Found this command:

dsl linerate {kbps | auto }

Will have a play tomorrow and see if it helps.

Seems the Zyxel had problems in the middle of the night:

WTF is going on? There is exactly 1 minute between the LCP Starting and Call Terminated on 4 occasions. That can't be a coincidence.

You haven't got a Sky box or anything like that on the line, have you?

CliffyG · 23-11-2006, 10:14

I have a sky box but never have it plugged in unless i'm trying to ppv.

Burble · 23-11-2006, 10:15

Time to shout loudly at your ISP then.

CliffyG · 23-11-2006, 10:17

Yeah i'm going to get them to do a full test tonight.

CliffyG · 23-11-2006, 14:30

Linerate isn't a valid command apparently so i can't force the sync speed.

CliffyG · 24-11-2006, 09:30

Zyxel has been synced for 26 hours now. It's definately looking like a problem with the Cisco.

Been having BT checking everything out the last few days and they came to the conclusion it has to be background noise. The engineeer came round today and fitted an NTE5 box to the front of my main socket. Got home, powered up the cisco and so far so good. Line stats are massively improved, no CRC errors at all:

Yup. NTE5 or XTE2005 is the way to go for these things. I'm getting consistant sync at 7,616,000bps and still have SNR margin to spare.
