High speed DSL !?

hi all
I know DSL uses ATM for its for its connection,
but what about high speed DSL which is above 100MB ??
does it still use ATM ?
thanks,

You don't look at the ATM protocol.  You look at your router.  If you want a modem that will support 100 Mbps, then a small router like 890 (as an example) won't support this speed.  
You need to have a big router, like a 3945 to support 100 Mbps.  That is, of course, you can find an EHWIC card which will support vectoring.   Currently, there's no Cisco modules available to support vectoring.  Don't know when it'll come out.  I guess Cisco is still listening out to see if it's worthwhile developing something like this.

  • Question about high speed DSL

    I have had high speed DSL 1.5 MB service since 8/20. Up until last night I was in love with the service. It was running between 600 and 1000KBPS excededing my expectations.
    Then last night around 9:45pm it got extremely slow. I am talking 23.3KBPS on the bandwidth test I was able to run from CNET. I followed the instructions in the tech support and power cycled my modem and PC. I checked all connections and they were secure. The DSL light is solid which from what I have read here means I have a connection.
    Would rain/thunderstorms cause an issue? We have had a large amount of rain since Saturday.
    I am just frustrated with this issue.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ok..
    Please post the modem status from your modem.
    #1 If you have no idea of what I mean, since I have no idea of how old or new your Westell 6100 is, I point you to All DSLR (.dslreports.com) FAQs » Verizon Online DSL FAQ » 4. Hardware -> How do I use a router with the Westell 6100?
    #2 When there, notice that they talk about the white and blue Westell Firmware and the red and black Westell firmare.
    Please only answer my question - Do NOT attempt to do what they tell you to do there, at this time.
    Which one, do you have?

  • High Speed DSL connectivity issues.

    Hi. I have connectivity issues with the High Speed DSL internet connection. I have had internet service with you guys for almost a year now, and since day one, I have had connectivity issues. In the past, the connection would drop once every few days, and about once every two weeks I would need to restart the modem in order to get my connection back.
    I have restarted my router countless times, and even done a factory reset on the router a number of times as well.
    The past two days, my internet connection has been worse than ever, with the connection being dropped about once every five minutes. And, while the connection was up, my browsing, video, and email loading times were very slow.
    The internet light on the modem is constantly flashing, even when I am connected.
    The gateway status info page refreshes 4-5 times a minute.
    I dont know if any of the following info will help. I would like to continue with Verizon as my ISP, but if the connection issues continue, I will have to change services.
    I have the Actiontec GT708WNV modem.
    The gateway status info is:
    Gateway ParameterStatus
    Firmware Version:
    GT784WN-VZ-1.1.6
    Model Number:
    GT784WNV
    Serial Number:

    Step one: Visit http://www.giganews.com/line_info.html and post up the Traceroute the page shows, if you wish. Be aware that the final hop (bottom-most line of the trace)  might contain a hop with your IP address in it. Remove that line. What I'm looking for is a line that mentions "ERX" in it's name towards the end. If for some reason the trace does not complete (two lines full of Stars), keep the trace route intact.
    Step two: Can you provide the Transceiver Statistics from your modem?
    As to where that is, it seems to be at
    STATUS > WAN STATUS.

  • PlayStatio​n3 Online W/ Verizon High-Speed DSL

    I am getting  Verizon DSL High Speed Internet due to the fact that FIOS is not yet available in my location. My question is what kind of speed will i recieve with the PS3 Online set-up. I am using a wireless router to connect my playstation 3. I am wondering what kind of speed i will recieve and if i will recieve any lag????

     NO simple answer!
    What speed you get depends on 3 things:
    1). How much you pay. You can order 1mbs, 3mbs or 7mbps service
    Each represents a maximum speed, and a different price.
    2). How far are you from the Central office.
    (7mbps is only available if you are fairly close to the CO)
    3). The quality and condition of the copper pair between your premises and the CO.
    You can be next door to the CO, but if the copper pair stinks, so will the DSL data rate.
    Ultimately your speed will the the lower of either
    The speed Verizon provisioned you for (what you ordered)
    or
    The Highest speed the Modem can successfully negotiate with the CO equipment.
    For many users those are the same, but if you are toward the edge of the DSL 'footprint', you can order 3mbps, but you the copper pair length/quality may limit you to something considerable lower that may even be sensitive to changes in weather.
    Once you are connected, you can look at the connection information on the modem/router, and it will tell you the data rates in both directions from the CO.

