Can't say I've had any problems with my Sagem router, been totally rock solid!
*touch wood* mine too
Same here. Not one disconnection since installed in late July
edit - I have left my machine downloading at 1.8mbps all day and night before. I think for £10 a month this is not possible with other companies without getting a letter or capped speed at a certain time

it says i should get between 10-20mb my stats on my adsl24 8mb line are
SNR Margin 8.0 28.0 dB
Line Attenuation 31.8 18.0 dB
Errored Seconds 0 0
Loss of Signal 0 0
Loss of Frame 0 0
CRC Errors 0 0
Data Rate 8128 448 kbps
Latency FAST FAST
any idea as to what I can expect my adsl24 is running ok again for now so I hope i don't regret swapping to sky

I'm guessing that is the down attenuation that is 31.8db? If so, how on earth can he then sync at the full 8128?
My stats using o2 router on o2 Access -
Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 448 / 6,688
Output Power (Up/Down) [dBm]: 12.0 / 19.5
Line Attenuation (Up/Down) [dB]: 14.5 / 23.0
SN Margin (Up/Down) [dB]: 25.0 / 14.5
The down attenuation is always 26db on Netgear. No idea why it's 3db higher. I use that DGTeam firmware to decrease SNR on Netgear and could not get anything better than 8064 sync.

With that SNR you should be getting 8Mb/s (im guessing that's the cap on Access?).
Sky had screwed around with my SNR profile at first and my speed was capped at about 15Mb/s, once they changed it so it synced at 7dB instead of 13dB it went upto 19Mb/s.
These are my line stats
Connection Speed 13393 kbps 916 kbps
Line Attenuation 34.0 db 17.2 db
Noise Margin 6.4 db 8.0 db
But you have to remember about line quality, distance & other factors also, but i'd imagine you'll see about 15mb possibly? don't take my word for it though
what do errored seconds and crc mean are they bad? I reset router couple hours ago

I have been with Sky on the unlimited BB for almost 18 months.
At first it was rock solid, although I could only get about 4meg download speeds. I was happy because it was stable as anything.
Roll on to August this year and I get an email from them saying that they are going to increase the speed of my BB product
Start of September, cue random disconnects and modem appearing to be freezing up.
Read about DLM, so called them up. Had to go through the usual stuff, test socket, etc. No better, so transferred me to Tier 2 support.
Was told that my SNR down was dropping below 6 from about 10 and this was causing problems.
They said that they had altered some settings and to give it a couple of days.
Did a couple of speedtests over the next few days with maximum connection / download speed of about 1.5mb
I am still getting problems now, but have since cancelled my Sky package and switched to Virgin an their 50meg BB.
Sky have been pretty good on the CS side when I speak to someone from the UK, but the deal I have been offered for the Virgin package is pretty much unbeatable (have a friend who works for them and has got me "mates rates", so it works out a 1/3 cheaper than my comparable Sky package)
