You don't retrain just cuz it re-synced. You need deliberate action from ISP for that.

I'm off to give them a call. D/L speed about 10 mins ago was 0.07. 2 mins later D/L was 13.6 I just don't get it.

Just out of interest: what AV/firewall software are you running when testing for pings and throughput speeds? And, sorry you may have answered this before, are you using an ethernt wired connection from the pc to the router or a wireless connection?

I always use Ethernet connection on the PC and I'm using Avast AV at the moment.

I've just taken a look at the stats again and are the Interleaved Errors high already - or is it normal?

I took it for granted that re-train would be triggered when the exchange was made aware of a problem like in this case.

Just wanted to confirm that you were using ethernet, Avast AV should be fine - if you were using Kaspersky Internet Security then that could explain some latency and throughput anomalies.

Errors and LoS still don't look that promising, FEC corrections may be quite high (I usually get no more than 1,000,000 per 24 hours) but others may be better able to comment about that - i.e. interleaving depth etc.

Let's see what happens when you get the new router

Interleaved ES should be much lower than Fast ES.

But can you rely on those error counts if you didn't reboot when it re-sync? You are just carrying forward counts from before the re-sync.

Fully understated what you're saying, but I can look back through what I've copied and pasted to get a rough idea of how much the ES's have gone up. Here are the stats from about 5 minutes ago.

Something I have found interesting and strange, since being on interleaved, whenever I turn my Xbox on and it's signing in, my D/L speed dropped from over 13.2 right down to 0.07. This used to happen when I was on Interleaved and thought it was due to the original Re-training at the point of my BB being activated. This never happened on fast path, but to make sue its not the Xbox, I'm going to try it with my spare one. It's connected via Ethernet also, but can imagine why it should wipe out so much of my D/L speed.

Sorry don't know anything about Xbox but certainly, for example, with the Windows XP OS ADSL2+ download speeds can be seriously reduced if the MTU, TCP Receive Window, etc. settings are not optimised...

Edit: Don't use it for tweaking, unless it's for XP, but you may find the results from this site http://www.dslreports.com/tweaks interesting
