I had connection issues with my broadband (adsl2+) that was finally solved by a new router. As part of the trouble-shooting interleaving was switch on. However this seems to be playing havoc with Skype calls due to the latency added.
Could a kind Plusnet person switch off interleaving for me, and check everything else is ok with my connection?
Thanks
James

Thanks Matthew, appreciate it.
I've just done a BT Wholesale 3rd test and got the attached report, which indicates some issues - so it could be more than interleaving. Could someone have a look for me?
Many thanks
James

Im connected wired direct to the router, yes I can see that sync speed at my end on the router stats, but only getting around 6mb on the pc speedtest. Its really odd! Win10 machine if that helps.

Hi there,
It's still not great, Im getting 5.8 down and 0.3 up - voip calls are almost impossible due to breakup when I speak (received isnt that bad). I was getting a fairly solid 10 down and no voip issues until this started.
I've even tried a different router (and adsl filter), but no change.
I'm running cabled with the router plugged into the BT master socket.
Any ideas?
James

Lets check the basics please...
Broadband is not going to work well if the "phone" line is not working properly.
Please perform a quiet line test - dial 17070 select option 2 using a corded phone plugged into the test socket behind the face plate of the master socket. It should be silent. A noisy phone line (or no dial tone) will have a marked adverse impact on the performance of broadband.
If the line is noisy or there is no dial tone, then a PHONE LINE fault needs to be raised with your phone provider. If this is PlusNet, you can report a fault on line using the button below. From the Q&A list, choose the one which matches the problem, 'open' the 'section' and click the trouble-shooter link. NB: If you receive a failure message (rather than a log-in prompt) then log-in to the user portal in a different browser tab and attempt to use the trouble-shooter again.
How is your line performing?
Please post your router stats; for PN TG582n and 2704n routers use the buttons below, for other routers look at the Kitz link.
Also run a BT Wholesale speed test (ideally using an Ethernet wired PC with the WiFi turned off) then run the further diagnostics and post the results here. DO NOT REBOOT the router!
Also find your CURRENT SPEED (PlusNet line profile) from the PlusNet user portal - you will need to log in.

Wow, thats quite a lot of homework 😉
Okay so, line test is fine - clear as a bell and working fine.
Router status attached, it seems to be syncing happily at around 12.5 meg down, 443 up
Current line speed from Plusnet profile 10.8mb
The results of the BT Wholesale test are attached to my 2nd post above.
HTH

Well, thats strange - this morning all seems ok again!
Perhaps I had a dirty connection somewhere on the phone line, and making/remaking the connections as I was testing everything last night cleaned off the contacts? Either way, its good to be back working properly again!
Thanks all for your help/suggestions - much appreciated.

Yes looking at these issues does need a bit of effort. Glad to hear that things look better, however I would be prepared for them to worsen again. Things getting significantly better after no apparent fix are somewhat indicative of bad joints on the phone line. You might notice that performance follows the weather, not so good when its wet and miserable, better when it is warmer and the sun is shining.
Damp joints can cause issues. The act of testing a line or using the phone can make such issues go away for while.
Thinking about next time (if there is one) the information being sought from the router is the xDSL (or sync) stats - on your router that might be 'behind' the SYNC button shown on the PPP session screen shot you posted.
It is essential that ALL of the information is provided contemporaneously - sync speed 'now' and a BT speed test done 'yesterday' (or even and hour ago) do not help inform what is happening.
Keep an ear out listening to the phone line nose REGULARLY.
