I sense that the planned engineering works have over-run, but that BT aren't admitting it.

I think you are probably right, Rik, I've had no more problems since the early hours of yesterday.  :fingers: :)

Certainly my downtime occurred after March 20, Ray, and the work for 21CN is a separate exercise.  :(

Probably the case Rik, annoying when in the middle of online banking though :rant2:
Damned, if you do damned if you don't

If it was with Nationwide, Gary, you;d have to do battle with their servers too!

Funny you mention them Rik, I keep getting emails for them in my googlemail and I have not got an account with them ::)

Rik

Odd, they're the one bank I haven't had an email from. :)

Hmm, that's strange, Gary. I wonder why Nationwide would be emailing you... :laugh:

Ray

I'm sure IDNet will be on the case now. :thumb:

Was that a sync drop, Ray, or the PPP session?

Both, Rik, one thing I have noticed my noise margin has increased from 9.5 to 13.5 since it has re-synched.

If you lost sync, it's not IDNet (you would lose the PPP session as a result of losing sync).

Rik

It sounds as if the BT line management software has kicked in, Ray, and raised your noise margin. It would be worth having a word with support, as they will be able to see what the line is doing and how often you have re-connected.

Rik, I've just had an email from Miriam about yesterday's losses of PPP, they couldn't see any reason for it, but I've replied to her with details of what's happened this morning for them to investigate.

It sounds like BT then, Ray. If it had been on the IDNet network, they would have seen it.

Yes, Rik, I've come to that conclusion with it all starting to happen since they have been doing their work, prior to that my connection would frequently stay connected for up to 2 months at a time.  :)

I have had the same here the line shows no problem, so they are going to report it to BT and keep me posted

I love the way BT test your line, I now have a snr of 9.3 because they have been testing my line and my dsl has been playing yoyo :mad: it was a happy 6.3 this morning >:(

Ray

Well, I've had another reply from Miriam and nothing was found wrong with my line but it was picking up strange activity from my router. I have now swapped back to my DG834 V3 and asked her to test again to see if this has stopped the activity.  :fingers: Looks like my Speedtouch 585 could be on the blink.  :(
