Day 3 of DLM

hi here are the stats from the test socket.

I think you should phone Sky and start complaining. Your router has been up for a day and a half which means it did not resync as it should have done if DLM was still running. The row of 0s against the LAN is also a bit strange and may indicate you have a faulty router. You should be getting the maximum figure quite easily, so something is amiss.

To add on the 0's beside the LAN section - I just changed over to a sky d-link today and I get the same (connected wirelessly of course):

Port  	Status  	TxPkts  	RxPkts  	Collisions  	Tx B/s  	Rx B/s  	Up Time

Yes I have now realised that if you are using wireless on a laptop and don't have the ethernet connected, this is the result you get with the Dlink. I am not sure why, probably something to do with power saving. It does not happen on the Netgear with my Desktop, both are shown as connected on the router, whether they are enabled on the PC or not.

Updated router stats are:

ROUTER STATISTICS

Still though when I take an online speed test I'm only getting 2-3mbps. Any ideas why?

Thanks in advance

seems to be ok now.

Router Stats are now:

And speed test results are:

Speedtest.net does not always give consistent results. Use Sky User - Broadband Speed Tester and check it with thinkbroadband :: UK Broadband Speed Test

You are also using wireless which is a bit slower than ethernet. Plug in by cable and check your results.

I been online with sky for more than a day now and so far my speeds hasnt changed one bit.

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 4095 kbps 605 kbps
Line Attenuation 27.5db 15.6db
Noise Margin 15.5db 19.4db

Surely the DLM should have started changing the speed a little bit? My sky account page says line training is not on but when I phoned SKY last night the girl said its on but im not so sure. Any one know how long it takes before the DLM starts doing changes in the speed?

[Isitme]

It can take up to 3 days for DLM to start adjusting your line. It resyncs your line in the early hours, around 2.30am.

OK thanks just have to be patient then I guess, hoped it started quicker. At least I know now cheers!

Seems its kicked in as I have a bit more speed this morning.

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 12749 kbps 945 kbps
Line Attenuation 27.5db 15.6db
Noise Margin 6.8db 15.3db

Does it usually go in "small" steps like that? Was hoping to get a bit more.
