Don't worry about not being there for the full 10 days, as long as you are there for 3 or 4 it will have enough time to asses your connection and set things accordingly. It may still cause interruptions the next time you connect but it should not really affect your use.
Do you know how far from the exchange the home is? The further away you are the lower the signal quality so the longer it needs to asses the best setting for your line.

If you have a router you could set it up on a timer to come on every day for a few hours you wouldnt need the pc connected.

Quote from: qwentyman Re timer, thanks Pierre-Pierre and shutter. Got a couple of digital timers (for lamps).
one of them will do the trick..... set the time, for ON and OFF, plug in the router, plug it into the wall, and have a nice holiday for 10 days, when you come back you will be all set up and running at "up to " 8 mb !

The mechanical switches have a 'tipping point' where for a few seconds the connection is sort of between on and off, with the current arcing between the contacts as they move further away from each other. This sort of current is inadvisable to feed into anything other than an incandescent lamp.
The digital ones work via a relay, so the moment when the switching occurs is much closer to being instantaneous, and is therefore less likely to have a negative impact on the delicate electronics of your router.

The analog ones are great for normal bulbs though, and shouldn't give any problems for them.