  • VERIZON CHANGED HIGH SPEED DSL AT CENTRAL OFFICE AFTER I HAD 7.840 MBPS FOR MORE THAN 10 MONTHS!!!

    ALL OF THE SUDDEN VERIZON DECIDES IN LATE APRIL THAT I SHOULD HAVE 7.1 MBPS INSTEAD OF THE 7.840 MBPS I HAVE BEEN HAVING FOR MORE THAN 10 MONTHS. AS A MATTER OF FACT, AFTER A LOT OF DISCONNECTIONS SUFFERED IN MARCH/APRIL 2012 BECAUSE VERIZON WAS DOING SOMETHING IN THEIR CENTRAL OFFICE WITHOUT TELLING TO THEIR CUSTOMERS, AND HAVING TO REPLACE ALL OF THE DSL FILTERS, AND TWO MODEMS... I GOT THE D-LINK WORKING AT 7.840 MBPS. AS A MATTER OF FACT, VERIZON TECHNICIAN CAME TO MY HOME AND WE DID INSTALL THE NEW MODEM AT THAT VERY SPEED, WHICH WAS AGREED MORE THAN 1 YEAR AGO AFTER DOING A LOT OF TESTING TO ENSURE THE STABILITY IN THE CONNECTION. ALL OF THE SUDDEN, AFTER THE 20-DAY HONEYMOON WITH MY NEW MODEM, I NOTICED THAT MY SPEED WAS NOT THE SAME, AND FOUND OUT THAT THE IP WAS CHANGED AND THE SPEED SETTING DROPPED TO 7.1 MBPS. NOW VERIZON CLAIMS THAT MY CONTRACT WAS FOR A MAXIMUM OF 7.1 MBPS WHICH IS NOT TRUE BECAUSE I WAS IN THE 7-15 MBPS RANGE!!! AS A MATTER OF FACT I COULD GO EVEN OVER 8 MBPS BUT BECAUSE OF MY LOCATION, RELATIVELY FAR AWAY FROM THE CENTRAL OFFICE AND AFTER A LOT OF TESTING, 7.840 MBPS WAS THE MOST CONVENIENT SPEED. VERIZON CHANGES THEIR POLICIES NOT NOTIFYING THE CUSTOMERS, THEY DO WORK INTERRUPTING THE SERVICE WITHOUT NOTIFYING. I AM GOING TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT THEY DO IN THIS CASE. IF THIS IS NOT SOLVED PROPERLY... GOOD BYE VERIZON, AND HELLO TIME WARNER CABLE!!! SO, VERIZON BE PREPARED TO LOSE ANOTHER LOYAL CUSTOMER FOR MORE THAN 9 YEARS!!! THAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH VERIZON, THEY ARE SO DEDICATED TO GET NEW CUSTOMERS THAT FORGET ABOUT THEIR OLD LOYAL ONES... UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES... AND THOSE ARE THAT YOU WILL LOSE THE OLD ONES SOON BECAUSE YOUR LACK OF CARE ABOUT THEM!!! ONCE YOU ARE HOOKED WITH VERIZON, THEY THINK THEY GOTCHA FOREVER... LET'S WAIT AND SEE...

