You should be okay because you're not having any loss of errors. You do have some other errors but the standard modem they send is known to misreport errors I believe. Your best bet is just to try it. If your line becomes unstable, just have it turned back on.

With interleaving turned off and a 3db profile, you should be able to reach 24MB or close to.

Also, if you aren't using any extensions, you could try plugging directly into the test port.
In normal port, I was only getting 13MB down and tons of errors (bad wiring). In the test socket, I get the full 24.5MB and my connection is rock solid.
 
if memory serves me correctly the test socket is a phone socket, so you'd need to use a microfilter to use the adsl line to it

i dont think telephone extensions (like slave sockets) make a difference (i might be wrong though)

i have the main master socket in one room and at 3 other slaves around the house which then are connected to phone an sky etc.. and ive still used the test socket in that configuration

Those bits of cable that plug into your master socket and give you other phone sockets somewhere else.

Make a difference to what?
They certainly can have an effect on your ADSL service but to what extent depends on a million different variables (length and quality of cable, shielding, interference frequency and amplitude).

i was assuming that Tripnologist thought using the test socket would not work with extensions attached. I have all my extensions wired behind the socket rather than having the extension sockets hanging out at the front
 
Thanks all for the help so far. I'm still a little confused around the test socket. On the back of my BeBox there are two green sockets with phone maked above. Are you saying that i connect my phone cable, using a splitter to that instead?

In terms of my connections, i have two other connections (sky + phone) to the same phone socket as there is only one phone jack in my studio apartment :(

MasterSocketTest.PNG


thats the test socket, in the BT master socket at the wall

the cable goes from the router as normal to the test socket in the wall
 
I was under the impression that using the test socket disabled any extensions run from that BT jack. Just remember reading it on the BE forums before. I could always be wrong as I don't have any extensions.

That's the case if wired correctly, as the extension should be wired into the back of the faceplate, like that shown here (4).

Any idea if my line is good enough to take off interleaving? Would love lower ping times :)

Just a quick note on my speed with Be*. On bog-strandard IPStream ADSL I was getting between 4 and 6 Mbps, on be I sync at around 12700kbps and with ATM overhead taken into account get around 1.3MBps (megabytes per second) download speed which is just a shade over 10Mbps.

This is with the lower SN margin, a few error seconds but never loss of framing. You can ignore FEC errors as the speedtouch misreports them. A good tool for seeing how you fare speed wise is

just post your stats into that and it gives you a nice summary and some pretty charts (if you select the show graphs checkbox).

I would guess that you probably have a wiring problem. Thats what mine looked like before I had BT put a test socket into my flat. (I didn't have one).

Nah it's just higher than it can actually handle thus the errors, but keeps stable regardless of the errors. If upped my SN margin back to default the errors would be far far less, but so would my speed. Happy as it is & hardly get any discons where it's at now.
 
Be* used to be good, but the quality of the service at the moment is terrible...

I used to be getting 1.4MB speeds constantly, but now on a good day I struggle to get over 900kb/s. Sync rate is a lot lower. a lot more (Speed/disconnection/DNS/Outtage) issues and terrible customer service over the phone.

Suppose that's what happens when everyone jumps on the same bandwagon. :(
 
TBH, i have noticed the speed drop a little but not much. I have never had to call customer service as my internet has never gone down.
