For anyone who has upgraded and plays online games, have you asked for the interleaving to be switched off to reduce latancy?

Also what kind of speed is everyone getting?

I get 3.5 Mb. Latency appears unaffected so interleaving hasn't been switched on (yet). Might take a few days before BT decide to switch it on.

Anyone care to tell me what this interlacing is and where to read up on it?

Not noticed any problems here yet once the line had settled down. Still 17ms to my game server.

How bad is it Dave? 10 ms I can live with, any more and I'll have to ask for it to be turned off.

Hmm, I thought it was on by default. Do they only switch it on to improve a dodgy connection then?

The stuff DemonDave pointed me to state that Interleaving will be set to Auto by default, which is off. The system will turn on if the line is struggling and turn it off again when conditions improve. At least is that is how I understood it.

spot on - I was promised a 3mb connection and I am getting 5mb so my auto settings seems to be on to enable a poor connection to be quicker

I will see tonight on the server how bad it is - my ping was showing as 30s before and I am now seeing 50s but then I have to weigh up downloads against game playing !

Dave.
