Re: Sky Broadband

If you are on a prefiltered ADSL master socket you don't need filters else where on the line, only worry about the SNR if it starts dropping lower but at that level any issue on the line can drop the connection pretty quickly.
Keep a check on the connection with Mossywell and check your errors and LOS levels after a week or two, you may not even notice drop outs as they normally re-connect quickly but I had to sort mine as I need a "static" IP that I can guarantee for at least 4 hours per night so any reboot of the router caused me to disconnect.
If you do get any trouble call through to TS late in the evening if possible as our call volumes drop sharply towards end of night and get them to troubleshoot for intermittant connection and point out your SNR level to the CST if you get put through to them.
Oh and happy new year.... guess who is on call Jan 1st lol

I use Mossywell utility as my attn is 63db and snr hovers around 6.5 but rarely get drop outs, just re-boots.
System up time just tells you when the router last rebooted, not the last time it dropped signal connection, my up time is 21 days and counting but I know I have dropped connection at least 4 times in that time.
I use this as well as mossy
