50M : When should I start to worry about speed?

[pabscars]

Nicked from Masque's sticky on power levels for easy comparison.

Here is a Sticky for 50Mb power levels across all platforms

Downstream

* Knowsley networks using QAM64 are: -7 to +3 dBmV.

* Knowsley networks using QAM256 are: -3 to +7 dBmV.

* Langley & Bromley networks using QAM64 are: -10 to 0 dBmV.

* Langley & Bromley networks using QAM256 are: -4 to +6 dBmV.


Upstream

* Upstream signal levels (from the modem) should be between 34 and
55dBmV.

What network are you on ?
______

my view is if I was on the 50mbit tier I would consider anything below 40mbit unacceptable as then the speed is nearer to the tier below it. Some will argue thats still 80% of the speed which is a valid point but for me its about 50mbit remaining value for money on the product below it. However its worth pointing out 50mbit has no download STM so if you a heavy user the 30mbit product is effectively a 7.5mbit product during peak which would then mean speeds down to 10mbit or so may be acceptable.

______

Locked, QAM256, 240, 55616000 Kbits/sec, 298750000 Hz, 5.0 dB mV, 43.9 dB, Hybrid.

So is that Knowsley!
