jimbo01 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2010 I don't know about anybody else but my internet connection speed seems to have doubled over the past couple of weeks. I have noticed when downloading that when i am expecting something to take 1/2 an hour its done in a few minutes. Don't get me wrong this is fantastic but is dangerous when you are on the pro plan with only 40 gig as that can get chewed up very quickly when you are getting speeds like this. Damn - checked my Dlink modem and even though it's running ADSL 2plus modulation the sync speed is only 7.5Mbps. Thats basically what I got when it was running on ADSL1 modulation. I guess I have to call Telecom and ask for an explanation. I have heard of this happening but that was supposed to be modems supplied companies other than Telecom.

jimbo01 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2010 (edited) 7547 downstream? Upgrade your firmware http://telecom.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1360 Yep the data rate is 7547 and there is no help I can find on the Telecom site related to this specific problem, which I can tell from looking at the web is a problem that ocurrs often enough. My modem is the D-link DSL-G604T Generation II. It has a hardware version of C3 and firmware version of V3.00B01T01.TX.20070315 (dates from 15th of March 2007). The D-link support site only finds the older vertical standing G604 when I search support, but when I made an email support case it listed the GenII model. Got to wonder how many users this may be affecting. Syncing at 7547kbps when it should be closer to 24000kbps is quiet a fail.

pjay 8 Report post Posted October 7, 2010 (edited) 7547 kbps is a fallback bitrate when your modem is connected to but not compatible for ADSL2+. You can force ADSL1 through to connect at 7616 kbps or download more recent firmware to make this modem compatible. Alternatively, you can request Telecom to switch off interleaving OFF on your line which the modem will recognise and sync up at ADSL2+ rates. This is really a work around though and I recommend upgrading the modem firmware or purchasing a new modem. Edited October 7, 2010 by Pjay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are a handy person to know, and with great taste in cars too. Telecom are shipping me a replacement Thompson modem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cliffdunedin 8 Report post Posted October 7, 2010 Also, for anyone who doesn't know, on the last day of your billing month, you can download as much as you want at full speeds regardless if you've gone over your allowance already. This is correct^^^ our last day of billing, and we are actually over the cap but it is now back at full speed but our usage does not change...very cool!!
