Yesterday at some point my voice line went down. I had no dial tone and I was unable to make or receive calls but I still had internet with no problems? I phoned Talk Talk up on my mobile at about 10pm and was told there was a line fault and they would get it fixed but could take up to 5 working days. Late last night/ this morning the router could not sync with the exchange so I'm guessing that's when they started to fix it. About 2 hours ago both the dial tone and the internet was back on. They got it fixed pretty quick but BT speed test shows this.
Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test: -provides background information.
Your DSL connection rate: 6400 kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP profile for your line is - 135 kbps
Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 94 kbps
Should I leave the router on for awhile or should I reboot the router or maybe even now report this to IDNet?
ADSL can jump a break in the line which stops the voice side dead in its tracks, Juice. You just need to wait for the profile to catch up now...
Hopefully as it's a large change for the profile it'll happen within 48 hours b
Yep, the profile should jump back pretty quickly. :fingers:
I should have known better than to think TT and BT could get it fixed that quick. Both voice and adsl went down again.

I'm loving that 86kbps link to the world I have still. The internet is not a luxury any more.
Hope it gets sorted soon, Juice. :(
The problem there is the profile, not the sync, which needs to catch up.
The problem is a fault on the line, both adsl and voice go down and come back up for awhile. It's not going to get better untill Talk Talk get BT to fix it but who knows when they'll get around to doing that.
2 years 6 months and 37 seconds from next wednesday approx :whistle:
:eek4: LOL
He's serious, Juice. ;D
did you really have to tell him...
;D
I was tired, it was my first day back... ;)

Colin being serious? Has the world ended in the last couple of days?
It feels like it, Danni, I need to catch up on some sleep. :)
Go to bed for a bit. Colin and I will look after the forum for you. :kiss: :hug: :angel:
Thanks. Be sure to sweep the floor and empty the bins. :-*
shouldnt take me that long to break the server ill need a couple of drinks though first :whistle:
I can do it without the drinks. ;D
danni no telling what i did to the server the last time i was drunk :dunno:
But you only destroyed the DNS server...
damn my secret is out
I thought it was your tongue. ;D
Sweet! Feels like warp speed now compared to under 135kbps.

Got one more profile jump to go to get back to my normal 5.5

Should my downstream noise margin be that high? I have a DECT cordless phone right behind the router (5cm) should I move it further away if I can, do they really affect it? I'm only using the cable that came with the router to connect it to a NTE5. What do people think about the high speed shielded cables are they worth getting?
The downstream margin is so high because the exchange has increased your target SNRM in response to instability. Theoretically, it will reduce in 3dB increments every 14 days that the router does not lose sync.
Don't bother with one of the really expensive RJ11 cables, but something like the twisted-pair ones that ADSL Nation do are worth the few quid they charge.
Is 350 CRC errors in 47 hours ok?

It's fine, Juice.
Yep, shouldn't cause any problems.
