Hiyas fletch.

No there shouldnt be any problems as long as your router settings are correct.

Some problems that Ive seen in the past after being LLU'd are usually down to the router being set as LLC/PPPoE based.
The BTw system is a bit flexible on some exchanges and will accept either.

Your settings should be

Protocol/Encapsulation :- PPPoA (PPP over ATM)
Multiplexing method: VC-BASED or VC-Mux
(On some routers the above 2 settings may be combined as "PPPoA VC-Mux".)
VPI = 0
VCI = 38

And from 242 Kbps to 360 Kbps

So very happy

Your router should give you your sync speed - which is the actual rate you connect to the exchange at.

You can find out how to get your linestats from most of the common modems/routers here.
