Was at the house of someone else in the village today and their broadband is basically unusable.
The line is about 2850m long. Line quality round here is terrible, but I'd have expected a little better than this - a neighbour to him manages 4 Meg on their line with errors being tossed all over the place.
ADSL Line Status
Connection Information
Line state: Connected
Connection time: 3 days, 03:37:27
Downstream: 1.122 Mbps
Upstream: 1.079 Mbps
ADSL Settings
VPI/VCI: 0/38
Type: PPPoA
Modulation: G.992.3 Annex A
Latency type: Interleaved
Noise margin (Down/Up): 10.1 dB / 6.5 dB
Line attenuation (Down/Up): 39.2 dB / 21.0 dB
Output power (Down/Up): 16.3 dBm / 12.5 dBm
FEC Events (Down/Up): 630934890 / 18873
CRC Events (Down/Up): 369 / 1120
Loss of Framing (Local/Remote): 0 / 0
Loss of Signal (Local/Remote): 0 / 0
Loss of Power (Local/Remote): 0 / 0
HEC Events (Down/Up): 456 / 1356
Error Seconds (Local/Remote): 338 / 814
This might be all the line can do, but this doesn't look right to me. The noise margin is actually very good for this area, 15 is typical, but not only is the throughout nearly non existent but the connection repeatedly "goes away for a while".
Is anything wrong with this, and what should he say to BT when he calls them?
For voice the line does occasionally have noise (crackling) on it.
