I should normally connect at about 10000. I've tweaked the SNR at my end and connect speed does not alter.
Can somebody have a look and reset it please?

My line is pretty stable now I have the Billion 7800N. 2.3db SNR on a 1.5 Km line.
I did a restart of the router now and the speed has not changed....
I know I have to leave the router turned on and not to restart it. (The dragon takes off the wifi antennas so the kids go without!)
I wonder how one can tell when the banding has been removed?
(I'm not impatient.. Just curious to know in case the line gets banded again.)

Taking off the WiFi antennas is not going to do the electronics much good.
Does the almighty 7800N not have a WiFi off button? I expect that it has restricted access time controls, but that is only of use for predictable sanction times.
Do you have an old wifi router which you can configure for the kids use only as a router (only) and Wifi AP? Your dragon could then simply turn off / disconnect the "slave" router (thereby terminating the kid's internet access) without causing consternation for your line's DLM.

If you press and hold the WPS button on the back of the 7800n for 5 seconds it toggles the wireless on/off.

I'd have pressed the button but the kids can get to the router and press the button. The wifi antennas are replaced with 50 Ohm dummy loads.

I'm surprised I'm getting FEC errors. It must be after the MTU was reset to the correct 1500 instead of the 1492.
I guess the BT ducts are full of water yet again. OK I'll wait another week and see if the errors clear themselves before deciding to get Openreach out.
I might bite the bullet and go for FTTC just to get 10000 instead of 6500. 10000 was really nice speed for us.

Hi,
That's good news - smart dragons though can be right dangerous
Sadly there is a real glut of those commodities on the market these days
There is every likely hood that what ever is impeding your current service will also markedly impact a fibre service - most faults are on the d-side of the network - cabinet to premises.
