Can i get any more speed from my connection?

Question

hi i was wondering if anyone could tell me if i could squeeze any more out of my connection. the short up time is due to me changing my filter. prior to that i had a solid 22 day connection. any advice would be great here is my stats:
Download speedachieved during the test was - 7.7 Mbps
 For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 4 Mbps-21 Mbps.
 IP Profile for your line is - 8.46 Mbps
Upload speed achieved during the test was - 1Mbps
 Additional Information:
 Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 0.83 Mbps

It depends on the connection Keith. When I was switched over to 21CN, my connection initially synced at 19759Kbps with the 6dB profile. However when the DLM tryed my connection on the 3dB Profile, it jumped up to 22111Kbps. That's over a 2 meg jump in speed which to some would make the difference. That would be a fifth more sync speed for mshaw43488 if it increased by 2 Meg.
Looking at mshaw43488's connection, I think I'd have to agree with you on the errors bit.
The number of errors (FEC) which his connection has suffered in 17 minutes is about the maximum of what I'd tolerate on my connection if it had interleaving enabled.
Mshaw43488, What I would suggest is to leave your connection synced for about 10 days and post back your stats after that so we can see how many errors have occured in a 10 day period.
Obviously the 3dB profile is your choice but depending on the errors in that 10 day period would depend on whether it is recommended or not as a 3dB profile can really cause your connection to suffer in reliability and performance if it can't handle it.
Only reason I recommend this is because sometimes a bulk load of errors can occur when the modem initially syncs which *may* be what has been recorded.
Also the DLM has you on Interleaving judging by the FEC errors which may be another reason not to lower the SNR.
