Money for a new router isn't the issue at all, it's just that I'd prefer not to have to... I like the stability of the Netgear I've got and all my NAT rules etc are already in there!!
Yes, I am near Blackpool too, so it is a little north-west of Manchester. The lines Kitz set up weren't round here though. I don't know anyone who's on Be, I may bite the bullet and ask on ADSLGuide, but then again, I may just chance it.
My line does have an intermittent fault, it seems. SNR will plummet down by around 4dB or so, then hours later it will just as suddenly go back up to normal. I survived synced at 8128 non-interleaved for about 6 months on a 6dB target profile, even though the SNR would go down to 0dB (and CRC errors would rack up during that time), so whilst I have a problem, it's not that bad. It's obviously *something* in one of the neighbouring flats.
Having said that, I haven't checked it for ages, so I've just re-started MRTG and will have a look over the next day or two to see what's going on!
I have also been browsing TBB's Be and UKO forums, and I've seen that Be are now using some form of DLM, but there doesn't appear to be much info available about it. Don't really wanna jump out of the frying pan into the fire - but I wonder if UKO will follow suit!
