We can send you a Thomson TG585v7 for £6.99 if you stay with us for another year.

I assume you can deduct the £6-99 from my bank account via direct debit.
My Netgear seems to be trying to use g.dmt to connect and the wireless end suffers.
(Don't ask me why).
What is the expected delivery date?

I'd actually need it to be a one off card payment.
If I order it tonight, I'd expect you to have it on Tuesday, Wednesday at the latest.

I've located the CLI interface manual for the Thomson TG585v7 and it's 700 pages long

Attached is the most recent graph from http://www.mybroadbandspeed.co.uk Overall everything is pretty stable, if a little disappointing.
Interesting point however, BBC iPlayer on my iphone this morning seemed pretty smooth without any annoying pauses so overall an improvement here although You tube on the same device was a bit hiccupy. Obviously using wifi for that but a wired imac for speed test.
Cannot do speed test with iphone as it's a flash based test which doesn't work on the iphone

Quote from: pnf ... there is a tool that gives people an estimate of the speed that their line is likely to provide.
Interesting that BT tool has over the years I have had ADSL has slowly changed the information it reports from showing 2.5Mb to now showing 1Mb!
If there is anybody else out there that has kept an Eagle eye on this noticed the same would be interesting to know.
Now BT has a vested interest is doing this so people do not complain.

My new broadband was activated today and so far there has been a notable increase in speed. Bearing in mind my first test was at peak times I am very happy with the results. Please see attached pre and post ADSL2+ modem screenshots. I am not sure if PN needs to update my BRAS profile.
Early days yet.
The speed test showed over 10MBps of download. I would have been happier with a snappier upload but I guess I'll have to wait....

Quote from: Word It would be too simplistic to say that as I was getting around 50% ± of the "up to 8M" connection that I could expect around 50%± of 24M but to actually get around the same after several reboots of the modem indicates that there is a long way to go yet.
Doesn't work like that unfortunately. ADSL2+ works best on really good short lines, if you can get above about 4.5-5Mbps on ADSL then you'll see an increase in speed with ADSL2+. If you're below about 1.5Mbps again you'll see an increase in speed. But for lines between about 1.5Mbps to 4.5Mbps the actual speed is unlikely to increase by much. Have a look at the graph here:
http://www.internode.on.net/residential/internet/home_adsl/extreme/
If you're in that middle band then ADSL2+ doesn't really do much to increase the speed unfortunately.

Quote from: gm4jjj Yes James, I am happy to continue testing as it does give us some idea of how this all works in real world difficult line conditions.
I am wondering if I mucked things up by forcing a lower S/N figure here? - It now appears that the exchange have somehow limited sync to just over 3000 and I cannot get above that figure whatever I do with DMT tool.
That's probably the DLM kicking in, with what it thinks is a very unstable line it has a new set of line profiles that work differently and cap the max speed, so long as it remains stable it will move the line profile back up the chain and let it sync at a higher rate.

That's disappointing to hear, I was kind of hoping for a bit more speed up and down but it seems I'm at the optimum
Latest graph attached after latest modem reboot. Notice it dropped down again.
