Re: Q regarding channel ID, power and speeds

I dont have any AV on my system.

The power levels I constantly check to be honest and adjust accordingly. Like a said I used to have around a 6dB attenuator in place but when QAM256 got installed it shot up to 13dB and I had to use more attenuation. At no time did VM ever come around yet whatever they did it certainly changed my power levels.

The last time I was looking inside the roadside cabinet was when I had 20Mbit and had all sorts of problems. Different power settings were adjusted in there back then and if they have changed since I was on 20Mbit I have no idea. That was a while ago mind you.

It just amazes me that none of the speedtest sites ever show my full speed anymore even though it does appear I'm getting good 'actual' speeds when downloading.

I'm a little reluctant to call techs in as I feel it'll just be a case of 'ignore the speedtest sites as they arent accurate in most cases'. Would just like to know why I cant see the full speed on them.

Thx
