Title: Please, a new connection for Xmas :(
Post by: Kheldar on Aug 09, 2007, 22:28:19
oh for a decent connection.

i want my cable connection back.


ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 1376 kbps 448 kbps
Line Attenuation 49 db 15.5 db
Noise Margin 13 db 25 db


one day maybe this country will provide a decent broadband service to everyone.

That speed for that attenuation is awful, Steve. Assuming you've done all the internal wiring tricks, have a word with support and see if they can do anything.

indeed DB.

after a lot of trying, several years, tablets, many hospital visits, an operation (for Rach not me ;) ) etc etc we are having a baby at the end of november.

and we cannot wait.

til now Fifi has been our baby, but as bloody cute and wonderful as she is, she is not quite the same.
