You're not understanding.
One Homeplug at the router will feed many more. No need for ethernet cable, just remove one of the Homeplugs from your router.

If you are going to hard wire then DO IT PROPERLY.

Put a twin RJ45 socket close to the router and run two Cat5e cables (solid core infrastructure type) to her bedroom. Put another pair of sockets on the end and then use patch leads.

Do the lines automatically start in FAST mode?


Yes.

On FTTC, the line is in a mode that lets it go as fast as it can, without FEC or interleaving.

Unless it sees severe instability, DLM will leave you alone on the day of install, and the day afterwards. If it decides it is going to intervene, it will normally do so on the day after that (ie 2nd day after the install), between 1am and 7am usually.

If DLM intervenes, it might have to tune the setting it chooses on subsequent days.

So it is always good to try to get the IP profile value out of BT's speed tester during the first day or two, before DLM intervention, and again on the days after that.

Example:
On my first install at our old house, the initial install gave full sync speed, but 3-4% packet loss; DLM intervened (adding FEC + interleaving) after close to 48 hours. It dropped speed by about 3Mbps, but fixed the packet loss. This was then repeated a few days later, when my line was regraded from a 2Mbps upstream to 10Mbps upstream, and DLM was reset.


Interesting. I'm on full sync at the moment, i'll set up BQM like adslmax has on my line later and see how things go during the night.

At the moment there is only another line connected to my FTTC cab so cross talk should not be a problem.

I take this as confirmation that a regrade resets DLM.

In which case if openreach contracts ever go down to 1 month, then isp's can routenly regrade lines to reset DLM? As I am assuming regrades initiate new openreach contracts.

I had phoned up plusnet and they say I can try BT Home Hub 5 as DLM won't kick in the day after installed. Worth a try out. .

So, I plugged BT Home Hub 5 and finally seen the line stats:

Nice attainable figures there, should give some room for crosstalk before it affects your sync.

I am going to try my spare unlocked BT Openreach Modem and see what the different. I won't be using BT Home Hub 5 because they don't support TBB BQM and dreaded BT auto updated firmware (cannot disabled it)

The BT HH5 is rather poor on TBB speedtest http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest/results.html...
