Re: Is there any way to know where my Master socket is?
The only time I rebooted the router myself was when I woke up and saw the speed had dropped yesterday. I guess the router must have been having issues beforehand and I never noticed.
The sky.com page with my information is still showing my old stats I assume it will show line testing again in the near future but in the mean time I remember someone saying one way to gage how long the process had been going on is to look at the up times of the LAN and WAN ports. when I look at these 2 ports what should I see to give me a indication of when DLM possibly started?

Best thing to do is take the WAN uptime and subtract it from the current time.

If there were errors on your line, you would probably have not realised.
When looking at the stats that members post, much of the information is based upon experience in order to get the best from a connection. However there is a small element which can be seen through the stats to indicate possible errors, but they can also develop at a later date.
Ignore the Sky.Com page. Mine indicates that I have a 4Mb connection (see my stats below), so I tend to consider it with a pinch of salt.
The router does display the 'up time' for WAN, WLAN & LAN. If you look at the WAN time first thing when you get up, you might see that it restarted around 2-3am. This is the clearest indication that DLM is running.
