Internetspeed 3Bb 16/1Mb Router Data Sheet

[hdvision]

Hi,

may someone post his router datasheet.

reason: i move to a cheaper house and would like to use the money i save to upgrade the 900baht package to the 1490baht package.

the 900baht package can download at speed 16-17mb already (real download, not speedtest). the question is, it the 16/1mb package faster, too?

my spec.

DSL Status: Connected

DSL Modulation Mode: ADSL2+

DSL Path Mode: Interleaved

Downstream Rate: 17917 kbps

Upstream Rate: 1085 kbps

Downstream Margin: 19 db

Upstream Margin: 7 db

Downstream Line Attenuation: 3 db

Upstream Line Attenuation: 1 db

Downstream Transmit Power: 9 db

Upstream Transmit Power: 10 db

thank you a lot.

p.s

does someone have the WiFi to home? i dont mean the 3bb hot spot thing.

Looks to me like you're already on the 16/1Mb service.

I have the 9/1 Mb service and used to be connected at 17/1.25.

Then I had a problem at the connection on the street pole, and after they'd fixed it I can only connect at 14/1.25:

Max. Bandwidth Down/Up(kbps) 25044 / 2431

Bandwidth Down/Up(kbps) 14239 / 1278

SNR Margin Down/Up(dB) 20.3 / 25.0

Attenuation Down/Up(dB) 4.2 / 9.9

Power Down/Up(dBm) 8.0 / 13.3

590 baht + VAT per month seems a lot more to pay for maybe just 3 or 4 mbps more download.

Maybe the international bandwidth is better - i.e. not throttled, like the "Premier" service is rumoured to be - but I can't see in their advertising material if that is the case.

I'd stick with what you've got if I were you.

thank you for your answer. i think you are right, 590b is a lot of money.

i dont know if the 16/1mb is throttled, but i know that they drop my download speed every evening about 6.30p.m to 120-180kbs (reset at midnight), only downloads like torrent or usenet. youtube is fine and websites, too. but i guess that is because i download a lot every day one or two blurays. so i wont complain about it.

Assuming you're a foreigner and your browsing is mostly websites outside Thailand the short answer is "no".

The "nominal" speed they are selling you is just the connection speed between you and your ISP.

After having tried various packages with all the major ISP's it is clear that all international connections are throttled to about 500 kbps regardless of which speed you are connected with, in fact it seems they contractually are only obliged to provide 256 kbps.

Don't believe the resutls from speedtest.net, they are showing you the speed of locally cached content. If you want to know your real international download speed try instead DSLreport.com's speedtest. This is what I get right now with my 14 mbps True DOCSIS line:

Unless you were going to do a lot of Bittorrent, or similar, activity where the download stream can be broken up into multiple threads, or you're a lot of people simultaneously sharing the internet connection, you are not going to have much, if any, benefit from a faster line.

I use 3BB 13MB for 900 Baht deal. It's a great connection for price, etc, but the router they give you is terrible.

I recently went out and bought a decent dual band router and the connection is considerably better. I have 8 devices which all run smoothly and with a decent torrent I've had speeds up to 1.4MB a second downloading.

Make sure you have a half decent router at least.
