I asked for it to be removed and got an approx. 5600 connection, but not long after, the D/S SNR jumped up to around 15dB and I was banded back at 4540...
I became resigned to this and had a pretty stable connection for months, but on 11/08/10 I noticed that I'd got a D/S 5630 with 6dB SNR (with no prompting from me!)
That was great until 13/08/10 when the sync speed dropped to 5079 with around 5dB SNR, but still good enough for iPlayer HD!
On 15/08/10 I noticed that I'd only got a sync speed of 1941 with around 9dB SNR, but only a couple of days later realised the cause - I'd connected a mains powered USB2 1TB HDD to my Apple AirPort Extreme - It was only when it had been connected for maybe an hour or so that the Internet connection dropped, and when it reconnected it was very slow...
After I'd realised this, I removed the USB2 HDD and left everything powered off overnight, but when I powered back on next morning, I only got a connection of around 2200 with around 16dB SNR!
I've tried power cycling the router a few times (with several days between!) to see if the speed would increase but I'm still stuck at 2269!
It's extremely stable, but I'd really like to try to get back to the 5000+ if possible!

It's not just a case of a nudge, but I see that your connection seems a lot more stable now. I notice that the banding was placed on it after your interleaving was changed to fast path. May I suggest that if the banding is removed we put interleaving back on to reduce the chances of it being banded again?

To be honest, I hadn't realised that it had changed to fast path; I use RouterStats to monitor my Netgear DG834v3, and even now it says I'm interleaved!
Whatever you can do would be much appreciated - I had no issues with interleaving before!
Many thanks in advance,
Tim.

I have now had the banding removed and interleaving on, this should make it more stable. It shouldn't take too long to take effect so let me know how it goes.

When they increase, I'll disconnect & reconnect the routers' Internet connection and see what speeds I get.
Thanks again Jojo

I did the router disconnect / reconnect, but my Current line speed (via the Portal) is still 1750...
Any chance of a bump?
TIA,
Tim.

Also, my PlusNet reported line speed is still stuck at 1750, even though the BT IP Profile is 3500... I was expecting it to have caught up before now! (5 days!?)

Any ideas why it hasn't caught up, even after a week?