    Believe or not... That 20% does make a difference... In one of my games, I used to have 5.3 secs of response time, now it does not lower from 7.8. By the way, even my PC worked faster  when I had that little higher speed... I know the changes were done without my knowledge because for a period of 2 weeks I got lot of unstability in my connection that I never got for years before... After 20 days with the first IP assigned to the new modem, the speed dropped like Verizon was running a program to levelize such an speed.
    At the end, what really bothers me, is that the 7.840 Mbps was a speed agreed with Verizon, their technicians, their supervisors at the CO, and it was fully documented, and all of the sudden because an "internal change in their policies" that agreement was broken... I am currently making arrangements to have FIOS installed at home, subject to an scouting visit from Verizon to evaluate the feasibility of its installation according to my internal wiring limitations. I have to give them a try... No doubt that it would me cheaper and much faster than the high speed enhanced internet connection that I currently have. Let's wait and see...
    Thank you for your interest in my case and observations made too.

  • Internet by high-speed DSL cable and two computers sharing the cable

    I have a DSL cable going to my computer. It is high speed 100mbps internet. There was a modem supplied but I do not use it. I just stick the cable which comes out of the wall into the computer using the USB ethernet connector.
    When I plugged the DSL cable into the modem then connected the modem to my computer, the internet speed was slower (about 30 mbps) so I did not do that.
    If I want to use wireless internet though I do have to use the modem.
    When the service provider technician came to my home to hook everything up, he said something about purchasing a router from him. He said that way I can have multiple computers using into the internet.
    Since I only had the one computer at the time, I did not take him up on his offer.
    Now, I want to use two computers––two MacBook Airs––using the cable. I prefer the cable to wireless because it's very fast.
    Before I go and buy any equipment, I want to know what I need.
    Do I buy just a router and then put the cable that comes out from the wall into a socket and then connect the other two computers to the router, or do I need to get a modem as well?
    Just to remind you that when the modem is connected to the computer, the speed drops a lot even though the cable is connected to the modem.
    If I need a modem, do I need to buy a special modem or is the one that I have good enough?
    Sorry, if this sounds like a basic question but I don't really know much about routers and modems. I surfed the internet a bit on this but I still am not sure what to do.

  • High speed DSL is very slow

    Hi I am barely getting dailup speeds (Verizon speed tests 74k download and 14k upload) on my HS DSL. I've put up with slow speeds for a while but I just can not put up with it any longer. If things do not improve soon I will be forced to go to cable. Youtube is unwatchable, downloads take forever.  I am using a westell 327 modem.  Any ideas on how to get the promised bandwidth would be apprecated.

    Which means
    Visit http://192.168.1.1/ for me and do the following:
    a) If you see a Blue and White Westell page, mouse over [b]Troubleshooting[/b], go to [b]DSL[/b], and choose [b]Transceiver Statistics[/b]. Copy and paste the information on that page.
    b) If using the Red and Black Firmware: Go to [b]System Monitoring > Advanced Monitors > Transceiver Statistics[/b]. Copy and paste the information on that page.
    c) Try visiting http://192.168.1.1/transtat.htm which is a direct link to the Stats on older modems.
    d) If you need a Username and Password, try the following:
    admin/password
    admin/password1
    admin/admin
    admin/admin1
    admin/[b]Serial Number[/b].
    By [b]Serial Number[/b], I don't mean type in the words [b]Serial Number[/b]. I mean find and type in the serial number found on the bottom of this router.

  • Anyone know how to hook up two computers to High Speed DSL using one modem?

    any insight is appreciated

    I agree about the wireless part as I also have the 6100G modem/router.  There were no details in the posting about the specific hardware and there are several available with and without wireless.

  • Can a G4 Desktop OS 8.6 be hooked up to cable modem high speed?

    Can anyone help me set up my apple G4 desktop os 8.6 to work with a high speed cable modem to get internet access?

    Hi Gepicou
    In a word yes, your G4 will definitely support a high speed DSL connection - I'm writing to you on a 7300 powerPC mac I've just dusted off, sent to a repair shop where they set her up for my 512Ko line. I'm deep in the countryside so I don't get a powerful signal, but all is fine. The modem is a Thompson 510 (ethernet).
    Normally I use my present Powerbook running on Panther, and since I'm going to England for work reasons, I'm leaving my partner with my old (and dear) Mac to use.
    You could try the forum "Mac OS 10.3" > getting online - loads of folk there have used OS9 before, and have experience in newer connections that weren't really around when OS8 or 9 were still mainly in use.
    Otherwise, if you get your running orders from that forum, take your G4 to a technician - mine configured the modem in 20 minutes, it cost me 20 euros...
    Good luck!

