BT based service? Their profiling is awful.

His profile says Newnet

Indeed.

Made me chuckle.

Unluckily "yes".

The only LLU on my exchange is either "talk talk" (and no one seems to like them), or SKY.

I just wish BE were interested in stepping in. Though doubt if they would be interested in such a small exchange.

Talktalk reseller sounds like a good idea.

If you went with a TalkTalk reseller offering partial LLU (SMPF) your downstream sync should be close to mine:

Uptime: 20 days, 4:16:16

DSL Type: G.992.5 annex A

Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 1.022 / 13.610

Data Transferred (Sent/Received) [kB/kB]: 0,00 / 31,00

Output Power (Up/Down) [dBm]: 12,0 / 19,5

Line Attenuation (Up/Down) [dB]: 20,5 / 36,0

SN Margin (Up/Down) [dB]: 10,0 / 6,0

- Interleaving is being applied -

Downstream throughput is always just over 11Mbps.

Although the monthly cost could cheese you off!

ADSL2+ and ADSL2 are affected more by the condition of the wiring in the home.

has the original poster tried the master sockets test socket? And seen how the line behaves for a few hours, and verified that no other phone sockets work in the property in this configuration

Router already (and it's been this way for a couple of years) plugged into BT master socket via a filtered faceplate (ADSLnation). And main PC connected to router via Ethernet. Not sure what else I can try / do. Ring wire should not be an issue, as the faceplate should get round this.

My line re-sync'd again last night and I now have what looks like a 15dB rx SNRM target!

What an earth is going on!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Okay but have you ACTUALLY tested from the test socket?

No disrespect intended. But I thought people on this board tended to say talktalk was not really much good!? or is their LLU stuff OK now? I have no personal experience here, just going by comments I've read.

Question... can I just take broadband if I go LLU, or does it have to be phone and broadband? It's just that I've only just realised why BT have been showering me with cheap options and freebees (EG.free upgrade to free week day evening and weekend phone calls and pay line rental for 12 months and save 50% etc). Unluckily I've taken all these "offers" as they appeared a good idea at the time! So that's me locked into BT for 12 months now I suspect..

TalkTalk gets a bad rep due to customer service generally, usually few technical problems

TalkTalk wholesale is a different fish to TalkTalk retail
