Hi All
New to this but after reading KITZ advice on ADSL I understand a lot more - thanks!
I've just upgraded my connection from 512 to 8Mbps with Virgin and after a long delay in getting my router to sync I've now managed to connect but my speed fluctuates enormously, see below, (connection is stable with no drop outs). When I checked my Broadband Status via the router I noted I'm getting a lot of Super Frames and RS Word error, see below - what does this mean and is there a way to correct them? I've changed my MTU to 1400 to match Virgin but still get these errors.
Running on Microsoft XP with Wireless BT2100 router
Any help welcomed!
Kev
