When should I turn Interleaving off?

As the post title says really. I've had my connection activated today (a few days early, ty plus.net  Wink ) and I'm wondering when is the best time to ask for Interleaving to be turned off? I'm not sure if I should at least wait for the 10 day period of ups and downs to end before I go ahead with it.
On a slightly unrelated note, how many times do I want to be powering off my router during the 10 day start period for the connection?
Thanks.

Re: When should I turn Interleaving off?

Just realised I have another quick query. Is it possible for me to get my upload speed uncapped (my exchange is 21CN WBC enabled) and how long is it likely for this to take? Again, do I want to be doing this whilst my connections 10 day training period  has only just started? Unsure if there will be any negative effects.
Thanks.

When should I turn Interleaving off?

First of all, sorry I've posted this again. I posted it in the Gaming section of the forums which I've realised probably wasn't correct. However, as the post title says really. I've had my connection activated today (a few days early, ty plus.net  Wink ) and I'm wondering when is the best time to ask for Interleaving to be turned off? I'm not sure if I should at least wait for the 10 day period of ups and downs to end before I go ahead with it.
Also is it possible for me to get my upload speed uncapped (my exchange is 21CN WBC enabled) and how long is it likely for this to take? Again, do I want to be doing this whilst my connections 10 day training period  has only just started? Unsure if there will be any negative effects.

Re: When should I turn Interleaving off?

Questions answered in turn...
Allow at least seven days before you request interleaving to be turned off, as the line needs to figure out what the optimal SNR margin (amongst other things) should be. We don't want to over-complicate matters by turning interleaving off before we've figured out how your line performs.
Power your router off as little as possible. The only time I would ever recommend to power it off is if it has connected a a significantly lower speed than your line estimate. You can find your synchronisation speed from your router stats.
With regards to uncapping your upload, I'd again recommend to wait at least seven days to allow the downstream to train in. If you experience disconnections, we won't know whether it's your upstream or downstream that's causing the problem if we allow everything to train in at once.
In short, raise a ticket after seven days and we'll sort it for you.

Re: When should I turn Interleaving off?

Hi shadowff6
I have recently gone through all of this. You can turn interleaving off straight away ( takes 24hours to apply I think) and you can uncap your upstream on which I think took 48 hours this may depend on what package you have as I am on Pro . On adsl1 I think you have to have the extra package and it costs you more to uncap.
I had read that if you should re-sync router in the training period but doing this caused me trouble and I was then told to leave it alone. If you have a good sync then leave it alone and maybe sync again at the end of the period. I tend to sync around 6am when i get up as it always gives me a better result.

Re: When should I turn Interleaving off?

Cheers Ben, answers everything. Little bit concerned as I've been powering my router off a fair bit though. I'm sure I read somewhere when signging up that it would help for me to do this...oh well. Sync speeds seem to have gone down from about 4.8mb to 4mb after a few router resets, I guess this is because it thinks I'm disconnecting when actually I've been switching it off myself.
