Re: Unsure what my ADSL is doing...

Yup - the FEC count has increased by 120k.
Router reboot? Issue at the exchange?

Re: Unsure what my ADSL is doing...

I'd try a reboot in the first instance and see what happens after that.
We aren't seeing any FEC errors being recorded at all.

Interleaving is back on? I don't get it. Speed, latency, and reliability were all top notch for the last two days.

Re: Unsure what my ADSL is doing...

Yes, it is Sad
WBC 160K - 24M Medium delay (INP 1) 6dB Downstream, UC Low delay (INP 0) 6dB Upstream (ADSL2+)
The order I placed was to turn it off completely, so I'm not sure what's happened there. I'll try another order to complete tomorrow, we may need to dig further if it's still on after that.
That's *if* I'm able to place this order, as technically I'm not making any changes!

Re: Unsure what my ADSL is doing...

The order Chris placed has completed but your line is still showing as having interleaving.
I'm going to look into this a bit further

Re: Unsure what my ADSL is doing...

Thanks, Matthew.
OT - a chap I met in PC world told me he was getting more upstream than he was downstream on ADSL with BT. He's even closer to the exchange than I am apparently, about 250 yards. Maybe he was talking twaddle, but he said his downstream was 4-6 and his upstream about 8 Mb. Is that even possible? I don't think I'd ever want such a set-up, but I found it interesting nonetheless.

*edit
My router is showing no FEC errors atm, up or down. Also, speedtest is returning the same pings I had before (15ms lower than interleaving on). Only at 18.8 rather than 19.2Mb though. Weirdly, the plusnet speed test has me higher than BT wholesale think my IP profile is (20.02 rather than 19.44), almost identical to my result on Tuesday.
I don't want to reboot the router in case it syncs lower than 22000!

Re: Unsure what my ADSL is doing...

On ADSL(2+) you get a maximum of around 1Mbit upload, with up to 24Mbit down. He was mistaken with the upload if he was on your technology.

Re: Unsure what my ADSL is doing...

Is FEC confirmed as being off now?
Nice and stable gaming last night, the only little lag spikes seemed to be server related.

Re: Unsure what my ADSL is doing...

I've not seen any errors on the test that I've just run.
