As you can see, there is a problem somewhere. I experience this almost every evening. I have submitted a ticket or two over the past 4 months regarding the problem, and had interleaving turned off. This has improved my connections ping from 11pm-6pm, but from 7pm-11pm its quite difficult to do anything on the internet with 4 pc's online in my household.

I'm having a similar issue. My Telstra ADSL2+ seems to work fine most of the day but between about 9pm and 1am it's pretty much unusable. It's been like this for a month or so. I've disconnected my phone, taken the filter out and connected the modem directly to the wall plug. I've tried a couple of different cables. Firstly, can someone point to the best modem settings that I should be using? I've read through the wiki, but there seems to be different settings suggested listed in different places. I've reset my modem a few times and tried a few different configurations with no noticeable difference...

I want to make sure I'm not doing anything dumb before I lodge a ticket...

Just ran a few bandwith tests and I'm getting:
Date Speed
March 26th, 2013 11:32pm 268.9 kbps
March 26th, 2013 11:31pm 184.9 kbps
March 26th, 2013 11:29pm 552.7 kbps
March 26th, 2013 11:28pm 1234.8 kbps
March 26th, 2013 11:27pm 748.5 kbps
March 26th, 2013 11:26pm 1455.4 kbps
March 26th, 2013 10:59pm 63.4 kbps

The 1455kpbs was straight after I rebooted the modem...

My modem/router is a D-Link DSL-2730B

I'm currently using these settings from the wiki:
- VPI - 8
- VCI - 35
- Protocol - PPPoA
- Encapsulation - VC-MUX

Let me know if I should include any test results.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Hi Matt,

I've changed my modem settings to those you've suggested. That and the port reset seems to have helped a bit, but it doesn't seem to be as quick as it used to be. I've done the tests and emailed you back.

thanks again.
