I have been using it for a few hours liao and did some test on speedtest and ftp singnet, avg spd is 800 to 900 KBps.. Happy :s13:

Also Been reading Chaicka xDSL Knowledgebase, got some question to ask also

Quote from Chaicka"
Signal Level Guide
3.1 ADSL
Downstream SNR = 15 dB. Higher is better, minimum = 6
dB. Upstream SNR = 10 dB. Higher is better.
Downstream Attenuation = < 30 dB Lower is better,
maximum = 60 dB. Upstream Attenuation = < 30 dB Lower
is better, maximum = 60 dB.
Downstream Power = < 15 dBm. Lower is better. Upstream
Power = < 15 dBm. Lower is better.
3.2 ADSL2+
Downstream SNR = 06 dB. Higher is not better, within
range is better = 05 - 07 dB.
Upstream SNR = 06 dB. Higher is not better, within
range is better = 05 - 07 dB.
Downstream Power = < xx dBm. Lower is better. Upstream
Power = < xx dBm. Lower is better.
Downstream Attenuation = < 22 dB Lower is better,
maximum = 22 dB (for 10mbps), 12 dB (for ~25mbps).
Upstream Attenuation = < 22 dB Lower is better,
maximum = 22 dB (for 10mbps), 12 dB (for ~25mbps).

can chk hor, the adsl2+, am I using it? if i am, then how come the recomm value from chaicka
is very small :/
is this ADSL2+ guide applicable to Singtel ADSL connection? if not, shd we still following ADSL guide for ADSL2+?

A pictorial form of ur line info as well as statistics would be better.alignment warp makes reading diff

Chaicka guide outdated cos it was locked. All readings should follow the ADSL comparison instead, despite the connection

simple, surf the net as you normally would...
if you don't encounter any weird issues, then your line is fine... else, there's some problem...

why bother with such statistics and get worried that your line is 8% below average when that 8% or even 20% is actually nothing more than a statistic?

readings on an mol can determine for u whether if u nid bring the modem nearer to the main cable pt etc as this will determine ur ability to reach peak speed as well as stable latency.

then again, our gabriel here is probably an average user that dosn't mind paying lots to green for any service quality provided.

if you need a number to tell you that something's wrong, it just goes to show you lack intuition.
