Noise Margin

[#1]

Doesn't your router show up time?

[#2]

no mate, it's a bt2700hgv, and it says how long it's been on for and current connection time, but with all the gateway hopping i do (to get a decent ping) i cant take it as uptime.

[#3]

ny target snr is already up to 12   

[#4]

When you gateway hop do you reboot the router or do you do a disconnect/reconnect via the router interface which drops the PPP session while staying in sync with the exchange?

Yes it does!, as long as its not powered off if will record the time and stats for each connection ( resynch ) on the 'DSL diagnostics' page. If its got version 5 f/w then you can get the stats at http://home/xslt?PAGE=J42 ( you will need the system password ), if its version 6 then I believe you get to it via Broadband -> DSL diagnostics.
In the training history section of the page it records, for each resynch,  the end time , initial and current SNR margin , speeds and error stats.
See attached example which indicates a resynch at 2009/11/07 18:12:06 ( since that's when the first connection ended ), a resynch at 2009/11/14 18:40:14, and the current ongoing connection with todays date/time.
You can also see details of any resync in the 'detailed log' ( http://home/xslt?PAGE=J34 on v5 ).

i connect and disconnect while still staying synced to the exchange. 
@ misterw  where can i find the system password??  I'm using the singtel firmware if that makes any difference

[#7]

had a telephone engineer here today , he rewired my nte5, he said that A and B wires were the wrong way around.  would that have been causing the problem?

I think its '2wire' for the singtel f/w. This site http://bt2700hgv.tripod.com/ir1002700HGV.htm is the best place for info on the 2700 this page might be useful http://bt2700hgv.tripod.com/052.htm

[#9]

seen that site before , and password doesnt work for me

[#10]

I'll check tomorrow , one of my colleagues is running singtel f/w, I'll check with him about system passwords. I'm afraid both of my 2700's are running BT firmware!

[#11]

Looks like i have a line fault?  was connected at a modest 5k yesterday and it lost sync, noise margin 16 when i rebooted router.  Can plusnet do a line check for me? i'm off to work

[#12]

Tried to raise a fault, but the options were speed or no connection  
Edit: I'll leave router stats on tonight, have resynced at 4672.

[#13]

I have managed to hold sync at that speed, do you think it would be worth me getting a netgear dg834gt as they are know for holding sync at low noise margins?

Sorry about the delay, but I've now checked with him and his password is definitely '2wire'.

[#15]

I have bought a netgear dg834gt, hopfully it will remain connected at the low noise margin's unlike the bt2700hgv
