Title: I am soooooo jealous
Post by: g7pkf on Apr 27, 2009, 18:45:28
Taken from a "genuine" 2700 i would sell my children for stats like this. AND NO NO EDIT IN ANY WAY and yes the attenuation is 3.8dB.

guess how close to the exchange i was....come on nearest wins the prize of being a know it all

I'd go for that too. 3.8dB downstream attenuation is the lowest I've ever seen!

In theory, it's about 350m away from the DSLAM, but with some loss on termination I reckon is has to be in the exchange building, Seb. :)

OK, you were at home and BT have put in a fibre link to overcome the train problem?

Now that would be cool (and highly unlikely given that it's BT!). :)

What is puzzling me is that if the line was that great, the noise margin and the max rate would be higher.  ???

interleaving was on, and we did 20+ connections over a 1 hour period. hence the "low" sync

and no Rik no fibre involved....

Ok cat out of Bag I was literally on top of a major bt exchange, the dslam was "physically" 3/5 metres away (through a major bit of concrete i will add/the roof of the exchange), although cable length was about 100metres (BT guy checked it with his reflectometer kit-more for fun than anything else)
