Interleaved

Would BT charge me to get this switched off? and also when i phone up would i get it turned off no problem... :eek:

No and No. No chage but highly unlikely to be switched off. The reason its on is to stabalise your connection so turning it off would result in disconnects and re-syncs. Not worth it for a slightly better ping.

I have been gettin re-syncs anyways and its never been on just rencently and never had any problems.

I have 2 adsl connections one is interleaved and one isn't and I must say that both are just as unstable as each other and I've just requested to have the interleaving taken off the other one as it does nothing but affect pings, my ISP said they had requested this from BT

strange, my brother works for pipex and he said they'll turn it on or off for you as people who play online games get a really high ping because of it.

Zen also let you request it on and off for nothing if you upgrade to 8mb max.
Not bothered so far as my pings are not that bad.

barrymacp · 23 Nov 2006 at 15:27

Well i will request to get it turned off today

Mr-White · 23 Nov 2006 at 15:54

was also told if people keep requesting it to be changed BT may start charging.

Ok after about 30ty times i got through to some1 who could barley speak english but anyways they gave me a line number it put me back through to same person :mad:

and she didnt have a clue any ideas?

Immsy · 24 Nov 2006 at 22:43

See what I mean about getting them to turn it off lol. Half the people on the tech helpdesk wont even know what interleaved is.

Dave85 · 24 Nov 2006 at 23:39

do most of you know what it is? you do realise its there for a reason and unless your connection has no noise and 0 errors and you live close your exchange your going to get issues. thats why its there to give you a better connection.

fastpath is not as fantastic as everyone makes it out to be.

barrymacp · 25 Nov 2006 at 00:11

Its just got put on recently i havent ever had a problem with bt i want this off but any suggestions.

barrymacp · 25 Nov 2006 at 12:18

I realy need this off any suggestions?

Immsy · 25 Nov 2006 at 13:07

There are no suggestions other than asking the ISP you with. If they wont do it you cant get it off, simple as that.

HomerJ · 28 Nov 2006 at 17:17

Only your ISP can place the order to change the interleaving status. When placing the order they can either specify the interleaving as ON which menas interleaving is on by default, OFF so that no matter what BT can not place interlevaing on the line this may result in you getting as less stable slower line speed or Auto which means BT will turn interlevaing on if they need to but it will be off to start with.

If you really never want it on then your ISP must place the order as OFF and be warned you may get much drop in speeds also your connection will probably be a lot less stable unless you have a good quality line.

Not worth the trouble IMO.

My previous connection with Eclipse

Interleaved: 20-30ms ping times with a totally stable connection.

Fastpath: 10-15ms without about half a dozen disconnects a day.

Present connection

Late 20ms interleaved with Sky. Totally stable.

barrymacp · 29 Nov 2006 at 09:21

I finally got through to them today

And they said it will take 5 days to come off Do yous reckon it will come off and he gave me a refrence number to incase it didnt.
