I remember once remarking to a BT engineer that we were getting better performance than we expected out of a new leased line. He promptly went out to the green box in the street and fixed that. Never heard of them going the other way. Biggest improvement in performance would be to get BT off the line. When my ISP (AA) moved me from BT-wholesale to TalkTalk-wholesale we nearly trippled our download speed. From sub 4Mb and falling to over 10Mb.

I find I am in the same situation again. Unfortunately I cannot remember what setting I need to get changed and who to call and ask to get it changed. Anyone out there know what the heck I'm on about. Could it be http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/interleaving.htm perhaps? -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2014-02-04 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread on mailing list: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue

Or step back a bit and tell us the symptoms that make you think the fix for a modem, removing a DACS?, needs repeating. :-) Cheers, Ralph, who still has his 33.6K modem. -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2014-02-04 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread on mailing list: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue
