Background:
- I've been with Telecom/Xtra broadband since around February this year
- I'm in Half Moon Bay Auckland and apparently a long way from the Howick exchange (5+ kms)
- because of that, was intially told by Telecom that they couldnt supply me with ADSL
- I've had my house wired with a dedicated ADSL line
- previously speeds have been "ok" given the above details

I read today on another forum that Telecom had turned off the interleaving settings for my plan.
I rebooted my modem/router and have noticed the connection type as showing different.

I am concerned though with all the errors that are showing up:
eg. (copy/pasted from my router)

Status   Configured Current Line Status --- SHOWTIME Link Type --- Fast Path

Data Rate Stream Type Actual Data Rate Up Stream 725 (Kbps.) Down Stream 2438 (Kbps.)

Operation Data Operation Data Upstream Downstream Noise Margin 12 dB 12 dB Attenuation 78 dB 59 dB Defect Indication Indicator Name Near End Indicator Far End Indicator Fast Path FEC Correction 0 0 Interleaved Path FEC Correction 279 24806 Fast Path CRC Error 0 0 Interleaved Path CRC Error 9 110 Loss of Signal Defect 0 --- Fast Path HEC Error 0 0 Interleaved Path HEC Error 15 0

Do these errors seem to indicate a problem?
Or it is just down to the long distance I'm from the exchange?

I'm on a VPN to London everyday. would it be better if I asked to have interleaving turned back on?
