Semi-on topic: DSL line specs...

Chaotic42 · Mar 10, 2004

Hey.

As you may or may not know, my DSL line sucks. I can't visit more than one web page at a time, and games like BF1942 stutter like the excited southerner. I'm getting less than half of the download I'm paying for.

I notice on my router, as I'm trying to convince IRC DCC sends to work, that it has some line specs.

They are:

SN Margin (db): 4.5
Line Attenuation (db): 50.0
CRC Errors: 1520

Is this good? Bad? Should I be worried?

Get your filters replaced and invest in a good splitter off of eBay, I bet it would make a dent.

So a lower attenuation is better? What numbers am I shooting for?

Screw the numbers dude, if your connection is that fuxored something is wrong. It's like you're asking about your car's gas milage when it's missing wheels.

My cable provider doesn't have cable internet access.

Edit: Good point, sifl.

I know, but I'm lazy

What the flock?

Check this out.

When I have this "Bell South Fast Access Help" program running, my connection is decently fast. If I close it, I go back to the 9600 baud days.

I swear I didn't ride the ganja bus to the forums either.

Chaotic42 · Mar 13, 2004

Hmm, I just tested the line, and it failed.

I guess I'll have to call BellSouth Tech Support.

Does your DSL modem satus light sometimes blink ?

Nope.

I don't know how to describe the problem.

It's like if I try to do more than one thing involving the internet, the whole lot, everything I'm doing, stops. I have to try and jump start it again by clicking on different things. It's very laggy in BF1942, and my download speeds are half of what they should be.

I also can't DCC send, but I think that's a software problem.

It's a Westell 2200 WireSpeed DSL Modem.

Cuss out the manager at your ISP.

Try pinging google with the command :

ping google.com -t

Let this go for about 2-3min and post the results.

I think you better have a talk with your ISP in the morring. If your phone line was bad, you wouldn't have had such a good trace route. Ask you ISP WTF is going on. Make sure to e-mail them the pings you posted. Most game servers will kick you for a ping of 250, you had pings close to 2000. Yes, thousand. For comparison, my average ping is 45. Tell your ISP to just say no. Crack and gaming doesn't mix.

Those high pings happened when I was loading webpages, or doing anything else on the internet. The pings are fine when I just let it run by itself.

I miss my cable modem.

Ping shouldn't be that high ever, I get 45 average while listening to streaming radio.
