I have a cottage with a 3Mbit DSL service and the DSL service is
rock solid.
The back haul from the fiber connect point on the other hand is
little better than 2 tin cans and a string.
How does one test the DSL service between customer and CO only?
Is that a ping test? Am I misunderstanding everything (again)?
I'm just trying to understand how to go about it should I find myself
in similar circumstances.
The DSL modems usually have a nice collection of statistics.
Things like error rates, re-connections, signal to noise ratios.
Looking through these you can get a good feel for the quality of the line.
Also for a number of years I had access to Bells DSL line testing
service because I was running an ISP.
It took a few years to figure out what was going on.
My first assumption was that it was last mile phone line issues because
it seemed to change with the weather but I eventually realized that it
related to the likelihood of people being inside trying to use an
internet connection.
