On good days I can get almost 2.5Mbits streaming ... wooo-hoo!
On one exceptional occassion I managed 3.5Mbits for almost two days before the connection went pear-shaped again !
The recently (Jan16) installed NBN FTTN box is literally JUST around the corner ... oh pleeeeease!
Setting the SNR
AFTER much experimental tweaking of the SNR setting to get the best balance btween speed and stability, the sweet spot for me seems to be an SNR of 3.5 or 3.4 which gets me as close as possible to the Attainable Rate (Kbps) ... anything less than that and the RS Uncorrectable Errors start to go through the roof and the real data throughput falls away badly.
SNR tweaking via URL
I found the following reference useful to copy and paste into the url rather than having to browse and enter through the UI, or when it won't let you put less than 1 in via the UI.(obviously you use the correct IP address for your router)
6 – http://192.168.1.254/snr.cmd?snr=96
5 – http://192.168.1.254/snr.cmd?snr=80
4 – http://192.168.1.254/snr.cmd?snr=64
3 – http://192.168.1.254/snr.cmd?snr=48
2 – http://192.168.1.254/snr.cmd?snr=32
1 – http://192.168.1.254/snr.cmd?snr=16
==== following can only be entered via URL not the UI =====
0.5 - http://192.168.1.254/snr.cmd?snr=8
0.3 - http://192.168.1.254/snr.cmd?snr=4
0.1 - http://192.168.1.254/snr.cmd?snr=2
Other router url's I've found useful include:
http://192.168.1.254/wan_trafficReceive.html - inbound WAN traffic being pulled downhttp://192.168.1.254/snr.html - the SNR tweaking UI page
http://192.168.1.254/statusadsl.html - as shown below
http://192.168.1.254/t3g.html - 3/4G USB dongle stats, including signal strength
http://192.168.1.254/dhcpinfo.html - the routers DHCP lease table
http://192.168.1.254/arpview.cmd - the routers ARP table
http://192.168.1.254/wol.html - the routers Wake On LAN page

For a long time (years) I've only been able to get about 4MBps ADSL at home. I recently paid an electrician to replace the telephone wiring in the house with quality (Cat6) cabling.. This cost about $300 and immediately after the replacement I was able to sync at 10.5Mbps. It was a surprising result given that at soon as it leaves the house it goes back to the dodgy old Telstra copper cabling, but obviously the phone cabling in the house was causing a serious degradation in the line quality.
