ADSL24 dropping all the time

I've just moved to ADSL24 LLU and my connection is dropping all the time and I'm getting a bit fed up.

When it eventually reconnects, the sync speed is all over the place.

I am 400m from the exchange and was previously with BT where I had a faultless and rock-solid connection for over 4 years.

Any help would be welcome.

Can you post your router stats, make and model of router too may help.

I've been unable to connect for the last two hours but finally back on. \0/

My router is a Belkin F5D8636 and I took screengrabs of the various sync speeds.

Belkin's are awful.

I would first try a better router as from the stats, you either have a line issue (very low attenuation, very poor sync rate and stupidly high, fluctuating SNR), a router issue, or something else that is connected causing problems.

Even on the last image where you are seeing 13db attenuation and 12Mb sync, that should be far higher.

I had a feeling you were going to say that. =^>

I've had enough of the constant disconnections and will be applying for my MAC code tomorrow.

Moving to ADSL24 is the worst move I ever made.

Did you try a new router?

You went from ADSL1 to ADSL2+ which can be less stable on some lines.

Matt

You'll likely have the same problem with another ADSL2+ provider. Did you try a different router?

You really haven't supplied any information which would apportion any blame to ADSL24.

When you get a chance, purchase a secondhand netgear dg834 online (you would do will to start on auction sites, they're ten a penny) and give that a go.

I'd concur with the point that belkin routers seem to be worse than their competitors, at least from my experience with them.

Belkin used to be good, but I have had the same experiences recently.

I find Netgear to be a good router, easier interface too.
