If modem can be forced to ADSL only mode, it is worth a go. On older hardware ADSL2 and ADSL2+ modes were fairly new, and they often were not tested on such long lines.

telneting: xdsl debug multimode config=t1.413issue2+g992.1_annex_a

and: saveall

Might work for the OP's tg585v7 ?

If not: xdsl debug multimode config=t1.413issue2+g992.1_annex_a+g992.3_annex_a+g992.3_annex_l+g9
92.3_annex_m+g992.5_annex_a+g992.5_annex_m

and: saveall

Will return it to defaults.

These commands will cause resyncs if the router accepts them.

Thanks for those links and the code chaps, it's a little beyond me (the Telnet part) but I have a friend who's handy in these matters, I'll set him to it!

Also, I didn't know there was a firmware update for the router, I assumed Thomson went under and took everything with it!

Thomson are fine, they changed their name to Technicolor.

I would be wary about installing firmware from random Greek websites.

TBH I've never had any complaints but the lack of support isn't very good in this day and age.

I probably wouldn't bother as the router doesn't appear faulty; I'll try the Telnetting and see where that gets me. I'll probably get a new modem soon enough anyway

Fair enough. Personally, I'd only download firmware from manufacturers or ISPs websites, but then I'm suspicious like that

I downloaded some from O2help. It worked
