[UK-CONTEST] ADSL reverse QRM

[Roger Dixon]

Hi All

I've been having "random" issues with my ADSL connection.  When it works
well, I get a sync speed of around 6mbps and a BT line rate of 5mbps.

 

However, from time to time I get bunches of multiple disconnects and the
line rate can drop to 250kbps.  Sometimes it recovers by its self, on other
occasions my ISP has to reset the lime.

 

I now think that I've discovered the connection between these issues - it
would appear to be the 80m club championship events!!  

 

Before I start applying ferrites everywhere I thought I would see if anyone
else has suffered in this way.  The set up is a telephone extension lead
from the master socket to the router (Thomson TG585 v8), a short Ethernet
lead  to the main house computer, a long Ethernet connection to shack
computer upstairs and a wireless connection to a Sky box and other itinerant
laptops.
