but it's a pain it's happening now just as my line got the lowered SNR yesterday

....or maybe it's happening now because the lowered SNR happened yesterday ?

.. just a thought.

It was totally stable all day yesterday so I doubt very much it would suddenly go nuts today.

Fair enough ....

Then as someone else suggested, time to nip home and see if the line is noisy/dead.

Yep - I'm going to try and pop home in the next hour so I'll report back once I've checked.

Make a brew whilst you are there Murroughs is good !

Funny you should mention that - I have some Murroughs in the cupboard. Good call

Had some whilst in St.Davids a while back, now right up on my top five teas list.

p.s. White with one for me please.

Nice place St Davids - we camp there sometimes!!!

Just had another resync by looks of it and attenuation has dropped a little to 25.3 with speed now at:

Reason: 1 Remote Defect Indicator/DLM

Current Downstream Sync Rate is now 46192kbps @ 5.3db SNRM
Current Upstream Sync Rate is now 13331kbps @ 6.2db SNRM

Looks like I won't get home no until lunch about 1.25pm so I'll have to wait untl then to check phone etc.

Nice place St Davids - we camp there sometimes!!!

...if you ever fancy something a little more up-market try Ty-Boia B&B. Really top notch.

That place looks good!!!

Well I got home picked up the phone and didn't need to do a quiet line test as the background scratching-type noises are loud as heck. I will probably get onto them later.

However, on my drive back, I pass the cab and BT are working on it. I was unable to stop and talk to them as there are roadworks and traffic lights there. Just checked emails now and there has just been another resync and speeds are nearly back to normal even though they should be higher as the SNR is now 4.1.
