Re: [Internet] Bell tech with DSL problems at home

Well I made contact with someone there, and they are going to try to come out sometime this week to have a look with me, and see.

The maps showed no signs of any type of taps. My distance reading from the meter from ped to OPI was also confirmed.

You exactly described a situation that I really don't like to work on when doing dsl repair, I don't think we've got the right tools to really repair on some cases.

2-3 months ago I had a case where I had around 6mbps sync in the jwi and only 2mbps in an inside terminal that f2 was around 3-400m long... tried EVERY spare and could not get any better on that one. I was shocked, every pairs tested way better than my tester could.. So I could only let it that way, felt really cheap.

It's even more shocking when it takes 5 min to get to the jwi and that ther terminal is on a pole, in those case I only take the best pair from another bender if it's not better I cut it and it's staying like this. It doesn't happen offently (it's really rare).

One thing I'll probably build is a small case with 5-6 4200 inside with a 12v battery and clip on each modem. you put one modem on every spare and you can test the pairs right at the jwi

The trouble you describe is probably due to "end tap" and causes all sorts of problems when your F2 pairs go long. You may want to try setting up and using the 3M 950 meter to test your pairs for DSL capabilities...I found it quite reliable as long as you set it up properly. It measures for load coils, distance and then ADSL properties with a full graph and the noise margin and speed expected from each point on the pair. The only problem being its internal battery doesn't last too long so you have to have an inverter in your vehicle to keep it charged. In Ontario we have a cable group who assist us with bridge taps etc etc. Perhaps in Quebec they exist but I have no knowledge of them.
