The noise margin is showing some variation.

Are those latest stats using the test socket or your normal socket. The test socket looked better.

The removal of the ring wire from pin 3 can often help improve stability

And you said my sync speed should be around 17meg, how will I go about fixing that?

Your previous stats from the test socket were in line with my estimate but these aren't.

So the obvious way is to use the test socket. This implies that the extension wiring is pulling the speed down. Removing the ring wire as MrSaffron suggests would a good idea for starters.

Yes I did notice word GUESS. Also noted words DUE TO; that was the FOLLOWING that I was querying.

In fact you no need to guess. It is ADSL2+ speeds on AOL. Therefore it is LLU! AOL do not use WBC anywhere, any more than TT does.

Those results are from the normal socket.

Okay, I have just done some research online as I didn't want to disconnect the ring wire as it may cause some hassle if BT technicians come around in the future. I have just purchased a iPlate for the master socket instead, I will try that first when it arrives through the post and I will also be posting the new stats on here.

You don't need to remove or cut it; just set it aside.

Given AOL uses TalkTalk LLU and thus available on 94% of lines

Andrew,

FYI Only (I'm not getting at you as you always seem to think):

AOL & TT LLU networks are separate. AOL only has under half the # exchanges LLU's that TT has (1253 vs. 2729).

In reference to www.samknows.com/broadband/llu/aol:

Note that even though AOL UK are technically a part of Carphone Warehouse now, they still run separate networks, which is why they appear separately on this site.

They also package their products differently and AOL BB still depends on AOL Inc. for its user IDs/pwds and eMail, presumably as part of their agreement.

I believe you are wrong, AOL Broadband in the UK used to have its own DSLAM but with the purchase by TalkTalk that all changed.

The 1253 is a 2007 figure that was the height of the networks coverage.

Nothing stopping a LLU provider offering two very different products from the same MSAN of course

Yes, thanks, MrS. Even the notification email looked suspicious.
