So I was browsing another forum and reading about people "forced onto Interleaved" connections and now their speeds are slower, their pings are higher.
These people are then told there is nothing that can be done - instability on the line has forced it and your telco cannot manually change the profile.

Having a nice quick fibre connection (my speed tests give me more or less as good as you can get on a 80/20 connection) and having good ping (11ms to BBC, 10ms to Microsoft for example) I just assumed I was on a good, stable connection and that I must be on Fastpath.

Turns out I'm not, I'm on interleaved.
So what effects should I be seeing on an interleaved connection over a Fastpath? I'm really not seeing any speed drops and latency seems to be as low as ever.
I'm not that worried and I also know nothing could be done - just interested what symptoms I should be seeing on this "inferior" way of being connected?

I'm back with my Vodafone router at the moment - it seems to think I am:

A Ping to BBC still nets relatively low latency:

As I said, I wasn't particularly worried as my connection seems quick, stable and low latency and at the end of the day nothing can be changed.
Just wondered if there was a "classic test" to see if interleaved was having any major effect on a connection.
