"How long ago was the router resynced before that screenshot?" ... about 1day 10 hours

What does it look like when you have just resynced?

"You got some sort of low-pass filter on the line? " ... router plugged into ADSLnation filtered faceplate

No, I mean something like a RF3 filter or DACS which is destroying the ADSL2+ frequencies.

The DACS would also kill off the ADSL frequencies, and the RF3 should have no adverse impact. The older RF2 would though, but seen as poster got decent sync from ADSL previously then fair to say they've not got one of those.

In that case I'd like to see what DMT looks like just after a resync

Had to have a quick GOOGLE to see what an RF3 filter was. The answer, as far as I know, is "no".

New Modem coming hopefully tomorrow, TP-LINK TD-W8960N, Chosen because it's another Broadcom based chipset and has the best user feedback on Amazon (expensive does not always appear to equal best) and supports wireless N (which I want now all my devices are wireless N). So once installed, I'll run DMT straight away (which I believe works with this router as well). Though I look to need version 8.07

Question and remember I'm the first to admit that I don't know really what I'm talking about. But at one point in the proceedings, I got knocked back to G.992.1 and though the ISP got me "reset" to G.992.5... I never (even on a 6dB rx SNRM) sync'd at more than 7150k. Is it possible I've ended up on some "strange" profile (if that's the right word/expression)?

Thanks for your input, appreciated.

Xilo/uno SMPF really is the best the best broadband connection that I've ever had: no dropped connections, downstream throughput speed is always just over 11Mbps (13610Kbps sync), never any evening peak time slowdowns, and technical support is first rate - worth every penny for a reliable and stable service!

I just hope that that you will be equally satisfied with their service and that your adsl2+ noise problems will be sorted out both by your own efforts and/or by the change of kit at the exchange.

Just installed new Router (TP-Link TD-W8960N). Here's what DMT looks like straight after setting it up.

Highly technical comment on my behalf. But there looks to be more "blue bits" than before on the Speedtouch.

New router reporting the rx attn now as 39.5dB (speedtouch 37dB) I'm assuming this is just a "reporting thing".

rx HEX showing as 4294967285. But again, I'm assuming this is just dodgy reporting from the router. I've GOOGLE'd this number and it seems to occur in a few posts here and there.

New nte5 faceplate as well?

Yes, the new faceplate arrived today as well. Removed old one and somehow got it mixed up with the new one and promptly re-fitted the old one (yes I know.....). Unluckily I did not notice till after I had booted up the new Router. I'll fit the new one next Monday just prior to arrival of my new connection, as don't want to re-sync yet again, in case I upset the DLM any more!

One thing I did notice when fiddling with my socket (so to speak) was that the "ring wire" on the extension plugged into the phone side of the filtered faceplate, was still connected! Though the ADSLnation plate is supposed to filter this, I still disconnected it to be ultra safe.

Interesting to see that I still get a dip in rx SNRM when the Plasma is switched on (around 1dB) but not as pronounced as with the Billion 7800N. Just got to see how it manages the SNRM during the evening.

Onward and upward....

PS. Tried the high gain antenna that I had bought previously. And as some folks had already suggested, they don't seem to make any difference (though they are impressively large!).

Did you see the edited addition to my previuus post?

What about the sky box? If you've had it more than a year then I believe you can disconnect it from the phone line (?) - that's if you are not using it to order box office movies etc. of course
