Having problems with our ADSL line. Zen have given their usual excellent help (I mean that sincerely...realise it could be read as being sarcastic...Zen are the Tops in my book) but our Open reachcabinet was flooded to the top back in 2007 and the insides are starting to corrode. Have had the Open reach engineer out but Zen tell me that they are still seeing occasional problems although not sufficient this time to keep dropping the line. But as long as we think our connection is OK then they, understandably, won't progress things further with Openreach.
But there's the thing...sometimes sites seem a tad slow. Is it the site? Or is it our line causing errors?
So I thought if I got a router that allowed one to Telnet in and see what the line stats are then I could see if the error rates were bad at that moment in time.
But, here's the thing....I have no idea what routers will provide this. I did get a secondhand Draytek as that looked like a possible option based on some research but the model I have doesn't give that info.
So...any experts out there ?
TIA
