Tweaking your net connection

[Zirax]

Well I have been playing with my net connection over the past couple of days. It all started with totally random disconnects on Sunday, continuing on Monday whereby the router would not hold a connection. Eventually I was raised from an optimised 3db profile to 6, then 9. It was totally random when the disconnects would strike.

So I got busy with tracking down possible improvements to my line. Previously all I could get was 7mb at a push (SnR down to about 0.5).

This site shows which wires to disconnect. I had an old extension that I promptly removed from the master socket and removed the other unused wires. At this point my connection jumped to 7.5mb with a 3db SnR Certainly I am less likely to get disconnects now and got .5mb extra.

Worth a shot if you are on a lousy line like mine. It's about all I will get on this line.

Edit:- Also, get a DG834GT and apply the DGTeam firmware on it. With the Be box I sync at about 6.4mb. With the Netgear 7.5mb. I can also play with other settings like not allowing ADSL2+ connections as this is rubbish on lines with high attentuation.