  • Verizon DSL - High "Speed (down/up)" Low connection rate

    Hello -
    I am doing this for myin-laws, who live in a semi-rural area.  They have Verizon DSL, and have been having very slow connection speeds for the past few months (they have the 1.5-3 Mbps, and are getting between 200-700 kpbs.  Sometimes, for a few seconds, it can get as high as 1.1 Mbps, but it never gets to 1.5.
    I have tried lots of things.  We got a new modem, reset the D-Link router to factory settings, plugged the modem directly into the desktop, rebooted everything, then rebooted again, called Verizon and talked with their overseas people, who said they would have someone look at it.
    Everything, no dice. So I'm not sure what to do. 
    Here's one thing I noticed, however.  When I go into the Modem sign in screen, and look at it (It's the Red sign in, not the Blue, on a Westell 6000 DSL modem), they get a very high "Speed (down/up)" level.  Something like 1740 down, and 500-something up.
    But the actual downloads are nothing like that.
    Is that significant to anything? 
    My other situation is that I am not at their computer now (I am back in the city).  When I left their place, I did not know about these boards, and I can't remember any of the other information that is from the modem sign-in.  That one piece, however, seemed strange to me (a high "Speed (down/up)" level, but slow reality.
    As you think about it, could that lead to any clues or solutions I should look for the next time I go up there?
    Thanks for reading this.

    The closest proper sync rate that the modem would show for speed would be 1792/448Kbps, which would be the 1.5Mbps provisioning of the 1.5-3Mbps package. Verizon usually configures the speed lower if the line is not capable of holding a full 3Mbps or even an "optimized" flavor of it (which is ~2600kbps down, 640kbps up). Anyways, the next time you get the chance, I'm going to need the following information from their line:
    1: What do their modem Transceiver Statistics look like? If running a Westell modem, visit http://192.168.1.1/ , choose System Monitoring, Advanced Monitors and then click Transceiver Statistics. Post up what you see there. For ActionTec modems, check the Status pages of the ActionTec for DSL Stats. The address to ActionTecs are the same.
    2: Find out if the slow speeds are taking place all the time, or only during the evening hours
    3: Go to http://visualroute.visualware.com on their PC and choose the closest server to them. Let the Java applet load, and when it does it will show you a "Trace" box with your relative's IP address filled in. Press Trace and let it complete. When it completes, move the mouse over the second-last Circle (second from the right) and take down the name of it. If you see "ERX" in the name, please tell me.
    If you are prompted for a Username/Password while doing Step 1, try the following:
    admin/password
    admin/password1
    admin/admin
    admin/admin1
    ========

  • I chat freezes after switching to high speed cable

    3 weeks ago we purchased a new I Mac and set up I chat video conferencing with an AIM account. It worked well, with only a few break-ups in the video. At that time we were using a DSL connection-our buddy (Mom) a 2 yr. old I Mac on high speed cable. We switched to high speed cable 2 weeks ago and from that point on I Chat hasn't worked. We connect for a second and then the picture freezes and we get an error msg. We have had our "Mac Doc" out twice and talked to the cable guys- everyone seems stumped and so far nothing has helped. Any ideas on how we can fix this would be greatly appreciated.

  • How do I setup high speed internet on Sun Solaris 10?

    Hello,
    I have comcast high speed internet. It doesn't work automatically. How can I setup my high speed internet connection to work with Sun Solaris 10?
    Mateusz

