- I moved into GTE country recently and have been getting lousy
- connect speed on V.34 calls, never above 21.6 on Rx. I am about
- 22000 feet from the central office. A friend of mine who lives
- closer to the CO gets much better throughput, 28k most of the
- time.
-
- It has been suggested that loading coils used on longer drops
- prevent V.34 from reaching its advertised speed.
-
- Or it may be some other problem. I've tried some of the other
- lines into this location with similar results. Normally, I do
- not hear noise or other impairments on any of these lines on
- voice calls. (Some of the lines have been intermittently out of
- order, usually several at a time.)
-
- So what's the skinny on V.34? Can one expect a V.34 to
- get good 28k connects on real world loaded phone lines?
