Ok, I've fixed it what happens next?

[Rik]

I'm intrigued now, let me know what your stats are tomorrow will you?

[Bat]

Hi,
Sure. I've got goldfish memory so I'll be lucky if I can remember to switch it off and back on again!
Cheers,
Gavin

[Rik]

I can send you a time switch if you like.

[Bat]

Hi,
Now there's a good idea! I'd leave it on for a week though!
Cheers,

Can you do a BT speed test please, Gavin?

[Bat]

Hi,
Tah Dah .....



Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test:  -provides background information.
    IP profile for your line is - 4000 kbps
    DSL connection rate: 448 kbps(UP-STREAM)  4864 kbps(DOWN-STREAM)
    Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 3708 kbps

That's fine, Gavin, throughput is good for the profile, profile is right for the sync speed.

If you can manage to keep a stable connection for a couple of weeks, your target noise margin should decrease by 3d, and will repeat until the line becomes unstable. As that happens your sync speed will improve and the profile will follow. It's slow, but we are talking about BT here.

Hi,
At least now it's all heading in the same direction
Thanks Ric & Andrew
Cheers,
Gavin

[Bat]

Hi,
Apologies Rik 
Cheers,
Gavin

[Rik]

It's OK, Gavin, my uncle gets it wrong all the time, and he's known me for a long time!
