Not all have such a feature, quite a few do not. Some allow you to reboot and that is all. And does it actually fully disconnect? or does it leave the line in sync with no session established?

Oh, I had the impression that they all had the disconnect feature.
I know our HH4 (Type A) does, also our other modem/router has 2 disconnect buttons one that disconnects the connection however stays synced up (i.e. we keep our gateway/connection IP) and another button that closes that connection.

BT Business Hubs certainly don't. There are resets which include <Reset IP/PPP>, <Reset Broadband> but no disconnect/logout ...

And it is often easier to say "Do it this way" rather than "which modem/hub", wait for answer and then go through the process. The Dying Gasp should work in all cases

Just being pedantic really but, Business Hub 3 here certainly does, right on the home screen, top button in 'My Services' section.

This is true.

Which proves the point ... every one is different!

My speeds seem to be normalising now. I did the disconnect thing this morning, but even at lunchtime it was still slow.

I'm now getting 1.29 - 1.45 Mbps down (3 tests) 0.09 - 0.31 up.

Also looks like I'll go over my 4G allowance, likely to be charged £6.50 for an extra 500MB. Billing cycle stats on the 11th... Drat.

I'd say the downstream sync was a little low for that attenuation ?

Possibly still resetting itself?

I've just got 1.70 Mbps down and 0.22 up

I'm now seeing the fastest speeds I've ever seen on my BT line.

2.31 - 2.52 Mbps down and 0.63 - 0.95 Mbps up (over 6 tests).
