Over the past two years with DSL and the little things that can effect speed with it.
Like your wiring to your Modem/bridge at your computer.
I recently had the benefit to work with a DSL/Phone administrator from the local telco here. We wanted to see if there was a way to increase his speed to his DSL at the time we tested he was getting 87% of his connection speed on Download and 90% of the upload speed.
We did the normal tweaking, which he had about 99% perfect by my standard.
So next we looked at his wiring he has a small network and we confirmed the Cat5e wiring was perfect for networking.
That left one last thing that we could do on his home.
We looked at the wiring from the Phone box on the outside of the house to the modem.
It’s a shared system that needs filters for the phones to work. The wiring to his Modem/bridge was the standard wiring you find everywhere..
That turned out to be the weakest link on his system We rewired it and got 100% of his connection and his connection is at over 12000 feet from the CO
Here’s a link to the full article on how we rewired his phones and removed all the Filters with the exception of one.
here's the link
http://www.dslnuts.com/DSLwiring.shtml Since wiring might differ from yours, and this article is new. We would love to here your opinion on some changes that might be needed.
I also did this very change on my DSL and noticed a 100kbps speed increase to about 98% or almost back to what I had before Earthlink had all the problems with their network this past January through March
Thanks
