How long for 02 BB speed to settle ?

Usually the DLM ends in 7-10 days, but although uncommon it has been known to get stuck and stay on

BTW, did another test (wired), and got a whopping 14 meg ! - sadly, it didn't last.

The average is about 12/13 meg which isn't too bad I guess.

its not considering overheads etc on the connection

I've heard good reports about O2 support - Be must be really good if they are better.

Mind you compared to Virgin's Indian call centres where they follow a script no matter what you say, anything would be great!

BE are in bulgaria (i think) but they are fantastic

Virgin tech support always asked us to download actual games files to test download speed - try downloading an actual fime and see what you are getting.

So when my SNR stops changing I will know that DLM has stopped?

Well hopefully they know what they are talking about and don't simply follow their script regardless.

They do, and they also interact with customers via the forums too and there is a great wealth of technical knowledge/people in there.

and Yes hopefully to the DLM question

Should the average be more than 12/13 meg (taking into a/c overheads) ?

Can you point to a certain file that'll give an estimate ? - I don't really do that much downloading.

Oh, and just googled as to how to get the full stats; they're as follows :

Uptime:0 days, 3:43:42

DSL Type:G.992.5 annex A

Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]:1,274 / 16,349

Data Transferred (Sent/Received) [kB/kB]:0.00 / 0.00

Output Power (Up/Down) [dBm]:12.0 / 18.5

Line Attenuation (Up/Down) [dB]:8.5 / 18.0

SN Margin (Up/Down) [dB]:6.5 / 6.5

Vendor ID (Local/Remote) MMB / BDCM

Loss of Framing (Local/Remote):0 / 0

Loss of Signal (Local/Remote):18 / 0

Loss of Power (Local/Remote):0 / 0

Loss of Link (Remote):0

FEC Errors (Up/Down):173 / 13,332

CRC Errors (Up/Down):173 / 395

Good or bad ?

SN Margin (Up/Down) [dB]:6.5 / 6.5

That to me says there may be a problem with something as if your attenuation is 18db then you theoretically can get 21Mbps (maximum) and 12Mbps (minimum) but your 16Mbps (sync speed) is kind of in the middle, are you plugged into the master telephone socket?

Not yet.

But I'll do that later (bit awkward at the mo').
