Is that wired or wireless, and what is your PlusNet Member Centre Current line speed? IIRC from those stats it should be 5,700kbps.

Error Seconds (Local/Remote): 3099 / 0 !!!

I think its 3.099 ie 3 seconds, otherwise there's more error seconds than connection uptime.

Everything is wired in my house apart from the iPad and my current line only shows info from September...

Estimated line speed:
7Mb (This may vary between 5.5Mb and 12Mb) - Checked on 2013-09-16 12:31:41
Current line speed:
5.3 Mb
Is there somewhere that shows today's line speed ?

It's the estimated speed that dates from September, not the current. 5.3Mbps is what it is set to now, but it may have a bit of catching up to do, see if it has changed tomorrow.

No, it's 3K+. The router is using continental 1000s separators (&v.v.). It is more ES than uptime!

In this case...
The routers been connected for 2591 seconds
Yet errored seconds is higher than this...
It's saying it's had more errored seconds since being connected than the total number of seconds since it's even connected? That's like me being connected 6 seconds but having a 10 errored seconds in 6 seconds.

How is that even possible? I'm missing something?

The ES are only zeroised on a hard reboot. Whereas the Uptime is since the last recon.

Notice there have been 3 Loss of Signal since the last reboot. The Uptime is being measured only from the last of these. Q.E.D.

How I wish router manufacturers would synchronise ES and Uptime; it would make assessing them more arithmetically rigorous.

Error seconds were 61952 / 0 yesterday so there must have been a reboot at some point after that?

Would the engineer have left the router powered on when he did the work and if so there would have been a resync when the router was connected back into the NTE5?
