Downstream sync speed

[#1]

I have replaced the face plate, as suggested by @RealAleMadrid (thanks) and the sync speed has remained at 40mbps. I will monitor it and report back if the speed drops again, might save the engineer a visit 🤞🏻

@kidneybean1965  That's looking good, no need for an engineer at the moment.  The DLM reset should have caused a resync but sometimes it seems to get stuck and a manual resync sorts it out.

I can assure you that it does not work on VDSL at the MRKNU exchange. Speed dropped again today but not as much as previously. Upstream stays stable.

I'm replying because I CAN NOT FIND HOW TO POST. WHere is POST NEW THREAD?

I am having some kind of weird throttling maybe issue. Speed test is GOOD. 40MB/S. But downloads for critical updates from Ubuntu of 1/20 of that.

@dcdc To start your own topic, click the big pink 'new topic' button at the top of each board. The downloads will be subject to the capabilities of the Ubuntu servers, and where are you determining these from?

I use Linux Mint, which you may be aware is based on Ubuntu, and uses Ubuntu servers for some of its updates.

I have not experienced any issues with any updates on a regular basis - sometimes, (very occasionally), it slows down a bit - but I just try again a bit later and all is OK.

My broadband syncs at the full 80/20 and updates usually show as downloading at around 8M - usually between 7 and 9.

In Linux Mint there is a facility to select which mirrors you use. The defaults seem to be in the USA and can be slow. I don't know if there is something similar in Ubuntu? (In Mint, it is under "Software Sources".

The facility to select servers is available on all Linux flavours, and I usually find a UK or W. European one is best. BTW I use Zorin.
