I am forcing 20mb off a 10mb MAC, was getting 19mb yesterday.
Logged on today and getting 6-7mb and 2mb at times. Could this be due to a signal issue. I have given my signal readings off the haxorware page.
With these readings I am only getting 7mb.

What are others signal readings, would be great if you could post them in.
Cheers

Ideally the DS wants to be around 6-8. mine is 2-3 and runs fine.
It could possibly be traffic management to be getting 2mb on a 20mb..
Also take into consideration network traffic. at 4-10pm here i can barely hit 7mb on 20mb..
You can get boosters if u want to be sure..

ps id stop forcing altogether mate. as u wont be able to for much longer, just stick to the config assigned to the mac.

that signal is fine, ideally wants to be between 0 and -5 but anywhere in the region of +15 to -12ish is ok.

SNR however is a diff story. it must be above 30

I stand corrected. I read it was 6-8 but id trust what G77 says.

poor signal. snr needs to be more. power level is weak too. do you have any probs with it loosing sync?

whats the tuners on the v+ say?

also, do you loose picture on bbc1/2?

It has dropped a couple of times yeah, no the box has been fine mate. I have this modem connected upstairs through a splitter so that is probably affecting it. I have a subbed modem downstairs and two boxes going as well - a V+ and a Samsung 2110C.
