I know that my connection to the exchange and the backhaul are BT, and so in many ways nothing has changed. But it's weird... these are the things I have experienced since moving to IDNet this week.
- My SNR dropped from 9 to 6. It's been 9 for sometime after all the great weather we had this spring.
- My sync is the highest it has been in a year. Almost the full 8128 (8096).
- I got the highest ever speed on my line this morning... better than what I got any time during the last 2+ years with UKFSN. Higher than anything I ever got with Zen. (I have the historical readouts to reference)
Is this the midas touch of IDnet? I'm stunned and these are verifiable/quantifiable stats, rather than just feelings.
Though the feeling is pretty cool too! Snappy pages. No distortion of VoIP. :happy: Coincidence? I dunno, but I like it and I wonder why I didn't move here ages ago!
Some of it can be explained by the quality of the IDNet network, Doc. The rest I'm guessing is down to a better connection at the exchange, possibly as a result of BT's 21CN/WBC work.

We're not due to have 21CN/WBC until second quarter 2011. Maybe they have already started work, but our little exchange was one that we had to run a campaign on to get enabled for broadband in the first place.
Further weird is that all the equipment on my end is the same... same filter, wiring, modem/router, etc. The only thing changed was my IP address and my new login details for IDnet.
All I can say is bring it on! Nice thing to experience! :thumb:
We told you you would like it here. :)
I had a similar experience when I left Plusnet :puke: Doc, my speeds have stayed constant ever since. :thumb:
Theoretically, nothing should change in this respect by moving ISP, so it could just be coincidence.
The reason you're sync'd at 8,096k is because you have interleaving on; were this turned off, you should get the full 8,128k (but it depends on how high the errors are on your line whether this is feasible).

I don't think interleaving is on:
Quoteras> wan adsl chandata
DSL standard: ADSL_G.dmt
near-end interleaved channel bit rate: 0 kbps
near-end fast channel bit rate: 8096 kbps
far-end interleaved channel bit rate: 0 kbps
far-end fast channel bit rate: 832 kbps
Anyhow, it is a mystery to me... glad for any coincidence that works in my favour rather than the other way!
It certainly doesn't look like it's on... ???
