O2 Broadband new connection :)

Hi all ,

Just been connected to the o2 16mb service this afternoon and just got one and plugged my DG834GT in and sync'ed at 13.5k not bad

I noticed tho in my connection status I know get this:

What is the leaseing at the bottom guys? Is this to do with the 10 day "line training" thingy ?

Thanks

its the time your ISP leases you an IP address, after this time is up, your IP will either change on a new lease or will stay the same on a new lease.

nothing to worry about

Was just downloading at 1.4mbs and the router died and reconnected at 12.5kbs..... I take it my line was not stable at 13.5kbs

??

After another reboot its only connected at 11900k now

Is this normal all this changing?

no idea about the workings of ADSL lines/modems, so i have no idea about that sort of issue, seek help from someone else with an ADSL line

It'll steady out if you leave it connected.

Do I leave it connected mate or disconnect it every now and again for a few days to force the reconnection?

If you need to reconnect (router crashes or whatever), it's hardly the end of the world.
