I was off line for a week due to my ADSL connection going down.

Did anyone notice?

chirp chirp …. As usual, the symptoms were bizarre. The ISP had move my POP to a new IP, so I bounced the router to pick up the new IP. Things were working well before hand.

After restarting, my rate was half of what it should be. So I restarted again, and it was down to 1/4.

Then 1/8th

1/16th

1/32nd

Nada

After some profile changes and resets and some helpdesk issues, I finally got a tech out who found a fault on the copper.

Why did it only appear after I reset my router? Who knows….

In any case I am now back up and with a slightly higher speed than before.
