As rockdoctor says. You can also do it yourself if you have a suitable version of the Netgear routers, and you can tune it more finely than the single 3dB step support can give you. For instance I can run fairly stably on about 2.3dB, and as I don't mind a couple of disconnections per day I often run lower than that.

Yes we would like to hear about your issue on Access, but right now, we know O2 had Acess Capacity Issues on their BT Centrals. We know they are trying to implement traffic shaping. We know it's...

Sounds as if BT haven't correctly jumpered the PSTN network to the O2 DSLAM. They may have left it connected to the (Orange or) BT Wholesale one. The layout is that your line is connected to the DSLAM and the PSTN service is connected to the DSLAM to get onto your line.

Read all the pages inside this one except the "ADSL router locking up" one. Particular things to check are the time of day you connect, Sky boxes, ring/bell wires, plug-in extension cables and builder-installed extensions. Plus possible faulty/missing filters. It would be a good idea to see what the stats are connecting the router ( during daylight ) into the test socket on the...

Whatever the connection speed, the download speed is going to be far better . The 1meg estimate is junk - your current stats tell us the truth - just over 2Mbps the same as now.. On that line, after the first few days of DLM, you will probably squeeze a bit more if we force the O2 Box to ADSL2 instead of ADSL2+. Let us know how things go. Bob's broadband help site: ...

Give it a try. I got my SNRM lowered to 3dB and the speed increased a lot. The connection has been very stable (although there are a lot of errors recorded), so it suits me. If you don't like the stability at 3dB you can always get them to put it back up.

When you say you are not in range, do you mean it is available on your exchange but you are too far away, or are you on a different exchange from two streets away?

Some people find they need a 20-minute disconnection or so to get a different router to connect. I never had that problem. However I recommend using the O2 box until you get the message saying things are fine. The speed may increase as DLM runs until you get that message. Then it is switched off. Messing at the moment, seeing as the Netgear doesn't connect, could upset the DLM...

You can certainly supply the MAC later on O2, bur a decent ISP should give you your MAC very quickly. I don't know about Be. The services are basically identical and run over the same network so if either gets congested then both will. Read MKD's costing document if you haven't already done so.
