ADSL Login Delay - How long?

Hi,

Any ideas? I use the HG23 access point and my Vigor router can take up to 10
minutes to connect. ADSL detection is OK and delay seems to be the server
login process when I view the router activity page. I assume that the line
is OK as once connected I have no erros at all on the data side with
hundreds of MB transfered.

Could this just be that the BT/Yahoo server is busy a lot of the time?

Only solution at present is to leave the connection always on.

Thoughts appreciated.

Thanks,

Stewart

I've just turned my router off and on a couple of times, while running
ping news.plus.net

Turned off after the 2nd response, it comes back on the 27th and 28th
packet, so around 25 seconds here.

Sounds very like a BT problem. There were so many longstanding
problems with their network on dialup, I didn't even consider them for
ADSL. Negociation failures, no answer, dropped connections, DNS which
worked about 60% of the time...
