Just seen this post, after I PM'ed you. Direct Link.

Well, don't know about the BQM link being right or whatever, but Camieabz kindly told me what to do for router error stats by using Telnet ...never used that before but Kitz tells how to enable it and how to get into the router, camieabz told me what to put in to get those stats! ...and here they are:

OK.... this looks promising?

Error Seconds (ES) and S(erious)ES are high for 57 days Uptime on Interleaved. Is that when it last re-synced, when you rebooted router?

You'd probably be better off on 6dB NM.

Yes, that's the last time it was re-booted - actually unplugged it for a few minutes the day before at the Tech chaps request, but saw next morning that it had lost sync during the night and it's been re-connected at that ever since ...and that's the same day the NM was re-set according the the line data.

I'm pretty sure it never got re-set before and must have been at 6dB.

Yes, that's the right link, as you posted just after 2pm and it is now showing up to 3pm. Just wrap it in url tags now for neatness. You can do that by inserting them in your sig setup.

Looks good so far, very little packet loss showing. Latency reasonably steady, assuming you were doing stuff where those spikes were?

I'll look at the stats in a bit.

Must have got the url bit wrong because it disappeared so I had to put it back as it was. Edit: ian72 kindly showed me how to do that, so done now

Yes, was doing stuff during the spikes ...the longest one late last night was when I checked the router stats just before turning the computer off, and it was one of those that took a few seconds to open.

Copy this but remove the dash before the word url in the opening tag and after url in the closing tag:

[-url=http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/share/315fccf9482d40ee613317b082c9efa6.html]link[/url-]

Will result in this:

Thank you!

You're welcome. You can of course change the "link" to whatever you want to call it and put some pretty words around it...
