There have been a lot of reports of service slow-downs over at DSLReports from those in Erie, PA and other areas. Many of these areas of PA are fed by Octal T1 DSLAMS (Adtran TA1248 IMA, total of 12Mbps down, 12Mbps up for up to 48 customers to share). Hopefully you're not on one of these, as they're junky by design, but we shall find out.
Can you hook up your ActionTec modem? This is the modem which will give us Transceiver Statistics, to figure out if you're on FastPath or Interleaved, as well as to figure out how your line is doing. The D-Link modem doesn't have a page for this information.
Once the ActionTec is connected, assuming it's the GT784WNV, go to http://192.168.1.1/ and click on Status > DSL Status. Copy/Paste the Transceiver information, but please remove the Username information for your PPPoE info, and also remove any IP addresses shown.
Default login will usually be admin/admin or admin/password unless it's been changed by you or someone else.
I dont have the ActionTec modem anymore, I had to send it back when I got the D-Link. I was also working with someone over on DSLReports Direct Support forum who switched me to Fastpath, I am hoping that will help. I will check it out once I get home again to look.He did confirm that I am on the Adtran infrastructure out here though 😞If I need more assistance I will post again in this thread. Thanks!Thank you for replying.
Glad we were able to confirm that. They confirmed it was a T1-fed Adtran TA1248 IMA?
Just making sure, because Verizon does use Adtran TA5000 in their COs. They were installing one last summer in my central office, but I don't know if they're using it for DSL capacity, or to provide more ports for Fiber connectivity.
We have had Verizon DSL for 9 years and it has been horrible for the last 5 or so years. It is a really good day if we can surpass 1 mbps download and .5 mbps upload. Verizon has over-sold in the area and refused to invest in the infrastructure. Articles in the local media have addressed the issue. This is a resort area and, during the summer months, the service grinds to an absolute stop. Service is often out (or unusable) for hours at a time.
Repeated calls to Verizon have been unsuccessful. Tonight they did agree to replace the 9 year old modem.
We have no alternative for service in the area, even though Shentel runs fiber within a quarter mile of our house.
