I still have my comcast line up, so I switched the ethernet port back to my comcast setup and the packet loss was gone. I opted to check out and sure enough, it kept dropping at least one packet every test. So, I was going to just ignore it, but then while playing an online game, I noticed lag spikes caused by packet loss and it was pretty severe ones. I wanted to talk to him, because the modem kept retraining and this morning DSL Line 1 was at 89mbits down and 1.5mbits up and DSL Line 2 was 89mbits down and 3.5mbits up. I opted to sleep on it and see if the tech showed up the next day.
I don't care much about the lower upload speed too much, but that seems like a sign to me of bad things to come. DSL Line 2 was trained at 89/bits down and 5mbits up (basically what it should be). The SNR for down was ~9db, and the SNR for upload was like ~6db. The modem showed DSL Line 1 trained at 89/mbits down, and 2.5mbits up. One thing I knew from my past experience with DSL is that it seems innately more susceptible to connection issues and packet loss than say, cable. I was able to setup my new account and then promptly logged into the modem to check out the stats.
He left and I decided that I would just plug it all in and see what happens. He currently had the modem plugged outside of the the house and said "I'll come back tomorrow, but plug this in inside and see if somehow it magically works, sometimes it does. He ran into several issues, was here a few hours (great guy by the way) and eventually hit the end of his shift.
#Century link it install
Just yesterday, I had the tech out to install the same DSL service here. A tech had to come out a few times over a few months period and eventually did a bunch of stuff on the outside to boost the signal. It works great at my other house after some teething issues. That is the DSL Bonded 80mbits download and 10mbits upload. I have ordered the same service that I have at my other residence, just 5 miles away.
