I didn't mean to imply that the change to cat5e was solely responsible for my improvement.
The first three OR engineers who came out said that the line from the master socket to the cabinet was fine and that the problem must lie within my home network.
Fortunately a fourth rather more clued up engineer diagnosed an HR on the line which had not caused a problem with ADSL but ruined my VDSL. This guy swapped me on to a spare pair which was luckily available in th UG line and th improvement both in speed and stability was immense.
Having said that my new internal wiring may have contributed to the improvement.
The main point I was making is that the switch from ADSL to VDSL can show up pre-existing faults that did not cause a problem with ADSL.
A further point is that not all OR egineers have the same degree of competence.

That doesn't fill me with confidence. I have an Openreach engineer attending tomorrow morning.

Not sure what they've managed to do. The line type has changed to Interleaved and I'm not receiving any cells. I note it doesn't say frames anymore.

1 week and counting. Still down...

Just an update/rant

After 4 weeks and 2 days of no service whatsoever, my service was reactivated today (they had to do a cease and reprovide and tried to charge me £54 for the priviliege) and we're back to square one.



They've got 24 hours to sort it then they're out.

Who is your ISP? Let me know and I can see if I know executive complaint details

EDIT: looking at sync it is fine. This is most likely ISP congestion.

Will they let you leave? Switching to BT Plusnet Sky will likely solve the issue

Sync is 47M down/8 Up. I think this is more likely erroring that has never been resolved. Minimum guaranteed speed is supposed to be 30Mbps. As it stands, I can't stream a thing in HD.

I think, at long last, it might have reached an acceptable level. Upstream CRC errors seem to have dropped remarkably.
