Thread: Swings in Noise Margin and Connection Speed :: General Broadband Chatter :: think broadband

The connection has stayed steady, same with and without the Sky cable connected to the Test Socket.

The Sky doesn't even connect to the internet until you actually use its internet services. Sky boxes can cause problems just by being attached to the phone line, they don't have to be in active use as far as I am aware.

Time to put the faceplate on I reckon and try a day like that, still without the Sky box plugged in at all. But don't do it right now as you will get a poor speed at this time of day. Do it well into daylight tomorrow . Looking good, as we now know it is not the line itself. All we have to do is add things one at a time until it screws up again, and we will have identified the cause. Replacing the faceplate is step 1. Bob's...

Notice that the TX noise had been 16 for a while, the TX speed is suddenly reduced to 256 - this reduces the noise on the line both RX and TX and this lets the RX-sync rise is response. What do you...

On first reading I was slightly concerned that your noise margin had fallen during the day...

It was prob caused by the connections to 5 and 2 at the extensions, removing the ring line may have disturbed them. If you have a choice the move the router to the master.
