I have a couple of queries if someone knows the answers!
1. I have heard conflicting views about whether O2 employ a 10 day training period like what I was on when I was on Max DSL?
Does anyone know if this is true?
2. I have had to use the O2 router as the router that I used to use (a SpeedTouch 585 v6) won't work as the router configuration settings can't be entered as the router firmware won't let me do this as the values that I want to enter aren't selectable
The settings that I want to enter are here
Does anyone know of a way?
I've tried running the SpeedTouch Set-Up CD that came with the router but no joy
p.s. I'm overjoyed that I made the move to O2 as I'm getting 1 Mb more downstream speed and over twice what I was getting on upstream (448 Kb)
Uptime: 0 days, 9:52:44
DSL Type: G.992.3 annex A
Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 1,118 / 4,802
Data Transferred (Sent/Received) [kB/kB]: 0.00 / 0.00
Output Power (Up/Down) [dBm]: 12.0 / 19.0
Line Attenuation (Up/Down) [dB]: 31.5 / 54.0
SN Margin (Up/Down) [dB]: 6.5 / 6.0
Vendor ID (Local/Remote): TMMB / BDCM
Loss of Framing (Local/Remote): 0 / 0
Loss of Signal (Local/Remote): 0 / 0
Loss of Power (Local/Remote): 0 / 0
Loss of Link (Remote): 0
Error Seconds (Local/Remote): 20 / 0
FEC Errors (Up/Down): 577 / 577,462
CRC Errors (Up/Down): 577 / 568
HEC Errors (Up/Down): 5,178 / 430
I've forced the router to go into ADSL2 mode as this means that my attenuation hasn't risen (I was getting 54 dB attenuation on Max) but going to ADSL2+ not only makes my connection less stable (in the evenings) but my attenuation rises to from 54 dB to 58 dB
I came across a way to force the O2 router to use ADSL2 or ADSL2+ mode as I can't use the DMT tool because I can't configure my SpeedTouch 585 as mentioned above and I don't want to mess about with the O2 firmware in case the firmware flash doesn't work and I'm left internet less
p.s. I'm saving £150 a year to boot!
