Question Author
think i know what you mean, mine seems to be PPPoA, my downstream seems to be 8127kbps with upstream at 1017kbps
i have been told to check these as my internet connection drops a few times each week,especially at weekends, just updated firmware on my netgearDG834GT so its not that, speed test is usually around 7meg, keep thinking about going back to cable as this adsl is so unreliable,,the annoying thing is the people in the know are able to fix their problems but the rest of us get nowhere
oh well, thanks for the answers
