cholla Posted January 10, 2005 CID Share Posted January 10, 2005 Just wanted to post my speed test.It is pretty good for regular dial-up especially at 28600 ft from the Telco or CO I'm never sure which is the most correct term.A tech at SBC told me the best I could expect was 50.6 because that is where there system limit is.He said I might be able to got the 53.3 limit with special filters.thi test is about the top for my system but I am gettint this speed more conisisently.Cholla :::..

MICROWAVE Posted January 10, 2005 CID Share Posted January 10, 2005 Yep it is a very good score for dial^ up, the question of how fast can ya get a dial modem to go has been around for as long as the modem has. My idea is that the pay off for the work isn't that much, and of course there is a law setting the upper limit of the device..... But if I was using dial^ up I would be very happy with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholla Posted January 10, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 10, 2005 You are right about the time to tweak the system to get this speed & I do test lower a some of the time but that is constanyly improving.One thing that helped is I installed all new phone cables in my home to the NID box.They are 24 gauge C3.If you are on dial-up and can do this it can help.Of course if you already have good wire it won't.I had the SBC tech do a POTS data line quality test.Good Luck if you try to get a data tech like this I spent a lot of time & several calls to SBC before I did.The usual response is WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ?Inever heard of that test or a sudden transfer to SBC DSL in INDIA.The test can be accessed in hyper terminal the phone # is 1-866-293-6556 This is the number that works for me.It might be different for other areas.You do need to know how to use the HYPERTERMINAL & IT CAN ACT UNPREDICTABLE you may need to restart it a couple of times before it works.It showed 3 load coils on my line(you need to know how to read the graph to show this.Load coils are there to improve voice quality at a distance but are data KILLERS.I haven't done this but you can get a data line without the load coils as a second line if you are willing to pay for it.Cholla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MICROWAVE Posted January 10, 2005 CID Share Posted January 10, 2005 Its really a shame when ppl get these kinds of responses from techs.....POTS testing has been around a long time, one of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholla Posted January 10, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 10, 2005 I am putting a copy of two tests here that was done from HYPERTERMINAL on my computer I have deleted the computer trash you will get with the test so if you do the test expect to see a lot of it.If you are tech enough to read it & know what it means you probably don't need to.The graphs didn't paste just right but basically each drop after the long flat line of asterisks is a load coil on the line.If after this you see a U or V shaped pattern between drops the line has a problem most likely a bad load coil.This test also gives SNR( signal to noise ratio) which should be 25 or above.I hope there are others on dial-up at testmy.net & some of this info helps .It might give DSL users a little useful info too.Cholla THANK YOU FOR CALLING THE SBC MODEM LINE TESTER. PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING PROMPTS AND YOUR LINE WILL BE TESTED. Last Name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MICROWAVE Posted January 10, 2005 CID Share Posted January 10, 2005 cholla, Good info thanks,something I have said in older post is that the line they always use when they cant or wont fix a problem is >>>>>>>>>>>>>Quoted from your test "YOUR MODEM LINE HAS MET OR EXCEEDED ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF A VOICE GRADE LINE. IF YOU HAVE THE NEED FOR A FASTER CONNECTION, PLEASE CONTACT OUR BUSINESS OFFICE FOR A QUOTE ON ISDN OR ADSL" Yeah thanks but I'm not talking I'm using the INTERNET....LOL again great info that will help someone in the future.... its nice to also see ppl testing dial^ up here, because Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wmmc Posted January 10, 2005 CID Share Posted January 10, 2005 Interesting post cholla. But here we have old analog lines, what Verizon tech said when he added the 2nd phone line, dialup wont be forever, geesh I hope not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholla Posted January 10, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 10, 2005 Hi WMMC : I have regular analog too a regular copper POTS line all the way to the Telco. :)Cholla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wmmc Posted January 11, 2005 CID Share Posted January 11, 2005 Glad someone gets what a 56k modem is intended to do. On another note the Verizon tech guy also told me when I get up to 28.8k thats really good for way out here, I am going through www.highstream.net and I really have no idea if going through a company like Verizon would make a difference or not, currently paying $8.95 a month, Verizon would be $22.95 a month.

cholla Posted January 11, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 11, 2005 Hi WMMC: My ISP is nts-online.net .I know this one is a branch of the larger nts but it seems to be ran like a franchise where the local owner controls it.I tried a couple of others when I first went online .Some had good reveiws but not such good service.So far I am satisfied with this one.It is only about 125 miles from me. If you have a good local ISP like this one thats what I would get .They are $9.99 a month but if you are located far from them You might not get the same results.

cholla Posted January 11, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 11, 2005 HI VanBuran: I decided to start a new topic on this.I have actually taken the upload at testmy.net & speakeasy esveral times over several days results are always about the same at both.Low at testmy.net & high at speakeasy.You can see why I wouldn't like to post the upload speed from testmy.net . Another question this topic is getting pretty long is that what the Lock button is for to stop this topic?And should it be stopped when it gets this long?THANKS Cholla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cholla Posted January 12, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 12, 2005 Hi Microwave I appreciate you checking out the speed on your uncles computer,I've heard that a business phone system can really slow things down.I used to get that kind of speed from my old isp from the same computer & phoneline I am using now.I am posting a test I did about 11:30 pm 1/11/05 at test my net.I wish my upload was like this.

MICROWAVE Posted January 12, 2005 CID Share Posted January 12, 2005 cholla , Your welcome, yeah I thought it would show the speed "most " dial up ppl live with. You got mad speed and even though its dial its the best it can be and thats what I think is important with a connection..... keep testing and visiting TESTMY.NET and tell your friends to test so they can get an idea what their Truespeed is and make it the best it can be like you did...good luck and thanks for your imput..... :) Microwave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
