Could you tell me a bit more about this automated tester please? I'd like to set one up.

It depends if you know how to program batch files. Make a batch file, use an application called wget to download test files, I use Zen, BT and one from my Viva webspace. Wget is a command line program and you can set it to log download speeds etc to a file. Use Windows Scheduler to run the batch file once an hour. Review the log file once a day. I think there maybe a program that does all this for you, might have to creatively google to find it, cant for the life of me remember it's name.

Edit: I've remembered, JDs Speedtester, http://www.gmwsoftware.co.uk/ might be what you are looking for.

I was migrated this afternoon, apart from an issue resetting my MTU - BT software in my 2 wire HGV2700 has been infected with a glitch that wouldnt accept a new MTU - luckily I have several 2700s that are without the lastest software, so by the time I fired up the line it was 6 pm and have lost a meg of sync over what I had at 3 pm. currently I have a sync of 9959 Noise marging at 5.5 but attenutaion has risen over the week to 43.3 from 40.8.

Tomorrow lunch time I will restart the router and see where we sync.. hopefully it will be back at the 10061 I had earlier - or higher

At least your getting a good sync for your line/attenuation how the line on speedtests?

8.6 megs.... lets see what we get tomorrow. I am seeing some errors here that I dont normallly see. thats speed test was at the time that has recently down as low as a meg in the evening.

Hope you get sorted out soon... the modest increase in speed here has been welcome, as is the lack of contention symptoms during the afternoon and evening

I've now switched to JDs Speedtest application from my batch file as it also tests ping and jitter as well as d/l and u/l speeds and has nice graphing options.

I thought the lite service was capped at 12mbps?

i've synced well over 14000kbps >.<

Good, innit?! http://www.gmwsoftware.co.uk/
