[SGVLUG] ATT DSL Gateway choices, which gateway do you like?

[matti]

Thanks Dan!

I've put cat5e line from the MPOE to the filter,
and from there split the phone and DSL.

So, inside wiring probably not the issue unless someone
has jacked with the wiring I did. Filter maybe, I can easily 

substitute it.

Uverse - in theory I think it is available in this neighborhood.
What has been your experience: Would they run a new wire?

or just use the old one?

thanks
matti

Your line's too noisy for 3 Meg. 7 dB snr is low. You'll end up losing sync intermittently. The downstream attentuation isn't exactly terrible, but you're pushing it. Might get better results from downgrading to 1.5M, but you'll have troubke with things like Netflix. See if you're in Uverse turf. I know people who've magically been able to have new lines run to get their connection improved. The only other suggestion would be to switch to coax, since coax providers will usually (sloppily) run you a new line straight into your home. If you really want to stick with DSL, connect the modem directly into the customer side of your NID / demarc (the physical cutoff between your home wiring and AT&T's network), then measure your line levels again after you get sync. If your downstream SNR improves above 10, then your insid lines might be the problem. There's a chance it's filtering, since a bad filter causes interference with your downstream, but I don't see
 that being likely with such a high attenuation. Unplug all of your phones and see if your SNR improves. Also, make sure the filters are on your phones, and *not* your modem. I don't really see you getting much of an improvement with a new modem, with the exception of an old Alcatel Speed Touch Home. Those things are ancient, but one of the best modems ever made.
