Tiscali Blue's

[WitchHouse]

Only 5 more days of sorrow left, :(

I have my MAC from Tiscali, And have planned to join here on the 19th, as my local exchange is being upgraded on the 16th, I decided perhaps it would be wise to wait, and give it untill monday the 19th so it all settles down. The trouble is it was also being upgraded on the 1st, and it obviously never happened as it was still showing red a few days later. or maybe It works completly differently and I am reading it all wrong :eek:

Perhaps I should ask the question? Is it wise to wait, or just sign on here straight away, ? :rolleyes:

my strange reasoning for this
I am Concerned about it because if my line gets calibrated at a slower speed due to the exchange being in the red, over the ten day calibration BT thingy.
My router has always sync at 8.1 meg and I am only 546 m from the exchange. "I can see it out of my cell window if I look real hard"
With Tiscali I have never been properly upgraded to the max speeds even with this sync 8.1mb. I never downloaded or indeed had a speed test that shows over 2 mbps result. probably because they manualy upgraded me and my accounts area frooze on there system. "according to India"
Its all a bit strange. But then I am with Tiscali and I do not think BT actually got my upgrade order' Hence the below 2mb speeds. and Tiscali admited to messing my upgrade up.
When I had visited here and seen for my self just how helpfull support and the whole forum community are. I was hooked :-) And the nightmares changed in to dreams of maybe reaching above 2.2meg speeds. and gameing online agin,,, woo hooooo I am :-)

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

I tryed a shrink! And he advised me to join adsl24::cool:

Your exchange being red won't affect your sync speed, so there's no need to be concerned about moving here at once.

When my exchange was red for a few weeks in December I didn't see any reduction in speeds.

The only important thing about the 10 day training period is the setting of the Maximum Stable Rate (MSR) and, from that, the Fault Threshold Rate (FTR). FTR = MSR - 30%.

I've now had my line trained twice. :D First time I had crappy extension wiring so the FTR was way lower than it should have been. Recently I've been retrained and, as there's a problems with my settings on an Enta server, the numbers will be low again......but I can't even get those numbers out of Enta at present.

Other than MSR & FTR, "training" is really an ongoing process - Dynamic Line Management (DLM).

Ircsum.
