Confused. Have BT changed some standards?!

[Jimbo]

Evening all.

Really confused atm.  I'm waiting for the "legendary" 2700HGV router to arrive, and today my broadband has been quite bad.  This morning my download speed 16 KB/s.  Ok I thought, another 3 days to wait (as my sync speed was around 2.8MB).  However, just now my speed has dramatically increased!!  Now I'm up to 160 KB/s all of a sudden.

Basically, just a little confused... how has it suddenly increased so quickly?   The cheap-o Netgear router I'm using as a stop gap atm has re-sync'd quite a few times today so now way has the line been stable for 3+ days.

Have BT changed the amount of time you have to wait?  Or is it "ghosts in the machines"? Lol.

Cheers guys.  (Man this new Router can't come soon enough!)

They certainly have changed things recently.

Aha!  So that explains it.... 4-6 hours. 

Shame it's dropped again. Lol.

Many Thanks for the link.

The good side is 4-6 hours, the bad side is that, for many people, changes will now take 5 days. Good old BT.
