Your attenuation is very high, 62 out of a max of 63.5. It looks like you're about 5km or more from the exchange. Do you know how far it is?

sorry im a bit of a noob when it comes to networking and broadband, i live around 2 miles outside of tralee town ive been told the fastest broadband i can get is around 3 megs but i think that was by eircom so im not too sure about that, kerry in general is not the best place for broadband but still mine is worse than it normally is, hopefully this fabeled technician will solve all my problems haha fat chance

Phonelines often don't run too directly, but it sounds like you should be at a lower attenuation if that's the distance. Might be as simple as water getting into the wiring given the rain lately.

ya thats what i was thinking as well but to be honest even before this week my broadband was never rely reliable my line Attenuation never went below 55 and my speeds are pretty terrible at times .5 meg thanks for all the help anyway

Hi,

My internet is aslo acting up. I live just outside Dundalk so the connection should be good. The dsl light will start flashing and there goes my internet connection for 5-9 minutes, i also play online on my x-box and I'd have no connection what so ever. Here are my internet stats
