I could put the Siemens Gigaset SE572 Orange gave me back on but, I can't monitor it and it spazzed out a lot.
TBH I think I'm just going to have to ride out the rest of my contract (providing it stays at 8Mbps).
The secondary help is as usless the first - the only advantage is they ring you. I posted (Wed Jun 02, 2010 3:43 pm) "Now the second line support are messing me about doing line tests that show no faults and I was told today that they can't do anything else unless it drops below 5Mbps! "
At the end of the day I had a 8.8Mps for 4 months after I changed my contract (from 8 to up to 20Mps) and then it went wrong.
I've now got 8.02 Mps and most of that was done through a firmware upgrade and a router change. If it stays at that speed I'll be happy.
I was originally with Freeserve and then Wannado bought them out, I didn't have any trouble with them.
Dealing with Orange support has been truely soul destroying.
Just a quick update but since my last post, I have not had a single DLM resync!
Currently running at 12meg down, 1 meg up.
I can tweak my router and I can get 14 meg but have decided to leave it at 12 meg. I am expecting the upload to eventually end up at 1.2meg but the main thing is for me is that I have not had those crazy DLM resyncs 4 or 5 times within 10 mins every morning.
Fingers crossed!

Got the latest DGTeam firmware and it certainly seems to have done the trick.
Had one DLM sync yesterday which slightly improved my download.
My SNR is quite low for Orange, 8.4 and 6.5, maybe they have relented.
I am very pleased, I will see how it goes over the next week or so.
new user, how do people know when their system has DLM? ( i don't know what DLM is but i presume it's something to do with Orange monitoring your line to test speeds?)
i've had home select since march/april when i change from Sky, even after hearing the horror stories and was greatly pleased, one of the first at my exchange on the service and was getting consistent speeds of between 10-15mbps jumping upto 18mbps on occasion which was brilliant as i thought the lines round here could only handle 8mbps.
3 months of this and then i presume they ran a DLM as speeds dropped to as low as 4mbps and have now settled at 7.5.
how have they got this magical figure, the line was stable and consistently 10mbps for 3 months, is there anyway i can force a DLM?
any other way to get my speeds back up?
and just had 3 days down time because of PPP fail, is this common?

Maybe. I've been running with a 50% reduction of SNRM via the modded firmware giving me an SRNM of about 7.2dB.
Had an area wide power failure 3 days ago & when it all came back on my SRNM had dropped to 5.4dB with an obvious increase in download speed. Previously I would have needed a 90% reduction to achieve that.
I'm no longer prepared to put up with it, as I said in my last post.
Is this a good connection -
I told the woman from secondary support that the connection keeps dropping out and that any large files that I upload are always corrupted but she said she'd been monitoring my line and there had been no drop outs since she last spoke to me (even though I'd had to reset the router several times) and that the speed had increased from 7.2Mbps to 8Mbps. It was 8.2Mbps the last time I spoke to her. She then asked me if she could now close the fault?!
Maybe you guys can tell me why my graphs look like they do on a line that hasn't lost connection in two weeks.
I should also point out that the connection speed has varried from 3.5 - 11MBps in that time of, so called. solid connection.
Just a query to BBK and Tinytim - has your SNR remained at 8.4db and 7.2 (or 5.4?)db respectively?
If so is it the DLM has set it at this level.
I ask since way back I set the level on my Speedtouch router at 10db and now wonder if it would be better to let the DLM set it.
