Re: [U2] UV telnet disconnects over WAN

I am going to take a wild guess that you are in the US and hence my UK 
experiences are probably worthless.


For a long time, we have had a 512k ADSL connection because it was all that 
was available at our location. Ten days ago we upgraded to an 8M connection. 
It has been a disaster and is currently running at an effective rate of 
about 300k with frequent disconnects (Sometimes every few seconds).


Our telecomms supplier tells us that some degree of difficulty is normal in 
the first few days of a new connection as it goes through a period of line 
training, however, what we are seeing is not to be expected. We had an 
engineer here this morning who has gone off scratching his head. If anything 
that might be applicable to you comes out of this, I'll post another reply.

The new network is a DSL-based MPLS product

We use DSL at our Montreal office but over LAN Extension which is also a
Bell network but no guaranteed service level. We run about 120 telnet
connections, and we do not have any issues. Ping times vary from 20ms to
800ms.

We had some issues early on, ping times over 2 seconds which caused
disconnects. Bell had to come in and remove the staple that nicked the
cable.

Probably not relevant ...

I know some early Demon broadband adopters had nightmares when BT
upgraded their kit. Because it wouldn't affect any subscribers they
did it without informing any ISPs, with the result that when customers
complained the ISPs didn't have a clue.

If you were an early broadband adopter, I'd get the terminator in your
exchange checked out, but it shouldn't be a problem.

Note for non-brits - this upgrade is free because BT want to upgrade
their kit, but it's a nightmare when things go wrong because they're not
giving customers a choice. You go from a guaranteed 512Mb to a 8Mb at
best connection, and a lot of people have reported connection speeds
falling. I'm lucky - living maybe 100yds from the exchange I think I get
about 5.7Mb connection speed :-) And when things go wrong, if you're not
a BT customer it's a nightmare because they won't talk to you and
everything goes the Chinese-whispers route via your ISP ...

Cheers,
Wol
