Chances of Target Margin drop?

[qweezy]

Hey guys,

Hope I'm not speaking too soon, but I'm coming up to that 'magic' 14 days and wondering if I can expect a 3db drop with these stats.

Too many errors?

Cheers.

They don't look too bad to me, qweezy, but BT are a law unto themselves.

[qweezy]

Thanks.

Will have to see what happens if I get to the 14!

Im pretty happy though as I think this is longest I have held sync for years.

Top notch advice on getting the 2700 .

[Rik]

Hang on till at least day 15, qweezy, as BT also count differently to the rest of the world. The 2700s seem to have been a boon to so many of us, it's a shame they're not sold 'officially' in the UK.

[qweezy]

Okay thanks.

I'll post back in a few days to report any changes!

Fingers crossed .

Plus toes, legs and eyes.

I saw the 2700's for sale on Dabs once a year or so back.

[Rik]

Aren't Dabs owned by BT?

[Inkblot]

They are nowdays, used to be independant but BT brought them a few years back

[Rik]

That could explain them having stocks of the 2700 to sell...

They are classified as discontinued now  but they have them on Amazon, new http://www.amazon.co.uk/BT-Business-Hub/dp/B001F4XS68/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1270997691&sr=8-1 thats loads of cash for one. But they have some for £15 new

[Rik]

Disaster!!!!

[Gary]

[Rik]

Never thought to look on Amazon for them...

[Gary]

Never thought to look on Amazon for them...

I know, I was surprised as well , Rik 

[qweezy]

No changes and slightly lower sync .

[Rik]

Have a word with support, they'll be able to check your line stats and see if there's a reason.

[qweezy]

Is there any way the Target Margin can be reset?

[psp83]

Ask support  

They got BT to move mine from 15 to 9 but the exchange soon put it back to 15 a few days later because of small errors on the line.

[Rik]

What Paul said, qweezy. IDNet can get BT to force the changed, but if it gets kicked back up, it's very rare for BT to do it again.

[qweezy]

Hello again.

Emailed support which replied incredibly quick (4 minutes ) and the request has been put in for 'unbanding'.

Apparently this should go through later today!

Top marks for support, didnt even have to make a phone call!

More fingers crossed that I can hold at a lower Target Margin.

[Rik]

Good luck. 

[qweezy]

When should I expect the 'Unbanding'?  Also, do I need to reboot the router for it to take effect?

I haven't seen it drop from 15db yet.

Thanks.
