O2 Broadband - Fast Path

[Jay]

A while ago I was told by O2 that this was not supported and would never be switched on for O2 customers, if you have also been told this then its a load of rubbish!

Today I checked my sync on my router (after I had upgraded the firmware) and noticed this

> adsl status
--------------------------- ATU-R Info (hw: annex A, f/w: annex A) -----------

Just a heads up for anyone who has also been told that interleaving needs to be switched on.

Thanks for the info..are you using the O2 Routers or another? Plus, has your sync rate climbed by much with fastpath on?
Cheers.

no, I am using a draytek 2820

Sync is much much better than expected, I was told 5 meg and got over 11 meg.

I didn't notice a change but to be honest I didn't even know when the change was made.
