4Mb line keeps losing sync..

[feo]

I just upgraded from a 384k line to a 4Mb line and had photonman increase my upload speed to 640kb from 384 and my router keeps losing sync every few minutes.

Any suggestions on what I can do? This never happened with my 384k line..

this use to happen to me coz i was too far from the exchage , so they put it as high as they could where it would be stable , they put me to a 2048(2mb) line

Well there's an exchange down the road from me, a few hundred metres or so.

You have to ask Photonman to lower the upload speed I'd rather wait for Telscum to roll out the new upload speeds than to do it the way you okes have.

Are you sure that is where your dslam is located?

For years mine was steady then within the last few months I had to be downgraded first to 2mb and now 1mb due to sync issues.

you might have a faulty line , log a fault

Yeah I think I'll do that. Maybe I'll just wait a day or 2 to see if the problem sorts itself out, if not then I'll just revert back to 384k upload speeds.

Nope, not sure at all really. All I know is that there's a Telkom exchange nearby and I'm just assuming that's where I connect to.

My line has been perfectly fine for over a year now, it's only now (after thae upgrade) that it on occasion loses sync.

that happend to me , i had to downgrade to a 2mb line to keep it stable , it could just be some bad weather? but i dont think its that , request telkom to send a adsl specialist
