Syncing at 8160 kpbs

I have a thread in the Pipex forum but as vistors there now are less frequent than good Government policy, I thought I'd ask here

My router went off the other night overnight and re synced at 8160 kbps rather than the 8128kbps before.

Tracerts suggest I am still on the Pipex network but the Sync speed has me puzzled, am I now on LLU ?

At my parents, on the same exchange , they have lost sync completely at the same time and not yet reconnected, so have Tiscali been tinkering ?

TIA

I've seen occasional posts of syncs above the normal Max ADSL standard of 8128. You sometimes see the next two 32kbps steps, i.e. 8160 and 8192 kbps. I think I read it's down to favourable conditions and compatible router/DSLAM.

Thanks.

I shall give the line a good polish with Brasso then and see if I can get it up to 8192kbps


It's just a coincidence my parents have lost sync then, and the exchange is at the end of thier garden

I had the same bump in synch when I was put on Tiscali LLU.

try putting in your number at http://speedtester.bt.com/ . if you're on LLU you'll get "Authorisation failed Incorrect Telephone Number - Please try again".

Ah yes, I did that last night and got that reply, forgot until now.

So, I am on LLU then ? , Tracert retains the gxn bits that indicated Pipex ? no sign of the T word in it

My parents are on the same exchange, so they must have been LLU'd but they are not syncing ?

Any quick cure for that ?, they spent a fustrating time today being told to check all the leads, plug into the master socket etc etc, and reinstal software (they have a Netgear router lol )

I'll have to go round tonight, plug into the master just to check the extension lead etc out.

99.99% sure the switch to LLU has screwed it up

if you haven't already done so, I would hard reset the router an put in all the settings again.

Well, success.

Turns out the adsl filter I'd put on the NTE5 was not playing ball.

Master socket > router > PC perfect. In fact some praise for Tiscali is due, as although the exchange is at the bottom of the garden, literally 10/15 metres away, the attenuation and speeds have always been poor (with or without nte filter) , but not enough to bother light browsers/emailers, so I never persued with Pipex.

Now speeds have tripled !!!

Obviously LLU requires higher quality connection internally ?

Anyway, all sorted now and one less hassle

Que ?

Well, it was question really.

nothing changed with the line at home and the switch to LLU stopped it working.

connecting to the master socket fixed things, so , I dunno, all works now.
