Connection just not usable

I've been unhappy with my DSL connection for a while and have called a number of times, had some slight improvements that don't last and this will be my last effort to get a usable connection before I look into changing to cable.  Here are upload and download speeds over the last 36 hours using Verizon Speed Test:

Down    Up

.024    .124

.804    .452

.892    .588

.300    .130

.890    .476

.892    .474

.068    .138

.429    .448

Transceiver Stats are as follows

Thanks but that has never really solved the problem.  I have a 3 month trial with local cable company and will compare services.  I had hoped that some info from the forum might help but I've dealt with tech support many times before and find myself frustrated each time.

Your modem seems to be suggesting that your line has some length to it. An attenuation of 63.5dB is pretty high. Your line isn't holding the correct sync rate (should be 1184kbps download, 448kbps upload) so it could use some work. Even though I know you are trialing out the Cable Company's service, we can see what can be done to improve the DSL service to make it obtain the speeds you're looking for.

It's hard to tell if your slow speed issue in regards to the sync rate is from poor line quality or if it is really from length, but as a test, what you can do is plug your modem into your NID to see if you can obtain better statistics at the NID. If they are much improved, you will need to just inspect/repair some wiring in your home to suit the DSL better. If there is no improvement, Verizon will need to improve the line on their end.

If there are still slower speeds occurring, you may be experiencing the Juniper/Litespan issue I've talked about in other forum threads. This requires someone with higher access to the network to fix, but I can direct you to that fix if it turns out your issue may be a result of this.
