But my line has been giving problems with iPlayer stuttering (even stopping completely) when playing HD at differing times througout the evening and night as well as streaming from other sites.
Perhaps it's as simple as congestion. I'll see how it goes over the next few days.
Edit: Streaming is nigh on impossible at moment and below is the current speedtest.net result (current profile 4000).

The first to 4992 with no sign again in the router's stats.
The second at around 13:17 to 5120.
Unfortunately, I was running RouterStats after a PC reboot yesterday evening.
NM has gone up to 9 whereas over the last week or so it's been oscillating betwen 0 and 1.
Is this a sign of an unstable line which needs further investigating or do I just have to put up with constant resyncs and and randomized NM?
Any help would be appreciated.

They're not showing on our connection logs:

Not sure what to recommend to be honest, perhaps try using the DMT tool to set the noise margin from your side of the connection?

Considering BT's speed tests have always matched the sync that my router is displaying I don't understand why the resyncs are not showing on your graphs.
Perhaps it's time to try a different router. I have both the Thomson V7 V8 - which would you suggest to me more appropriate in my situation?
Have added two BT speed tests; first around 7:30 this morning and the second a few minutes ago.

I'd need to log in to BTs systems and run a sync check for that, but it'll only show the same thing you're seeing in your router - I can do it if you wish but not sure there's a lot of point as things stand.
The resyncs aren't showing because - as Jojo has mentioned a couple of times before - if there're only a couple of seconds between the router losing and then regaining connection it's not noticed by our RADIUS servers.
Router wise, it depends on which one works best on your line. The only way to tell is trial and error I'm afraid.

Sometime yesterday evening between 7:30 and midnight it resynced aty a little under 4000. so now my profile had dropped to 3000 making watching (streaming) iPlayer in HD impossible.
During the course of the night it had resynced to 4256 and a reboot a few minutes agoand it's now 4416. So, my profile will rise to 3500 which doesn't really allow streaaming HD.
NM is back up to 12 so I don't see a decent sync rate happening anytime soon.
No discernable noise on line, no other changes made so why is this happening. Can I have the NM reset (again), please?

Having connected the router and set up the relevant password, IP addresses, etc. I updated the firmware from 8.2.7.7 to 8.2.7.8 which went smoothly.
I realsie that at tjis time of day it wouldn't sync at a good level but will reboot in the morning around 10am.
I have attached the current stats which shows the current NM as 12.5! That really seems too high, but why?
I will now attempt to run RouterStats and see how things go over night.

I can see the router resynced just before 9am. It's now a more respectable 4928.
That should give me a profile of 4000. Shame it didn't rise back to 5120 for a 4500 profile. Oh, well...
Thanks Jojo

BT profile has risen to 4M. Any chance you could give the PN profile a little kick for me, please?

Has anyone managed to get a version of RouterStats to work with the Thomson 858 V8 (firmware 8.2.7.8) ?
If so, what settings did you use?
Cheers
Edit: Already had another re-sync - down to 4800 (NM at 6)
