Major speed variations - VDSL line


Steve C

Recommended Posts

  •  

I upgraded to a VDSL (33MBPS) line a few months back. Have had many calls to ISP resulting in marginally better and more constant speed for a few days, then back to the up and down scenario. I have been running tests at 5 min intervals. The results can be seen here: https://testmy.net/quickstats/Steve C. They are up and down like the proverbial whores drawers. The results range from 4MBPS to 20MBPS(max). Average down 12MBPS.  I am less than 1000meters from the exchange.

My questions as follows: Are speeds variable on VDSL lines and if so by how much would be acceptable?

                                             If I kick me speed plan back to ADSL 24MBPS am I likely to get a better and more stable line, and if so what sort of speed should I expect?

 

Unfortunately I cannot change provider, all the others run on this backbone. The equipment is the same, -the bill comes from another provider.

I have no VDSL experience, only cable service. My plan is 100 down, 10 up.  I consistently get 115 and 10 on the NY test server which is some 500+ miles away.

 

Theres certainly no evidence in your test data where you’re getting near your 33 Mbps plan Max. I would continue to call your ISP on this. Be persistent but courteous. It may take several calls.
