In both cases probably just did their job and the variations are down to the ongoing ability of WBC connections to vary their speed.

Sorry. I did say that in my post, but didn't realise that they can't reset it from my home. I was going off what they both said about resetting my line - so I assumed that they must of triggered something at the exchange once the tests had been completed. Neither Engineer said they were going to the exchange after testing my line. Sorry for the confusion.

Both OR Engineers did reset it at the exchange

Possibly best if we use the term "re-train" - guess you could check wheher your line was "retrained" after the most recent engineer's visit if you are still uncomfortable with the BB performance...

Sync speeds are good but ES still ramping up + 2 LoS.

Have you tried swapping filters?

Time to start posting speed test results with the router stats, so we can see how these errors affect your actual throughput.

Yep, BT speed tester results might be good since the ISP may have a record of those (?) or at least give them some serious consideration

Well. I must thank you all for your help and advice and sorry for any confusion recently - also sorry for repeating myself

I have just had a very long call to EE's Fault Management Team who have finally agreed that there is a serious problem. When I quoted the HEC, CRC and ES's he told me "that's impossible!" So I logged into my router (using my phone) and took a screenshot (for future reference) and my ES's are at around 55,000 at this moment. Anyway, I am not in "re-train" at this moment and neither of the OR Engineers have been to the exchange. EE are "remotely" trying to repair the issues at the exchange and will call me back within 48 hours. It's funny as at 19:39 my speedtester showed Ping 197ms 11.47 D/L and 0.53 U/L, but at 19:37 it was Ping 98 0.34 D/L 0.50 U/L and its because of this that I called them.

They seem to think that they are "Ramming too much speed down my line" and this is causing the Errors. So thanks again for your advice. Without it I wouldn't of got this far and probably just left it to do what it was doing, but I will update as soon as I hear back from them

EE seem to think that "Far End errors are way to high" I don't know if they're acceptable or not to be honest. They said "We don't concentrate on Near End Errors, only Far End."

Nice


Just had this email from them. Considering they will call me between 9an and 9pm, I'm guessing me and my PC will just have to get along as best we can

Hello,

We have an update on your broadband fault; we'll be in contact to go through some more checks with you at the time slot you gave us when you logged your fault. Please can you be at your computer for the call.

Sounds like they will simply cap your downstream sync by sticking the SNRM at 12dB or something like that

They really are a complete waste of space...if they are aware of the issues then a SFI should be booked!

It's the Near End errors that are high; the Far End ones are minuscule by comparison, often 0. The LoS are always on Near End.

It's the Near End errors that are important; they relate to Downstream.

They are talking rubbish and must have mixed up their ends, anus about face .
EDIT: Or are viewing it from the exchange end.

Which contradicts "Far End".
