Hi gerryhall,
It seems that those 3 drops yesterday have caused your line to be banded. Have you made any changes to your connection set up?

Re: why is my speed dropping

no i havnt made any changes at all in fact i wasnt online for much yesterday so when it did  disconect i didnt notice im going to dissconect npw though and plug into the master socket and leave it in there in case its that causing problems apart from doing the firmware upgrade last week to v8 i havnt changed anything and the reason i did firmware upgrade was because i noticed lower speed than my last modem i only had this modem deliverd last thursday

Hi gerryhall,
OK, well for the time being while it's banded you won't see the connection rate go above 9728. We have some information about it here

Re: why is my speed dropping

ok thanks jojo
    so what sort of timeframe am i looking at for my dlm to rise and my banding to be removed and my ip profile being put back to what it was ? the one thing i thought about that may have caused dropouts on my line last friday was my flat was having some work done on it and power had to be switched off but thats all done now
    thanks Gerry Smiley

Hi Gerry,
As it's not chronically banded it should come off in 3-5 days barring any other instability.
