Ive recently changed my ISP, and now want to see if i can tweak my connection to give some better speeds.

I recall from my last change, that you have to allow a period of time for your BB speeds to stabilise on new set ups.

I don't want to play around with the system, only for them to think i've got probs, and drop my speed to make it stable. ( i want to up it )

The usual time to wait is two working weeks before it settles down.

I've never understood this settling down thing ??

Computers don't settle down...???

::. Kitz - How MaxDSL works .::

for MAXdsl its typically 3 days but can be up to 10, ISP's will typically hide behind the 10 days before pushing faults etc.

From website :

During the first 10 days on MAX details of your logon/sync events are recorded in an Event Collector which every 15 minutes then sends this information to RAMBO.
RAMBO collates events from all users and analyses each users data over a 10 day period to find the Maximum Stable Rate (MSR) for their particular line. The MSR is set from the lowest achieved rate over this 10 day period rounded down to the nearest 0.5Mb. A notification after this period is sent to the RAP profile and your ISP.
During your first ever log in to maxdsl, information is sent from RAMBO over to RAP which forwards the details over to the DSLAM at the exchange in order to set your sync speed.
Sync speeds (and Data Rates) for poorer lines can and will vary over the this training period and users may experience frequent disconnects and slower speeds until their most stable rate is found.
The 10 day training period is often referred to as the "Stabilisation Period", and will only commence once a line has been in sync for 15 mins or more - not necessarily the date from when the line is maxed. There is a rolling 10 day period which allows flexibility if for some reason sync is not attained during the immediate period after the line being maxed (such as holidays and the router is switched off).

I thought ADSL2 ( Mart, you are on Be* IIRC which is ADSL2+) didn't settle and was instant on connection. I may be wrong though on that one

ADSL2+ has no settling in period, it will run to the max speed the line will take ( or the profile max, whatever is the lower )

If you are experiencing slower than normal performance, check the line SNR on the router.
