broadband exchange.
The value will display either 'Interleaved Path' or
'Fast Path'
The 'configured' column for the Link Status will
always display '—'.
If the 'current' column displays '—' then no ADSL link
has been achieved, and may indicate a problem with
your ADSL line.
This value is the ADSL operating mode as
synchronised with the broadband exchange.
The value will display 'G992.5(ADSL2+)' for ADSL2+
(up to 24Mbps) or 'G.992.1 (G.DMT)' for IPStream
(up to 8Mbps) on EE Broadband
The 'configured' operation mode will always display
'Automatic'.
If the 'current' column displays '—' then no ADSL link
has been achieved, and may indicate a problem with
your ADSL line.
This value is the Upstream (Upload) ADSL data rate
in Kilobytes per seconds (Kbps.)
Please note that this is the rate synchronised with
the broadband exchange – your actual Internet
upload speeds may be lower than this value
depending on the service you are using.
This value is the Downstream (Download) ADSL data
rate in Kilobytes per seconds (Kbps.)
Please note that this is the rate negotiated with the
broadband exchange – your actual Internet
download speeds may be lower than this value
depending on the service you are using.
These values are the upstream and downstream
Signal to Noise Margin (sometimes known as an
SNR) on your ADSL line.
This is the ratio between the strength of the signal
and the background noise on the line expressed in
decibels.
These values are the upstream and downstream
attenuation rates on your ADSL line.
This is a measure of the loss of signal strength
between your router and the broadband exchange
expressed in decibels. The further you are from your
exchange the higher the downstream attenuation
rate.
These values are the near end (from router) and far
end (from exchange) power levels output between
your router and broadband exchange.
The output power will increase the further you are
from your exchange.
These values are the count of Forward Error
Correction (FEC) detected on the ADSL line with a
