DSL -> 256 kbps / 2048 kbps ! highest = 218 , Eircom, Guys need help please!

ambient.air

Hi,

I am currently paying for 3MB broadband (Eircom). I live out in the country side, (Galway) and lucky enough to even have broadband.

Anyway,
I highest/peak I ever got was 218KB/S.
I have tired both torrents and direct.

Using downloading anything direct (eurpe servers) using a web browser I get around 208KB/S - 213KB/S (with nothing els open or using any traffic at all, all firewalls turned OFF inc the router and Windows firewall)

With utorrent I just get under 213 KB/S download speed, With vuze I get the best download speed ever, so it must be the max number of connections or something and even after clicking stop on the torrents, so vuze is downloading/upload nothing my network dies for around 30-120 seconds.. I also noticed in the logs via router It says "exceeds the max. number of session per host!"

Now, is there any tweak or anything I can do to even get that 218KB/S up another 20 KB/S or even 30?.

Router: P-660HW-T1 v3
ISP: Eircom
Package: 3MB
Peak/Highest DL reach: 218KB/S

Ok, so my question from making this thread:

Is there/how any way to speed up my download speed by using some dl clinet and editing the max connections or something, As the max for the DSL is 248 but I only reached 218 kb/s before.
(Oh and also I remember using jdownloader and I was getting around 10KB/S faster than using web browsers to download the exact same file from the exact same location,etc...So what do I need to look into?

Thank You.

Your modem is syncing at 2 megabits. 218kb/s is perfectly fine for a 2 meg sync. In theory you should get 256kb/s on a perfect 2 meg line but PPPoE and ATM overhead means you never will.

I can't make any sense of the line stats! SNR margin of zero?? Downstream attenuation of 515??? :eek: That can't be right.

515 x .1db = 51.5db which would fit in with his sync speed. That's as good as he's likely to get.

Other than disconnecting everything from the line bar the modem & seeing if your stats/sync speed improve, there's nothing you can do to increase your speed op.

If you live north or east of the City ( within a few miles of Mervue) you may be getting VDSL this summer. Probably not though...eircom are being awful shifty about their plans.

I think you mean kB/s as opposed to kb/s

Those line stats show the line can easily do about 4 mbps... Yet another example of eircom needlessly restricting line speeds?? I'd call eircom and insist the line speed be increased to 3 mbps.
