How do these stats look, for a day's connection?


ADSL Line Status

Connection Information

Line state: Connected
Connection time: 1 days, 02:45:09
Downstream: 15.99 Mbps
Upstream: 1.13 Mbps

ADSL Settings

VPI/VCI: 0/38
Type: PPPoA
Modulation: G.992.5 Annex A
Latency type: Interleaved
Noise margin (Down/Up): 9.0 dB / 6.2 dB
Line attenuation (Down/Up): 6.2 dB / 3.3 dB
Output power (Down/Up): 20.1 dBm / 11.5 dBm
FEC Events (Down/Up): 25 / 0

Loss of Power (Local/Remote): 0 / 0
HEC Events (Down/Up): 0 / 121
Error Seconds (Local/Remote): 4 / 70

Looks fine - not many FEC Events though considering the router is showing Interleaved. However I don't know anything about the BT router so I guess anything is possible

Only thing I've noticed so far, I am seeing a lot of these kind of message in the logs:

OUT: BLOCK [9] Packet invalid in connection (TCP 192.168.1.74:55229->107.21.98.40:80 on ppp0)

Sometimes, and I mean sometimes, this causes a web page to stop loading half way through and need a refresh... looking at the BT forums seems this is a known issue with the newest firmware

Buy dad a Billion "n" router for his birthday

Hey, if I had 100% control over the broadband, trust me I would be buying some proper professional equipment from Cisco or the likes

Well, there's not much to say. Not much has changed, as you'd expect from no re-syncs in that period. All you can say is that it has managed to stay up for 26 hours. No great shakes!

Amazon doesn't want your custom.

NO ! They are too fussy by half to be used on a 'normal' residential set up.

But then I wouldn't have a normal set up would I I would dig up the street and put a cabinet in so I could get FTTC

Ok, about 1hr 45mins ago another re-sync happened, and it seems we are now on fast path

Obviously all that uptime yesterday was required for the DLM to test whether or not the line could support it, here are stats so far:

A ping from my server (connected over ethernet) to google.com comes back at 12ms

However, speed tests are now only showing up to 10.5Mbps Any idea why this is and any way it can be improved?
