    Just got it installed this morning, happy enough but do ye think I could get any more out of it? Is there any chance of getting eircom to up me to 70mb?

    Ah jaysus, how much do you want? I'm getting between 44 and 46 and I'm delighted with that. A few long months with sky bb would make you appreciate decent reliable bb.

    Haha I know I know but I want as much as I can possibly get, you can never have enough :D

    look at screenshots in first page of this topic, you'll easily figure it out yourself.

    Mine is being limited to 50MBps. Am i right in thinking it should be able to handle 70/20? Eircom won't even listen to me...

    It should be able to handle 70/20 but only once 'vectoring' is rolled out and enabled which will hopefully be in Q1 next year. Until then you will have to do with 50/10...because that is super slow :)

    My line stats are good and i'm close to the cabinet, i still think eircom has put me on the 50MB profile when i could handle more.

    I've been paying €50 a month for the last year for 1MB bb which kept dropping, i just want to get all i paid for now since my line can handle it.

    Pulling down really nice speeds on the laptop's wireless connection. Consistently getting close to the 70mbps limit, particularly in the evenings. Ping could be a bit better but that seems to fluctuate anywhere between 15 and 60.

    16.1 dB attenuation says your line length is around 1600+M be thankful you get the speed you do others with attenuation like that arnt as lucky

    your getting more then yu should be

    The box is across the road, about 200 m away. No idea why Eircom ran the line for 1.6km, bit of a waste of copper.

    across the road it may be, but from sound of it cables dont run to that one

    just like my closest is 600m away yet im connected to one 1000m away as thats the direction my lines run

    Eircom man went to that one when he was connecting me to eFibre. I could see him working from an upstairs window. No other box for miles (i live in the sticks).

    Blah blah attenuation per km of copper, blah blah maths, blah blah distance.

    There is a site for calculating it but according to that i should be on much lower speeds plus my net max speed should be way lower.

    Of more interest is my signal to noise ratio, mine is very high.

    It's no longer just copper now though.....
    Link for the site?

    I'm about 190m from my cabinet as the crow flies.

    So by that logic, 19.0dB Attenuation - the copper goes 1.9KM around the place before getting to my house?

    Not my logic. Site is here http://www.speedguide.net/dsl_speed_calc.php

    19dB shows 1.4km according to that site. I think SNR margin is more important. Plus your attainable data rate is a lot lower than what my line is capable of, that's why i should be able to get 20/70. Technically you could get 15/50.

    That might be correct from this online tool which I'm guessing your basing your info from, but your using the 'default' cable loss.
    Now lets say Eircom have used cheap/crappy cable in the past 10~ years to save money and the cable loss instead of being 13.81 dB/km is now around 20~22 dB/km.

    The change from 13dB loss to 22dB loss is massive. Every 3dB (or 6 depending on whats being calculated) is double the loss. That's 3x the loss for cheaper wire, bloody massive.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,279 ✭✭✭KeRbDoG


    True, suppose my point isn't to use the default cable dB loss to calc cable distance

    So this is what I am getting on an Eircom E-Fibre Wired Connection? How does this fair? Should I be getting more. I had some problems initially but it seems to have settled down, though wifi connections is up and down and somwhere around the low 20s it seems

    You should be getting about 48Mb/s on the Speedtest result. You're pretty close to the cabinet judging from your attainable net data rate.

    Are you subscribed to Eircom's eVision?

    Hi,
    No not subscribed to evision.
    I did approx 10 speedtests one after the other last night (wired) and got varying download speeds from 23mb to 48mb. Would there be any reason for the wild fluctuations?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 847 ✭✭✭Bog Standard User


    Hello all,

    I thought it would be benificial for us to build a database of VDSL line stats and speeds we are obtaining.

    I think it could help some people establish if their lines are of poor quality and try and get something done about it.

    Its also a bit of fun if you are into that kind of thing.

    For the sake of keeping things tidy I propose we could set out the data as follows. I will use a real site I look after as an example and will be adding more when I get time.

    7ugkiZv.jpg
    2775469701.png2775473005.png2775476037.png

    Approximate distance to Cabinet = 700 - 800 Meters
    Connection to the Modem = 50cm Cat6 (single pair used) from line point of entry into building to NTU.


    Using http://www.speedguide.net/dsl_speed_calc.php as a rough guide my line stats suggest I am 1484 Meters away from the cabinet......

    I think there is something wrong with the line somewhere.

    its not line of sight distance to cab the cables run along roads. 1484 m from cable would suggest best speeds are 12mb/1mb to 15mb/3mb

    if your are getting 23mb/6mb your profile is set at 25mb/7mb (800m is about right for 25mb/7mb)

    tests done over wifi are invalid tests because the wifi speed varies during the test and distorts the test result. also wireless g devices will slow down over all wifi speeds to at best 25mb. wireless n devices rarely get better than 45mb.

    Could be due to a number of factors, if the dB is shifting it could be due to water ingress into the cabling between you and the cab. If the upload/download speeds are adjusting it could just be down to Eircom's service, congestion on their network, congestion on the server you selecting for the speed test.

    Anyone else's line attenuation increase all of a sudden?!
    Mine went from 13.8 to 20.2!

    Still getting my usual speed of 47 Meg down but my attainable line speed went from 95 to 63!

    Anyone know what might of caused this?

    Could be more people connecting to the cabinets as the companies sign up more people in your area to VDSL.

    Or water/rain getting into the cabling from cab<->house

    Got it sorted. Forgot I switched my DSL cable from router to socket. My bad.

    I read on this thread that some people are using CAT 6 cable? I am a complete noob. Do I connect my modem to the CAT 6 cable? How does it work so I can get the maximum speed?

    A CAT 6 cable is just an ethernet cable. An ethernet cable is what you use to connect your computer to the modem. Another type of cable is used to connect the modem to the wall socket which i presume is already in place.

    I think you can. I think they put you on the 50Mb package like they did with this guy because you both have similar stats.
