Hi, my nets changed over this morning at 2am. My friend asked if "interleaving is on" and if so, can it be "turned off". what did he mean by this? haven't been able to contact him.

Hi Gazz and welcome to the forum.

It's difficult to tell from those stats whether interleaving is on. Some router do tell you, others hide it. Look at the error count if you can, if you see CRCs, or errors listed under and interleaved heading, it's on, otherwise phone support in the next hour and they'll be able to tell you. The ping times suggest to me that interleaving is on.

Are you on WBC (ADSL2+) or Max?

RSS updates daily in the morning.

not sure? just ADSL ?

Rik · Dec 23, 2009, 17:04:00

Sorry, missed the 448 upstream - yes, you're on Max.

gazzthompson · Dec 23, 2009, 17:09:19

Ok thanks, im assuming i should wait 10 days~ for the line to settle?

Rik · Dec 23, 2009, 17:10:14

You have to before IDNet can get BT to accept a fault report, sadly.

Ted · Dec 23, 2009, 17:27:15

Hi Gazz
Probably a good idea to edit out your ADSL IP address from your original post.

Rik · Dec 23, 2009, 17:32:52

Thanks for spotting that, Ted, I was too busy trying to answer quickly.

gazzthompson · Dec 23, 2009, 17:53:52

Thanks guys

for a peak time test, this is best ive gotten in months

, will email about the interleaving thing.

Try the Maidenhead server, Gazz. I find that one consistently reports a similar throughput to the BT tester.

RA ..... do you think you could post your RWIN and MTU settings please. Have been fiddling with mine for quite a while and have forgotten what they were originally.
Speed was 7000 to 7100 but it's dropped to 6960 since the fiddling.

Rik · Dec 24, 2009, 08:33:02

I use an MTU of 1500 and an RWIN of 256960, Rick.

RA-1972 · Dec 24, 2009, 08:41:59

Mine are default mtu of 1500 not sure of rwin .
