Yeah for some reason DLM didn't bump interleaving onto my line until after I was connected for four whole months without a single connection reset. Maybe the connection uptime counter overflowed and it got confused

I dont know whats up with VM apart from their local utilisation issues, but it isnt just youtube and peak time performance better, on VM simple web browsing I had many hangs and pauses loading pages meaning I had to use a proxy and these are all now gone, as was on the back of my mind if its a pc problem which now I know is not.

I have been saying this for a while (remember a couple years ago I bleated on about how actual web browsing was faster on BT 40Mb than on VM 50Mb, according to OFCOM's national statistics)

For me it was fine up until 20Mb came around, then when TSHTF 50Mb's DOCSIS 3 network came along and solved most of the problems in my area. Unfortunately it's all been downhill from there...

Nope. DLM knows nothing about PPP, it only cares about the layer 1-2 link between your modem and the cabinet.

Any router that supports pppoe auth with the username set in the hh3 and blank password should work?

Yes

Ideally I should set ppp timeout to something like 30 seconds or higher, so a modem resync event or other short lived outage maintains the ip?

I set mine to 60.

Is the dir615 good enough to route traffic at 80mbit/sec?

Yes. With the right firmware it can route at near gigabit speeds. However most firmware doesn't have hardware-accelerated NAT enabled, in which case it can do about 90Mbps on CPU alone but less if you use advanced features, e.g. QoS.

Also I agree with qas the design of the hh3 is light years ahead of the superhub, its much smaller.

Shame I never got mine to work properly. Its' RF amps were class-leading quality.

Some routers are just slow at booting up. My WNDR3700, which is the joint-fastest I have, takes several minutes especially after an initial flash, my DIR-825 with the same CPU and same firmware boots in 15 seconds.
