DSL and Temperature |
|
|
I have a very shaky DSL connection. When the outside temperature drops below
65 deg (or so) the DSL drops. When the temperature rises above about 75 deg,
the connection syncs again.
Noise margins and attenuations look good when I am synced but US rate is
about 1/3 of what it is provisioned for. DS is at provisioning rate. Here is
a cut and paste from my westell 220015 modem. Any Ideas why I drop when it
gets cool outside?? The tech that did the install said I was at 19,000
ft.from a RT
US Atten: 18.5 DS Atten: 63.5
0,0:5:11 US Margin: 12.0 DS Margin: 17.0
0,0:5:11 US Tx Power: 10.0 DS Tx Power: 13.0
0,0:5:11 US DSL Rate: 64 kbits/sec DS DSL Rate: 864 kbits/sec |

You don't say whether you have a shared line (DSL and voice on the same
line) or seperate lines. If you have a shared line do your voice calls
have any trouble (getting cut off, static, etc.)? It sounds like a loose
connection somewhere, when the temp drops the wires contract and break
connection, when the temp is warmer the wires expand and make connection.
If you have a shared line then it seems that your voice calls would also
have trouble. If you have a shared line and voice calls don't have trouble
then the problem is at, or past, the DSL filter. If your DSL is on a
seperate line then you voice calls won't be affected and the trouble could
be anywhere between the RT and your DSL modem. The only other idea I have
is that this trouble only APPEARS to be temperature related. |

WhahahahaT? Attainable line rate kbit/sec Attainable Atm rate kbit/sec
Used line rate kbit/sec Fast used Atm Rate kbit/sec Interleaved used Atm
rate kbits/sec Relative capacity occupation Noise margin dB Line
attenuation Output Power dBm Where are these figures we can't assess
anything with your figures.

the numbers below are in dB. Sorry this is all the data I can get out of my
westell 2200 modem.

It is a shared voice/DSL line. I have no issues with the POTS. I have tried
flashing the switch-hook to pulse the sealing current to see if I could get
any loose/dirty connections to connect.
There was a Verizon tech looking at the loop and he could find no faults. He
used a Dynatel to analyze the loop.
He also said that since I am on an RT, I can only expect service to about
14,500 feet????? I thought an RT could go 18,000 just like a CO.
In any case I sync when it gets above 72 and it drops during the night when
it goes below 60 degrees. I will be OK for a couple of weeks but winter is
coming to NJ.
Rain and damp do not seem to have any effect. It works well in the rain.
