brightbox 2 again

morning all,

about 4:30pm yesterday 26th feb 2014 my connection went down, the router was connected to the cabinet but no internet, internet light was lit on the router still, after fiddling around trying to get it working thinking it must be something with the router or my PC, i checked all my other devices and they were the same.

during this i decided to try the ECI modem and use the brightbox 2 in ethernet mode but still didnt work so then phoned EE, i was told there was a big UK wide outage affecting all BT wholesale, plusnet ect and to monitor the connection, it eventually came back at 6:30pm !phew! so i ran a test on tbb as couldn't now read my stats due to using the modem, to my surprise the speed had gone up by 2-3meg and pings have come down from 16ms to 12ms and as this sync was made at night and in the windy weather would it be an idea to reboot later this morning to try to obtain a bit higher?

my tests are up from 65meg to 67meg with an ip profile of 69.24 am i right in thinking the sync must now be slightly over 72meg?

replies appreciated thank you

Not quite! Sync = IPP/ 0.9679.

Always worth the occasional resync in daylight to try gain a bit of sync.

Looking through my speed test logs I can see a small slow down from 16:00 to 16:10

At all times I was able to download this 5MB File from the ThinkBroadband site.

As you can see my router has been up for 19 days and the time taken to download the file was 5 times longer during the above period.

There may have been an issue with authentication, which my tests would not show.

well after leaving the ECI modem + brightbox 2 in ethernet mode it seems the brightbox doesn't play particularly well with ECI cabinets, my connection has gained a few meg back up to syncing at just under 73meg ip profile of 70.58 giving me speedtests of 68-69meg.

this i would think is now right i have been on FTTC for 18 months ish so crosstalk should about now be doing all it can to hamper my connection, hopefully it stays where it is now