    Pickup a broadband router, made by dlink, linksys, netgear, SMC or Cisco. If possible get a wireless with 4 port switch built in. This will give you added flexibility if you happen to get another system or a wireless laptop. You want a gateway router that does NAT, SPI firewall, DHCP.
    Plug it into your cable modem then into your sun box, default settings on the router will generally self configure to the broadband you connect to and there will be no problems. However if you are using a DSL or bigpond they require a username and password to get the line active, this requires an initial login to the firewall to pick PPoE on the WAN side.
    Different brands default to different 'non routeable' internal IP's, all are 192.168.x.x, smc defaults to 192.168.1.x or 192.168.2.x depending on release date, Linksys defaults to 192.168.2.x as does linksys, Netgear defaults to 192.168.1.x, the owners manual will usually tell you this.
    They are generally made to default to a windows box so configuring a unix box has to be done either manually or with the dhcp option. www.dslreports.com has alot of good vendor specific information on configuring these things.
    At any rate you need to create a file in /etc called 'defaultrouter' with the routers IP address, in the smc case it would be 192.168.2.1, pick a couple of outside DNS servers and put them in a file in /etc called resolv.conf in the format
    nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    copy nsswitch.dns nsswitch.conf
    pick an address in the 192.168.2 range like .25 and add it in the /etc/hosts file, create a hostname.hme0 file with the host name thats in the hosts file and reboot.
    Then try to ping the router, if no ping then the chang the 3td octet 1 instead of 2 and try again.
    I've never tried doing the .dhcp thing but I've never used dhcp for a sun box before because all I do is servers.
    I think I'd try the DHCP thing first then get to the router to get all it's information and write it down. Usually the ISP will populate the router with dns servers and any dns requests are answered by the router in the dhcp configuration. I think thats about it...

  • Unable to activate my high speed internet account with a mac os 10.5

    I have a big problem with the activation of my line. I have subscribed to high speed internet.
    The agent came to my house to install the jack but when I'm trying to run the installation on my computer with the cd or directly with internet it's stops when smart acces opens (I have a Mac OS X 10.5). Could somebody help me ? Thanks

    In almost all cases, internet is "plug and play" on newer computers.
    If you need to install filters, they need to go between the phone and the jack for every phone you have on the same line as the DSL. The modem does not get a filter.
    If you need to set up your username and password, you will need to log in with your default Verizon-assigned id. If you were not given this, then contact tech support and ask for your "vzid" and have them reset your password. You should then be able to log into verizon.net and click on the My Account page. On the My Account page, you can set your username, create sub accounts, manage your billing, add an alias to your account, etc.
    Does that cover what you needed, or is there something more?

  • Switching to High Speed

    Since I am in a rural area dial-up was my only option until this week. I've just switched over to high-speed (ADSL). Its fabulous and I've only been on for about 45 minutes. My question is regarding security. With dial-up it was a non-issue, I didn't load sites with lots of graphics, pictures, video etc. And it would have been impossible to download security updates anyway. But I am sure my kids will be on all kinds of social networking and gaming sites now, and I will be doing banking, online purchases, email and tax returns on this computer.
    Any advise would be very appreciated.

    Well, consider in addition solutions like time-based access list (internet access allowed at only specific hours) or content filtering (some sites are denied).
    About host security: maybe you perceive dial-up is more secure since you arent always on, but in fact, you are exposed to internet just like a common DSL. This is especially true if you use a modem...

  • Road Runner High Speed Connection

    Road Runner High Speed is supposed to provide me with 5 megabits per sec but I'm only getting 4.7 megabits. Is that considered too small an amount of difference to matter? I don't want to have to wait all day for a technician to come over and give me a new modem if it doesn't make much difference. A friend of mine says that I'm "sharing" the 5 megabits with everyone who has Road Runner in my building and that's why it's less than 5 megabits. Is this the case? To measure your speed of your internet connection go to speakeasy.net for a free test.

    You are getting the full speed. 4.7 MBs per sec on a 5 Mbps line is outstanding. The missing amount is due to overhead.
    Your friend is partly correct. Cable internet is a "shared" service. The more users online the less bandwidth each user receives. However, RR has been very good about providing adequate bandwidth to maintain throughput by adding more servers when the user load increases. But this is not the reason your throughput speed is slightly below 5 Mbps. About that your friend is way off base. This is in contrast to DSL whose speed is a function of distance from the server. The farther you are from the server the slower the speed. However, DSL is usually slower than cable for the same cost of service.

Maybe you are looking for
