PPP
can anyone explain in simple terms what a PPP session is?

PPPoA is almost certainly the correct setting for the UK,
OK if you are getting a lot of drops in your DSL then firstly do you turn the router off when not in use? if so then stop doing so, the router and the exchange need to learn each other for about 10-14 days, if you keep turning the router off it will never complete this learning and will cause unstable...

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

Also in the connection stats on your router check your signal to noise ratio (SNR) if it's below about 10dB then you are likely to get frequent drops in the connection, this can some times be cured by either plugging the router into the master BT socket, or by using a better quality filter on the line. if neither helps then asking your ISP to cap the line at a slightly slower speed is often the only cure.

line attenuation-------downstream, 32.5 upstream, 15.0
noise margin----------downstream, 15.9 upstream, 9.1
looks to be ok to me, i only ever reboot my router if the connection stays off, sometimes that works, am also looking into trying to connect it straight into the master BT socket but its not that easy here
