@orainsear - you may well have something there about 'slight faults', etc. I'm fairly sure that a good part of my line to the local exchange is semi permanently water logged, but how do I prove that ? Before I joined Plusnets trial I had been with them since June 2007, and had only ever connected at 8128/448. When I went onto the trial, for the first 6-7 weeks I saw speeds of upwards of 11939(d) with SNR of around 6-7db. Something (strange) happened overnight 23/24 June and it's been completely bizarre ever since. The new 21CN DLM would only allow my line to run with an SNR of 15, even after intervention by BT engineers and Plusnet support staff, so there came a time last week when I decided that I'd had enough. They're now moving me back to the ADSL Max product to take effect this coming Friday.
