I still have the issue that I'm getting much slower sync rates than I would normally expect for any given SNR margin. When Jojo reset the margin a couple of weeks back, I got 1800-odd at 7db.
The web interface on the 7700 is slow, when the connection has obviously dropped it takes it a good minute or so for the GUI to catch up and show me.

Would it be possible to go back to the set up (router/filter) when we achieved the original highest rate, because, although you've bought new equipment, I'm not sure the filtered faceplate is doing you any good.

Done some more tests with the 7700N
test socket + good cable: 736kbps @ 9.8db
test socket + standard cable: 768kbps @ 9.6db
new faceplate filter + good cable: 736kbps @ 9.6db
new faceplate filter + good cable + phone: 736kbps @ 4.2db, then lost connection and resynced at, 384kbps @ 9.6db
unplugged the phone and got: 384kbps @ 11.8db
back to pigtailed filter in the test socket + phone: 640kbps@10db
I have tried with and without the phone plugged in before and it has had no effect, so it may have been coincidence the connection dropped at the same time.

I plugged the Netgear into the test socket, and got 1216 @ 12db. Then tried assorted new filters with syncs between 416 and 960, and am now back to the original faceplate filter, which is syncing at 1152 @ 12db
I haven't time to do any more this evening, so it will have to stay like that for now.
I am becoming increasingly convinced that most filters are rubbish, and that this Billion is faulty.

I have been running Routerstats (under Wine on Linux) for the last couple of weeks so I could have a better idea of what is going on. The noise margin will sometimes be fairly steady for a couple of days, then the graph starts looking like a cross-section through the Himalayas. There is no apparent pattern to it. When it gets low enough for the connection to drop, the only way I can get it to resync at anything higher than 160kbps is to either
1. disconnect via the router GUI
2. unplug the filter
3. connect to the test socket,
4. reconnect (typically at 1100 to 1200kbps)
5. disconnect
6. plug the filter back in
7. reconnect again
or
1. disconnect
2. swap the filter for a different one
3. reconnect
The second method is slightly less annoying than the first, but the several filters I have all connect at different rates and only one will let me connect at over 1000kbps.
I can disconnect and reconnect until I am blue in the face, but it is always stuck at 160kbps unless I fiddle about as above. I then have to wait another 24 hours or so for the profile to lift.
