I finally got to the bottom of my piss poor connection yesterday, apparently some cockjockey in Mumbai or wherever pressed the wrong button and got my line locked down to half a meg. Engineers went to the exchange yesterday and unlocked it, and I now have a somewhat reasonable connection rate.

This should settle down after 11 days hopefully, then woooooo.

Woo, finally works properly. What's the betting that when I come back after Easter it will be all crapped out again?!?

I'm with Zen. The main problem is the 3+ miles of crappy wire between me and the Inverurie exchange. My attenuation hovers around 64.5 dB. I used an ADSL filtered master socket from day one otherwise it would never have worked as house wiring is shite too. Nothing else available except satellite and that would be a ping of 500ms+

Living on the edge!!!!
