Been having a bit of fun and games with ADSL since moving house. Have had the issue checked out, and other than some extra unused wiring in the house, which the Telstra tech disconnected, there are no known issues on the line. The Telstra tech's test unit can sync at nearly 4Mbps, and a Bigpond router (not sure what brand these are) will sync at 4.2 Mbps. However, I haven't had so much luck. A loan Netcomm router from Internode was able to hold just under 3 Mbps, which was acceptable, however, that has since been returned. According to Internode, the line is 4.6km long, and I can expect 3-4 Mbps. What I'm looking for is a router that is known to work well on long lines. Doesn't need to be anything fancy, I will most likely put it into bridge mode and put the existing router behind it (which will give me VoIP, IPv6, etc). Just need something that can hold sync at a reasonable throughput on a long line. -- 73 de Tony VK3JED http://vkradio.com
