#61652 — They got me in now this

They got me in with their fastest speed possible, it is now this.
It was about 43 down fairly constant once.

Call MyRepublic and ask them to fix it.  If they can't or won't, ask 
them to release you from your contract and go somewhere else.

If they won't release you, take it to the TIO and ask for release from 
your contract to be your desired outcome.

I am hoping it will come good as I got in before they put the price up.
$59.00 per month, others only do 25/5 for that which may not be any 
better out here

That’s a real worry. Looks like your service has developed a fault.

Normally when its just a lack of CVC in the POI, the upload speed
isnt affected at all. You initially had 43/15 which is about right for
your distance. You shouldn’t have seen the upload drop to around 10.

But your initial 43/15 was with the Brisbane server and these
lately are with Sydney. That’s why speedtest.myrepublic.com.au
is a much better measure, the server is always the same one.

And all you number are well after midnight,
you should be seeing congestion then.

And your ratio between upload and download is way out.
It should be close to 3:1 although it can drift to a higher
ratio with the longer distance from the pillar and node.

Remind me what you have done about unused phone
sockets and central splitters etc ?  With the phone sockets
it doesn’t matter if there is a phone plugged in, what
matters is if its electrically connected and forms a spur.
That can have a big effect on the synch speeds and the ratio.

What shows in the modem itself synch speed wise ?

No splitters, sockets still connected with nothing except modem plugged 
in, have removed surge protector I had on the line

Then it’s a fault. Lack of enough CVC in the POI sees the worst
download speeds between 8:30pm and midnight roughly.

That’s your problem.

Doesn’t matter if there is anything plugged in or not
the spur is still there, the wire to the unused sockets
which resonates at the much higher frequencys that
VDSL2 uses that adsl didn’t.

Strictly speaking you need to use a licensed cabler
to electrically disconnect all the sockets except the
one used by the modem but its very easy to do.

> have removed surge protector I had on the line

Worth doing but doesn’t usually case the problem that unused sockets do.

except that it has been running ok till now with no change to the 
wiring,and for an experiment I just now ran cable from first point of 
entry to modem

PS I was in the electrical game,probably why I left the  lines going 
everywhere,I will probably reconnect it all from the phone out on the 
modem when I get a tuit(you know the bootmaker has the worst boots,the 
plumber the worst plumbing etc)

Any way I just had a session with myrepublic with the result that I now 
have no NBN(doing this through phone hotspot)seems it may be faulty 
line.After he did factory reset it wont connect to server and with the 
modem completely off line the testing still shows unstable.
So now have to wait for NBN tech,and so no catch up tv for a while,(3 gb 
on phone wont get me far)

Does that include what was plugged into the now unused phone sockets ?

You can sometimes see a spur not resonate as badly with
something plugged into the now unused phone socket.

And what happened to the synch rates show on the modem
web page when you did that ?  That’s much better measure
of what is happening cabling wise than any speedtest results.

And the speedtests need to be done with a wired connection,
not over wifi. Wifi just adds another variable.

I just ran a line to the PoC which quite literally just lies
in the floor under the junk in the house. Proper phone
cable. Did that way back in the adsl days and still use
it now. Like your most recent test electrically.

Testing by MR presumably you mean.

But your speedtest.myreplublic.com.au numbers were 14G which
is plenty for that. Mine was fine at 8GB on my adsl2+ service.

When he did factory reset on modem it will not reconnect through faulty 
line it was apparently holding on to dicky line but won't establish 
connection any more, any way, message from myrepublic is that NBN will 
fix it on or before 30th.
Went to MSA on the way somewhere today and got $12.00 usb wi fi for the 
desk computer and that is what I am using now with phone as wifi hotspot

Yeah, the protocol is pretty robust so it can see it
compensate for a line going bad gradually but
can't establish a new session when its got too bad.

Yeah, it’s a pretty decent backup. The modem MR supplies can do an auto
fallback to that in theory. Not much use for you but handy for a business.

Yes, the wiring has been the same since I started, I just unplugged 
everything and connected the modem in the middle somewhere.
At the moment during the testing I put a long temporary cable from point 
of entry to modem, when it is going again I will shorten it in a 
straight line in the roof.

It serves me well enough downloading videos at "phone resolution". It
would probably do 20-30 1hr shows if you didn't use it for much else.

That's plenty quick enough for downloading videos at phone
resolutions. The laptop probably defaults to a much higher
resolution than the phone.

I use downloader software/websites which allow you to select
the resolution you want. "240p" serves me fine for YouTube
and the like, I haven't tried iView. I usually set a batch
downloading simultaneously and watch them later.

2.6 gb got chewed up without me doing much at all over three days, 
probably downloading facebook crap on the phone with no input from me as 
I had not told it not to,so I turned off data.
NBN has still not done anything with the unstable line even though they 
said they would before the 30th.
