linetool has not been working for me. It will start the test, and then just shut down. Sometimes, if I am lucky, I will find the reports in the directory, but 9/10 there is nothing.

Hi Zertop,
I assume your tools are only fro Microsoft Windows? I use Ubuntu Linux happily until I have to fix a fault.

Hi There,
I have just redesigned my "Is it my Line" Tool to work on all OS's. If you'd like to try it - give me a shout
I won't be updating this tool.

Awesome tools you have here. When i try the bat file, it bombs out, to quick to see the error
When I try the bat file in update folder, i get the following :
Checking for new version...
The system cannot find the file specified.
Could not Find \diagtool\update\version.txt
start was enexpected at this time.

My ADSL connection at home:
My internet connection has been all over the place over the past month or three. I have logged numerous fault reports, and even had Telkom reset something, but it didn't help much. Last weekend I plugged in an old DLink 2540U I found at the back of a cupboard, and from what I could see, SNR [I noticed that this fluctuates] and attenuation statistics improved over what my 2640U was reporting. Now it's back to running at less than the 2mbps I pay for, and takes aeons to load web pages.
Any ideas as to what is causing this, and whether I should be reporting it to my ISP [Vox] or Telkom?
Thank you in advance.

I had a similar issue a few months ago whereby Telkom swore blind they had fixed the fault - after many fault reports, visits from the techies, etc, one bright techie decided to check for any line breaks - it turned out that there was a partial line break on our line near the exchange box - once this was fixed by Telkom (within a couple of days), the line has been running at maximum speed and has not dropped since... ask them to check for a line break, can't do any harm.
