are my presumptions correct?

Boggin:
If 12Mbps is the max speed then you could be getting less than that when using wireless because of the distance from the router and possible interference.

Log into your router where you should what the max download and upload speeds

For the Fibre package that I'm on, the router gives a max download speed of 73.3Mbps and about 20Mbps upload.

Of that, on Ethernet I get 69.7Mbs with about 18Mbps upload, whereas the wireless download speed is only about 39Mbps

When I was on ADSL, because of the distance from the exchange, I was only getting about 6.6Mbps.

Do your speed tests using Ethernet and wireless.

I normally use www.speedtest.net

It's best to do a speed test with just one device switched on and then you can do another one with all devices switched on where you should see a drop in the speed.

About the profile pic - I don't know as I've never tried that.

thanks. boggin. all the mails have landed in spam folder.
thanks for the inormation

I could have opt fibre, but the service provider is not providing directly and it is being given by private agency, so , i am not sure about the service. the bb is directly provided by the service provider.
Ok, You said that due to the distance from the telephone exchange your speed was only 6 mbps.
Boggins , please tell, is the distance from the telephone exchange to your house or
the distance between the junciton box, where the lineman opens and repair whenever I have any issue with the telephone working.
the junction box is about 1 km , wire distance, where as the dslam or the exchange which is near 3km wire distance.
which is to be taken for speed loss

Boggin:
When I was on ADSL my speed was determined by the length of wire from the exchange to the cabinet and then to my home.

My Downstream Attenuation was about 51Dbm which divided by 13.81 put the length of wire between me and the exchange to be about 3.69kms.

My Fibre is what is known as Fibre To The Cabinet (FTTC) which is about 0.6km from my home gives me the much higher speed on Fibre as well as the package I'm paying for.

hi, boggins
your quote:
 Downstream Attenuation was about 51Dbm which divided by 13.81
what is this 13.81 is it common denominator.
is it the distance between exhange or junction box of all connections near my house, including mine to be taken in to account.
So, can i arrive at the km knowing the downstream attenuation

Boggin:
I got the 13.81 when I was learning about broadband - I forget the website I read it on.

My current router doesn't show the Dowstream Attenuation.

I use to have an ISP supplied Dlink but can't remember if that listed it.

Dividing by 13.81 gives the approx length of cable between your home and the exchange and not the distance between your home and the exchange.

As you will appreciate, the cabling could be routed through many places, but it does affect what speed you will get.
