Re: can my connection go any faster JOJO PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN OR OTHER ADMIN

so if we stay connected we should get about 4 megs still need to reconnect the sky if it holds but will cross that bridge when i get to it.
thank you very much for your help so far  Smiley hopefully you can check back and i will post when either i disconnect or even better when i dont and am about to reconnect the sky box

Now don't touch the new setup for a minimum of 72 hours, and DON'T switch the router off, this will give the line profile a chance to raise - hopefully to around 4meg.
During the next four days, just keep an eye on whether you are still experiencing line drops.  Then post back your results so we can suggest your next move before changing anything.  Wink

Are you using the test socket or the master socket

You need to use the test socket behind the lower half of the master socket and see if the line remains stable.
Using the master socket means that your internal wiring could still cause problems

ok not sure i see how the test socket uses different wiring to the master as i will be plugging in exactly the same plug in just behind the faceplate  the only wiring is that which runs from the bt socket to outside i have no other cables attached

If, when you remove the lower faceplate, there are no wires attached then you are correct but if there are then that means you have internal wiring which can affect things

In which case the test socket won't be necessary at this stage.
I think you will need to wait for a Digital Care Team member to arrive on Monday and have a look at the stability of your line.
The best thing you can do now is just leave it alone with just the router and phone connected so that they can see what is happening

just to say since i  changed PPPoA to PPPoE yesterday for the first time i am still connected the next day Online Time 1 days 0 hours 9 mins 10 secs doesnt usually hold beyond 15 hours so if this hold  i s there a chance they can up my speed there end i wonder down to someone from admin to answer that one for me
