interleaving switched off

[#1]

Hi, been with plusnet a month now & reading about interleaving on this forum
just wondered who to contact to turn it off ?
i do a spot of online gaming on a ps3 & usually join a game at 80 to 100 ms ping
my ping tests to london on the pc are about 84ms
do you think having interleaving turned off will improve gaming ?
cheers Bob.

Welcome to the forum, My answer to your question is firstly i would consider just how stable your line is first.

Hi & thanks for the reply
am not to teccy  how do i check if my line is stable ?
Cheers Bob

Well is your line speed the usual? Any major disconnections? Do you get disconnected from the web a lot? And whats your router stats like? By which i mean hec errors,fec errors etc?

No disconnections my line has always been sound & never had problems
router stats:
ADSL Link  Downstream  Upstream
Connection Speed 8128 kbps 448 kbps
Line Attenuation 4.0 db 2.0 db
Noise Margin 10.4 db 21.0 db
not sure about hec errors,fec errors etc ? but will google & try to find
Cheers bob.

Your stats there seem fine, just give plusnet a call or raise a ticket requesting interleaved to be switched off and see how you go.

No expert myself but i think your line stats are fine,you can ring Plusnet or raise a ticket explaining to them that you want interleaving off as your a gamer and see how you fare, Takes 24hrs to get it switched off and if it does cause you any problems you can get it switched back on again.

[#9]

hi, as a noob (as peeps call me on mw2    ) where/how do i  raise a ticket ?
Cheers Bob.

how come there syncing at a fastpath rate but there error counts look as thoe interleaving is on 

[#12]

hi & thanks Steve M & Oldjim
have sent a message to Help and Support requesting interleaving to be turned off
Cheers Bob.

Hi Asbo Dog,
Not sure what any of these numbers mean ?
they have allways been the same since my exchange was upgraded to 8mb 5 years ago
back then i could get that but its about 6.5-7.0 mb now on a speed test
but i can see the exchange from the back door

It should also be pointed out that whilst BTw state that applying interleaving shouldn't reduce your line speed, it does reduce the maximum line rate achievable from 8128kbps to 7616kbps due to the additional overhead required for check bytes. Note: although BT state 7616 is maximum sync speed with interleaving, many instances of higher sync speeds have been reported by users. This is dependent upon your router being able to support S=1/2 mode which effectively combines two RS code words into a larger logical code word of 510 bytes (ANSI T1.413).

And no - I don't understand it either
