Fusion activated today on my line. I am 7700 feet away from CO according to Sonic.net's calculation. I am using Actiontec GT701D ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+ Modem/Gateway and the firmware has been updated to the latest version. I used to get about 5Mbps(630K/s) out of AT&T's 6Mbps/768kbps Elite DSL. Now with fusion, I get a little bump on the speed(6.3Mbps). I would expect a little more upgrading to Fusion. I called Tech support asking them to adjust SNR on my line to see if I can get a little more speed out of it but was told my line is already at its optimal setting. I've tested using speedtest.net at every single walljacks in my house and the NID outside the house. All came back with similar downstream/upstream speed. I assume my wiring in the house is okay. Is there anything else I can do to boost my speed? Thank you for your answer.
6.9 mbps is fairly slow for being 7,700 feet out. If you are getting slow speeds at the NID, there are main two options that could cause that. The first is that there is a problem on the external wiring (which would be AT&T's responsibility to fix). The second option is that AT&T has archived data in their database and you are further than 7,700 feet out. The only way to find this out is to give customer support a call and we can verify that your distance is accurate.
I hope this helps!
