How does distance from the telephone exchange affect me?
Background ADSL broadband is dependent on the electrical characteristics of your telephone line. Or to explain it another way, the operation of ADSL is affected by the amount of 'noise' on your line. This noise is not necessarily audible when you make a telephone call, but it can have a detrimental effect on a digital service such as broadband. As a rule of thumb, the further you are from your exchange - i.e. the longer the physical length of the cabling between the exchange and your premises - the more 'noisy' your line is likely to be. However, noise can also come from other sources such as interference from electrical equipment within your premises or even from the house or office next door. Until recently, the ability to order broadband was restricted to premises which were no further than 6km (in terms of cable length) from their exchange. This was judged to be a 'safe' distance where noise levels would be unlikely to affect the provision of broadband service. The only restriction was that lines between about 3.5km and 6km long would not be able to support the higher speed services. A series of trials has shown that it is now possible to provide broadband on lines with much higher levels of noise, albeit subject to certain restrictions. The main restriction on very long lines is again the speed of product you are able to order - it all comes down to the level of noise on your line. Noise is measured in decibels (dB). Generally, lines that have noise of less than 43dB are able to receive all speeds of products (i.e. up to 8Mb). When the noise levels go above 43dB you are unlikely to be able to receive the higher speed service. Once they go above 60dB, there is a possibility that you will not be able to receive broadband at all. Line Attenuation This is a measure of how much the signal has degraded between the DSLAM and your modem/router, and is largely a function of the distance from the exchange (bigger distances mean higher attenuation). Maximum signal loss recommendation is usually about 60dB. The lower the dB the better for this measurement. * 20dB and below is outstanding * 20dB-30dB is excellent * 30dB-40dB is very good * 40dB-50dB is good * 50dB-60dB is poor and may experience connectivity issues * 60dB or above is bad and will experience connectivity issues Note: From a user perspective, there very little you can do to change the line attenuation of your current connection. How does distance affect broadband? At long range, noise on the copper wire makes it harder to get maximum data performance. For ADSL, the maximum range for 2Mbps downloads is 3.5km. For 1Mbps it is 6.0km. In theory all connected customers would be able to receive at least 512kbps downloads. In practice around 5% of customers will not be able to achieve even this level of performance. SDSL suffers from even more severe distance limitations. My distance from the active Exchange is : 8km Line Attenuation is: 63/31 db 128
Technical Support / COD: Black Ops - How does it run for you?« on: January 01, 2011, 12:35:26 PM »
When I first started playing it, the PC lag was crazy & the game would crash every 2 or 3 maps.
Most of the lag would come when in a fire fight, However, I have formated my computer and re-installed the game and it runs very smooth now. Maxed out on graphics is a bit choppy so I am not on full graphics at the moment. 129
