Re: Appalling unreliability

[re: jez9999] [link to this post]

Considered a longer timeout for the echo timeout?

if the VDSL is staying up, then suggests not an interference issue, but differences in how FTTC handles things and getting your Linux box to play nicely.

The joy of using one of the non-standard routers is getting it configured just right.

If this was me I'd be ditching the Linux box for a few days to try another router and see if things are stable, before pestering ISP. www.sinet.bt.com may detail the spec for LCP timeout

In particular SIN 498 is a likely candidate for FTTC.

My broadband basic info/help site - www.robertos.me.uk | Domains,website and mail hosting - Tsohost.
Connection - Plusnet UnLim Fibre (FTTC). Sync ~ 59.4/14.4Mbps @ 600m. - BQM

+1 for ditching the linux box for a while. I've had a fair amount of issues with this kind of setup in the past. Use the ISP supplied router for a week and see how that goes.

As for xmas lights - essentially they generate interference in the same band as the broadband so they can cause interference down the broadband line which causes dropouts etc.
