The funny thing is that with the wrong link you did the url bit perfectly . You can now edit the word "link" in your sig to "BQM", like you had originally.

There is an easier way:

If you put the (noparse) and (/noparse) tags around any of the bbcode (using brackets rather than parentheses, obviously), it will be treated as simple text and not acted upon.

eg your link example would become

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

and this bolded, italic underlined text would become [b]bolded[/b], [i]italic[/i] [u]underlined[/u]

If you see some effect and wonder how it was done, clicking the "quote" button will show all the gory details

Okeydokey

...and thanks all three of you for that help!

Hehe!

So now we'll know what time you go to bed and get up each day ....

ROFL - Couldn't resist that .

More seriously, that is still looking very clean but who know what might show up now and then.

Ha-ha! Well, the government seems to know everything we do, so why not! ...just don't tell me there's a webcam incorporated: first hour awake and I'm a bit of a zombie!
....so now 'broadband brother' is watching

I had to adjust my work & sleep time when husband retired - need at least a good few hours of concentration with work, so night is quietest - still need 7-8 hours sleep though!

I did notice that the graph seems to be slightly off timewise though - I didn't switch the computer on until at least 10.30am and I checked the router later than 2am. Still, it's accurate enough for purpose I suppose.

Connection been working not too badly today, but it does that and then gets iffy again.

I had assumed you got up a bit before the BQM activity started, in order to fix your makeup before coming on here. Your nail-varnish could do with a bit of attention however.

The timescale can be wonky for the first 24 hours. Then it knows where it is. I still haven't looked at the stats - forgot! Now have to empty the dishwasher - we need the space!

I do: up at 10am ...no choice as husband sends the dogs up to wake me gently - one is 58lbs!! Slurp!
Gave up on makeup when I jumped off the 'real job' treadmill in '89, as for nail varnish- sorry I'll try and present myself better tomorrow! (turps, resins and nail varnish don't mix well to be honest though).

My dishwasher is super efficient ..puts everything away when dried!

Tie a lump of string round your finger to remember to look at the stats ...think Uilebheist has a big ball of it for amnesia

Well, the connection seems to have been quite steady and responsive this past couple of days particularly.
For someone who doesn't need more speed, I reckon it's probably stable enough not to justify any extra monthly outlay for FTTC.

All I ask really is a responsive and sound connection with a reasonable speed for my needs.

I look at the NM's every now and then, and this is how it's been Down/Up since 18th Dec (much the same since 7th Nov when NM was re-set):

18/12 02.30am 2.3/5.9
18/12 11.00am 2.9/5.9
19/12 02.00am 2.1/5.9
21/12 01.30am 1.9/6.0
23/12 13.00pm 3.1/6.0
26/12 01.00am 0.8/5.8
27/12 01.15am 1.4/5.8
27/12 14.00pm 2.6/6.0
28/12 11.00am 2.9/5.8
31/12 13.00pm 2.9/6.0
03/01 02.42am 2.1/5.9
03/01 10.50am 3.0/5.4
03/01 16.55pm 2.4/5.8
04/01 01.45am 1.9/5.9
05/01 01.48am 1.2/5.8
06/01 10.40am 3.1/5.9

XRaySpecS advised asking for the NM to be re-set at 6dB - always the chance it'll start misbehaving again if they do I suppose, but when - and I think it will happen - it starts the slow loading of pages etc again, I'll ask them to try it.
Not sure if the interleaving from last June fixed anything amiss or made things worse!

From what I can understand, the BQM has shown very little packet loss ?

Just happened to notice that the ADSL dropped very briefly at 18.26pm - 3 minutes after it happend I saw that the downstream is slightly lower, but the up moreso:

DMT Status No Defect
Operational Mode ADSL2+
Upstream 800
Downstream 9232
SNR Margin(Upstream) 7.5
SNR Margin(Downstream) 2.4
Line Attenuation(Upstream) 26.6
Line Attenuation(Downstream) 45.5

There's no line data changes as yet on the ISP's customer section.

Should I pull the plug on the router for a few minutes in the morning and re-connnect to see what happens?
