back up at

ADSL Link             Downstream     Upstream
Connection Speed    4274 kbps    728 kbps
Line Attenuation    41.0 db            20.0 db
Noise Margin            8.3 db            7.1 db

oh dear!!!!

[Niall]

My sisters connection has been having problems too. I haven't noticed anything, but I haven't been relying on it much in the recent days. Apparently they're seeing DNS problems too.

[Rik]

It looks like DLM may have kicked your target noise margin to 9db, Baz.

[Baz]

its getting worse.just sat for 20 mins waiting for it to get back up, now on this

ADSL Link             Downstream     Upstream
Connection Speed    743 kbps      392 kbps
Line Attenuation    42.0 db           21.9 db
Noise Margin             6.8 db           5.1 db

[Rik]

Can you move to the test socket, Baz?

[Steve]

Soon!

[Baz]

yeah can try. do you mean the actual test socket or the main incomer which is where I am now,always have been about 1 metre away from it

[Rik]

The main test socket, Baz, we need to rule your internal wiring out.

[Baz]

nothing has changed in the wiring side for years Rik, dont mean it to sound as if im  doubting your advice, sorry

have an ADSL faceplate on and no ring wire.

[Rik]

The test socket is the demarcation point, Baz. IDNet will ask you to use it before they involve BT.

[Baz]

ok give me a few mins to dig out a filter

[Rik]

We can wait.

[Baz]

ok  now getting this from router

ADSL Link             Downstream     Upstream
Connection Speed    1579 kbps    523 kbps
Line Attenuation    39.0 db          20.6 db
Noise Margin             7.6 db          6.9 db

[Rik]

It looks like external noise then, Baz. Have you got a spare router you could try.

[Baz]

sorry Rik no.it dropped again while in the test socket so im back in the main one now and going to leave it a while I think unless you have any other ideas.

[Baz]

sorry guys but I have to pop out now for a while so will leave it on and see what its like later

thanks 

[Rik]

Got a battery-powered AM radio, Baz?

[Baz]

before I go,BT test is

Download speed achieved during the test was - 308 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 600-7150 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :561 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 368 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 4500 Kbps
The throughput of Best Efforts (BE) classes achieved during the test is - 17.53:31.17:51.3 (SBE:NBE:PBE)
These figures represent the ratio while sententiously passing Sub BE, Normal BE and Priority BE marked traffic.

The results of this test will vary depending on the way your ISP has decided to use these traffic classes.
