10 Day Broadband Stabilisation Period

10 day stabilisation period.

Is there anything that should be done to get the optimum, or just use the
service normally?


Cheers

Don't fiddle with your router too much, even if you're not happy with
the speed, otherwise the exchange may think you have an unstable service
at that speed and start reducing you

Ah, nuts!!!

I have been rebooting the router numerous times and have actually been
getting lower speeds than the original! Kept rebooting to try and get the
connection speed up again!

What if I stick with it now? (Only been active a few hours)

Ali, this might help explain the process. Leave it alone for now as
suggested.

You will. BT will start with a fairly aggressive profile. If it sees the
line dropping due to noise margin reset too often, it will raise teh
noise threshold and you will reconnect at slower speeds. Once BT has
digested all this, it will set a rate for the line, and a noise margin
that will allow you to meet it. And a cap rate slightly below that in
order to prevent DSLAM flooding (the BRAS)

Try not to fiddle too much..it may well be that a forced disconnect odes
NOT actually impact this algorithm.

After ten days the line is fully tested and you should get a connection
speed abouut as good a compromise between speed and line drop as you can
get.

Be fine. Just leave it on 24x7 until it settles out.

Don't try and tune it up - apart from making sure that your internal
stuff is good (filters etc), there is very little you can do

Exactly the wrong thing to do.

Just leave it be.

After the initial ten day period, the benchmark for you line's speed is
set (and BT won't entertain a support call for slow connection unless it
drops substantially from that benchmark) from then on, the line is
continually monitored and speed adjusted to prevailing conditions, it
isn't fixed to the speed decided at the end of the ten day period.
