Can Eircom Netopia 2247 router get higher speeds than 12mb?

RandomPerson13

I should be getting 24mb on eircom but the max speed i get is 12Mb when i check the DSL statistics on the router i get following results
Line State- Up
Modulation- ADSL2+
Data Path - Fast
........................................Downstream Upstream
Max Allowed Speed (kbps)............20474...... 1023
SN Margin (dB)..........................10.70........8.80
Line Attenuation (dB).....................3.80.......0.60
CRC Errors......................................43..........15

I have the most up to date firmware on the 2247 (7.8.0r2) but i can still never get over the 12mb.
at the moment a speed test will give me
this is wireless but its about the same cabled.


Any help would be much appriciated

You are sync'd to your exchange at 20Mbps.

20Mbps over Adsl2+ is excellent. I take it you live very near to the exchange?

Download this, select HeaNET.ie and tell us what speed Your getting after a minute or 2. Speedtest is a little inaccurate as it may be limited by the connection speed to the speedtest server itself.

Id say less then 100 metres. Im happy getting the 10mb but would like to see the 20mb or 24mb working. I will try that other speed test later as im not at home now

You snr is pretty dire for the speeds you are trying to get and I think too that your wireless even if it is 'g' standard may limit the maximum speed on your network. Even where the g standards claims 54Mbs most reviews of g standard routers say that wirless performace is nowhere near this.

Eh :eek: !!??!!

When did eircom allow synching at 20mbits ??? what package is the OP on ???

Ok Thanks. So you think the SNR is causing the poor speeds? should i ring eircom about this or is it something that just cant be fixed?

Have a read of this article it will give you a fair bit of information:

http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/lowSNR.htm

Might be worth checking your internal wiring too.

But he's syncing at 20mbit, snr isn't his problem. He wouldn't sync at 20mbit if snr was 2 low.

Can You dl Ubuntu from that link I gave You in an earlier post? Its a much better method of measuring speed.

Also do another speedtest from somewhere else
http://speedtest.smarttelecom.ie/
http://speedtest.magnet.ie/
http://www.irishisptest.com/runmyspeed.php
Also as dub45 says, don't use wireless. Using wireless would be limited to your wireless card (of which I've seen some max at 5mbit).

I'd also like to know what Eircom package You're on, I've not come across Eircom 24mbit before, there's no mention of it on their website.

Was just thinking the same thing myself..

alec76

he-he, i guess some local eircom engineer helped him out to get such a synching lol

Baneblade

Thats odd the fastest current package is 12mb.

The modem is capable of it as i use one and can download a file at close to 20mbps.

my upstream also syncs at 1023 which is odd, i though it should be 1024

Thanks for all the replys. Called eircom today and was advised there was a fault on they line and they will be looking into it so hopefully this will help. For anyone wondering its a 24mb trial. I dont know anthing else about the trial only that im on it and someone living a few doors down are also on it.

Sponge Bob

This trial down in Sandyford is it ??

eircom obviously don't know the difference between a synch and a port it seems or else have minged the experimental profile for the trial , I can imagine how bewilderd BB support must be look at that synch speed

Smart are the only carrier who synch at max irrespective of the port size . Normal eircom profiles synch at the port speed or sometimes less if the profile is unstable and you contact support about it .

that 24meg adsl2+ trial also has fast path enabled. Really puts my 5meg (ment to be 7.6meg) and ultra high interleving package to shame:)

For anyone wondering its a 24mb trial

i thought it is a DSLAM hack

Id love to but i dont have any other information. I live very close to the Eircom exchange. Got a call asking do we want to take part in a trial for 24mb - Was put on a pack for 15mb D and 2mb up for a few weeks and then got changed to the one im currently on. Was happier on the 15mb because i have never got over 12mb but had 2mb up.

Eircom have been trialling this for a while now, don't hold your breadth for it to be released as a package.
