My Zen connection has been running fine for ~12 weeks or so now.
i.e. Performing as it should

Fingers crossed it continues and posting this hasn't jinxed it!

Well I was happy whilst being routed via bng1, but after painting the wall which necessitated breaking that connection my first reconnection via bng2 exhibited dramatic single thread degradation, changing to dsl5 was OK yesterday evening but this morning it had deteriorated to;

So it looks as if I will have to power down again for yet another attempt at the ZEN Lottery!

After over ten very happy years with Zen, I am now reluctantly counting down the days to when my initial 12 months 80-20 VDSL contract is up on 26th November.

Well, at least I have finally been routed via bng1 once again this time, off peak it provided me with a very stable service, for example;

Today, during the working day the achievable speed on bng1 is once again showing the strain, but it might well be the best route that Zen can presently offer their customers based in Tavistock.

I've seen some latency artefacts whilst connected to bng1 over Zen's backhaul network. These were visible for most of yesterday, but stopped at around 10pm even though my PPP session remained connected. The problems have stayed away today.

The same artefacts appeared on IPv6; it was not an IPv4 only issue.
