similar problems with my cable system.smac wrote:One way to test exactly what is the problem would be to connect a computer with a cable to the modem and see if that drops out. If not, then it is likely the wireless signal from your modem. If it does drop out then it is the modem itself or the incoming line.

ok a little bit of background. I had ADSL1 through netspace and it was slow, i finally upgraded to ADSL2 (corromandel exchange) through adam internet.. Originally it was all good and i was getting good bandwidth speed. watching iview, youtube etc was great.
Over the last few weeks i have had probs streaming. I checked my bandwidth download bit speed. I am getting only 800 through my laptop wireless and 1200 bits through my PC. Adam Internet, said its nothing to do with their connection??? It's been like this for a good two weeks or so. Adam has refused to help. How or why is my speed so slow on ADSL2? i am trying to learn about all this. Is adam af fault here? How can I improve my speed again?
cheers guys.

Need more info.
And I really doubt Adam refused to help. I know a lot of their CSO's
Copper can degrade over time however.
Some questions:
What performance profile are you on? Have you change it at some point? (its in your members area - View Performance Profile)
What speed were you syncing at? What are you syncing at now? (its in your members area - View Performance Profile)
Have you checked your cabling? How much cable goes from your wall to your modem? Can you shorten it?
Have you unplugged your phone? Have you changed your filter? Is there more than one phone in the house?

just an example of my inconsistant speed, checking at 1/4 time (for those who give s**T) is 0.4 (400kbps) according to the test on iview - http://www.abc.net.au/iview/

I have 2 cordless phones at home and YES have unplugged them lately (about two weeks ago) when i changed phones...? speed really seems to vary sometimes its fast enough, other times its dropped right down.
cheers

Ok, first thing, make sure an ADSL filter is put on both those connections to your phones. It probably isn't that, but it might help.
2nd thing. Get a shorter cable to your modem if you can, only get it as long as you need it. 20m of cable bundled up will definitely cause problems. Less cabling the better.

It will tell you how far you are from the exchange.
