Also my pings have gone back to something resembling what I was getting when I first joined all those years ago.

So, am I now in a training period? Are my stats likely to go up (or down)?
From what I understand, ADSL2+ is rate adaptive, so it's always likely to vary a bit.
Glad you're happy so far. :tbumb:
Yup very happy so far. :fingers: ;D
My connection halted just now and my 2700 advised a restart, which I did. My downs have gone down but my ups have gone up.

I think that's in the spec, but not the BT implementation. Surprise, surprise...
I've tried a few speed tests and they aren't that great.
The different tester's overall results vary but are individually consistent. (can't get on to the BT tester at all)
thinkbroadband came in with a lowball (http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest/results/id/124635859811219717518.html)...
... while speedtest.net came back with a higher (http://www.speedtest.net/result/506861507.png) guesstimate.
Looking good! THe change in pings suggests that it was indeed BT with the problem.
As for the speed, it may well be that your profile needs time to catch up with your sync.
The stats look good. Do a BT speed test if you can so we can see the profile.
I've found that the best time to get on the BT test site is around 8.30am, never seems to be busy then.
I've finally managed to get it to work....

Your DSL connection rate: 9920 kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 960 kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP profile for your line is - 7150 kbps
Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 6693 kbps
That shows that your profile us still the maximum available prior to the switch. Hopefully it should sort itself out within five days of change over but if it doesn't contact support.
The profile should go up to 8000k for that sync. :)
Well that's 2k more than I had before. :)
My connection has been quite flakey all day. I take it that's just everything settling down yeah?

More than likely. Mine was all over the shop for the first couple of days. Then it settled right down and has been stable for several days now.

Apart from the connection rates, this is exactly where I was 2 months ago.
That's because the profile is wrong due to the instability. Once things settle down, the profile will adjust and your throughput will reflect the increased sync. :)
I'm such a Jessie about all this aren't I. ;D
:zip: :)x
I'm honestly trying not to worry here :whistle: but things just don't seem to be getting any better... and how come my pings have gone back to 45ms surely they are separate from my profile?
All these test were done within 5 minutes of each other.

I had similar problems myself especially with throughput, which just went lower and lower. Went back to adsl max and throughput is getting back to normal at last. Any way good luck.

The sync has changed between the time you copied that information from the router and did the speed test. It looks like your main problem is instability. Remind me, have you tried the test socket/removing ring wires?
I'm still plugged directly into the test socket since the malarkey a few weeks back.
Oh yes, apologies, I lose track. :blush: ;D
Clearly there's something wrong with your line, but I don't know what to suggest if BT won't do anything. Have you contacted IDNet to see if they can suggest anything?
No worries man.
Not yet. I was kind of hoping that this was just part of settling in. My pings heading back up has alarm bells ringing though, yeah? I'm not sure if dropping connections is supposed to be expected during this time - but is sure is a pain manually rebooting my router each time.
Is there an errors page for my 2700 that I can put up here that might clarify things?
Settling in is often misunderstood. The only thing that may happen is the target SNRM is raised to increase stability, but a) this should happen almost straight away, and b) it can happen at any time, not just in the training period.
Just spoke to Simon.
It is showing up that I have had 28 logins so far today. :eek4:
They are going to run a few line tests and get back to me. :fingers:
The pings could be symptomatic of iPlayer traffic due to the tennis, but as has been said, sorting your line out is the first priority.
Quote... results show a small number of errors on the upstream path.
I wish I knew what that meant. ;D
Anyway it has been passed onto BT to check the exchange now.
It means that the line test has turned up some errors on the part of the line which sends data from your computer to the outside world. Hopefully BT will find something to fix!
