Got a lower profile but a stable connection so far. The profile has not changed since it the max d/l dropped...could not do a speed test before then as the site was down.

I would have expected my speeds to change during a training period and not just drop once. Is training any different on FTTC cf ADSL?

TIA

Please digress some more! Yours is the first post that I've seen in these forums where you are actually thinking outside (of) the (attached router) box.

Set your PC/MAC to DHCP (instead of PPPoE) when attached directly to the modem. If your DHCP client (PC/MAC/whatever) receives a private IP address, go nuts, and see if there's any useful info displayed at the DHCP server/gateway IP address, in particular, sync rates.

See this.

I don't get FTTC until 06/2011 (although Openreach have now painted 'DSLAM' on the pavement adjacent to the existing cabs), otherwise I'd try this myself.

Good Luck!
