Re: Sky BB speed issues - improving a poor noise margin

2nd stats...

Loads of errors! More than me, even.


3rd stats...

Seems a lot of errors, for only 8mins uptime.

Much better noise margin & synch speed using the test socket though

Have you considered removing the ringwire, getting an ADSL faceplate, improving extension wiring, etc. etc.?

For a proper look at your stats, I'd wait for Mossywell or Saturday at Skyuser to comment on them...they're the router gurus over there.




Noise margin varies through the day. When it gets really low, the connection can drop. However the Sky router does not always seem to realise when the connection has gone down, & so doesn't then reconnect. A reboot sorts it, as the router then reconnects at a better speed for the current noise margin. Maybe that's your problem, or part of it.

Mossywell at Skyuser has created "Bounce Sky Router", a little system tray app which monitors the internet connection & automatically reboots the router when the connections drops. You can also use it to issue custom commands, such as telling the router to resynch at a particular noise margin.
