Be have been stung quite a bit in the past with problems on long lines so, not unreasonably, have limits on what lines they will accept.

Indeed... and I dont blame them.... but as we can all see, the line stats from the OPs router would appear to prove that this particular line should be fine.

I think the OP needs to get back in touch with BE..  most of their CS are pretty good and unlike some of the larger SP's understand the basics of adsl.
In this particular instance it would appear there is something wrong with their info.

I would re-iterate that

~ the line is 29dB.
~ already connected at 7616 on adsl 1 with a projected 15Mbps on adsl 2+
~ Other sources that use the BTw database are showing the correct loop length.

It may be a case of just keep trying until you get through to a CS rep that will do this for you.

Well it would appear the info is wrong - I spoke to Be to place my broadband order with and everything (so far) is going through OK. Link goes live in 2 days time (Fri 18th Feb). They agreed the BT data is just sooo wrong.

So hopefully, better speeds come end Friday!

I am now a Be Broadband user - and ye s I do have faster speeds both up & down. Just a shame it's not that bit faster than 9.8Mbs d/l. I can get 10-11mbs but at the expense of a less stable connection.

So, my trusty Draytek modem has been removed and currently using the supplied BeBox - does anyone have an alternative adsl router they can recommend. I am trying to convince myself to buy a Draytek 2830 (mainly for VPN, 3G backup amongst other things) but an expensive model and no guarentee of same speeds.

Any advice gratefully received.

cheers

It would be interesting to see the stats from your BeBox.  ;)

As for alternative routers, the DG834GT is a favourite among Be users, provided it does what you need. 8)

And get into the Be forums and have a look around, there's loads of info there on routers.

The DG834GT doesn't do the 2 main things I want BUT might get a 2nd hand one off of Ebay just to try it against the BeBox.

What stats are you after? My u/l d/l figures are 1,083 / 10,524, SN Margin 9db

It is my intention to also try both a Netgear DG834GT & a Netgear DG834PN to see if they can improve anything? I will try with Netgear's firmware first, then try out with DGTeam firmware.

Hi

But you do seem to synch at a higher rate

Quote Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]:   1,278 / 12,988 which seems just about spot on for your attenuation.

The 9.8Mbs was before with INP2, I am now running INP1 so yes my sync rate is that bit better!
