You line right up on the blue line w/53m max sync and 20 db noise margin on SomeJoe's chart if you click on the solution on page 1.

Cool yeah just making sure the FECs and CRCs are normal considering the lightning. The line man has some software on his laptop that can measure the exact distance of the line, including the exact route it takes from the VRAD to my house. It said 750 feet but maybe it's not totally correct.

As long as the CRCs (uncorrected blocks) occured during the lightning and are not a normal situation. Even though I've had plenty of lightning, including one last summer that was real close and flash/thunder were at exact same time, I've never had an uncorrected block in 21 months on Uverse due to lightning. ![]()

You don't have enough headroom max syncing 27.8M on a 25/2M profile. Actually need about 32-33M for stable 25/2M profiles in most cases. A product of your distance from the VRAD, have a hunch your max sync has been dropping a bit after Uverse downloads. ![]()

Up until just today when I reset the system when it desynched it had been getting 31-32M. Even then it was still having to retrain every 24-36 hours.

That's why they had you on the 25/2 profile, I would call TS and they might see something. It should not be doing all this retraining, use the # in my sig and press 2 for TS, good luck. ![]()

Is my results. I was told when first went to Uverse that there was a line tap. Had two different techs stop by to tell me that it was still there and they would request a line tech look into this. Never heard back from either them or the line tech. Can anyone decipher the test results and tell me if this fits a pattern for any known issues?
Thanks

Ya, looks like a bridge tap to me, but looks to be a long one. This could possibly be bridged fairly far back up the line, away from your house.

Textbook, with the exception of that one drop off at around tone #300.
Download U-Verse Realtime (link in my signature), install it, go to the bitloading tab and hover your mouse over that drop to get the actual frequency.
That is probably an AM radio station near you. Go to www.radio-locator.com and put in your zip code and see if there's an AM radio station on that frequency and see how far away the transmitter tower is. I bet it's less than 5 miles away.

The first time I tried to get U-verse the tech couldn't get a good enough signal. The reason given was that I am too far from the VRAD ( I forgot what the measurement the line guy told me). Six months later they tried again, after another round of door to door sales, and the tech did some things and got it to work.
So here is a livin on the edge of no service link.

Do I have any options? Pair bonding? Removing a dozen bridges
?

Think pair bonding will help alot in your case as you are living right on the edge w/no headroom for comfort. ![]()

You have a bridge tap in that line also. Removing that alone will probably improve your max rate by at least 5 Mbps.

Joe, I downloaded the latest update of the Uverse Realtime app, and I noticed I could see 3 of my stbs and what channels they were on with the wireless laptop. However, I didn't see the dvr stb in the list. I also noticed that the dvr info was not listed. I am just pointing this out, I figured you already know. Just making mention of it. I do see it when I use the computer that is connected wired to the RG.

I can't guarantee that everything will work properly on UVRT with wireless because different wireless cards handle the multicast traffic very differently.
I know that most of the Intel wireless chipsets built into many laptops will work pretty good. I have reports of other wireless chipsets working OK also. But I also have seen ones that don't work at all and ones that only work partially. It completely depends on the manufacturer's drivers and how they handle multicast over wireless.

Distance-wise it looks fine, and there appears to be no bridge taps.
However, there is some interference at the 1.0 MHz point. This could be a close AM radio station or some other type of electronic device that's interfering. Doesn't look like it's really affecting your service, though.

Zeonis, put your cursor right in the very middle of that point about 1000khz to find the frequency, then go to radio locator to find the station.
I have 760 WJR and 800 CKLW hit my bitloading chart here in metro Detroit, but no problems from them. ![]()

I checked my bitloading again and found the interference is now less. Based on radio-locator.com it would appear I am getting interference from 1050 AM KTCT which is 3.9 miles away and 1100 AM KFAX which is 4.9 miles away. I would think that I would get interference also from 860 AM KTRB which is 4.8 miles away but I don't see that it is showing up in the bitloading. Here is another screenshot...

W/o seeing the chart yet, might be night time antenna orientation away from you. KTCT has a smaller night time footprint, KFAX doesn't have a coverage map, but is 50,000 watts 24 hours. It may hit you w/lower signal strength though at night time. ![]()
Edit: Looking at your original bitloading chart I clearly see a spike at 860 kHz for KTRB, it has a night time change too.

Looks good NorthLine Tony, you're getting hit by WJR (760), just down the street from you, but shouldn't affect any service. I see it a bit less over here in Grosse Pointe Park, but also see CKLW (800) in mine, but no problems. ![]()

No, you will not be able to get the 3HD profile (currently).
Technically, you shouldn't really even be on the 2HD profile, but if it's working OK you might want to leave it.
There are rumors circulating that everyone will get one additional HD channel added soon, and if you currently have 2HD, you may end up with 3. But I'm not sure how well your system is going to work if you attempt to eatch 3HD channels simultaneously. Your line issues may cause problems at that point.
