Re: FWIW - IP Changes....

What is the difference between Interleave and Fast line profiles?
Interleave is a more robust, fault tolerant line shaping protocol. It has much more error checking than Fast and is packaged to be as impervious to noise as possible, at the cost of increased processing and latency. Fast is considered to be delay-sensative, yet noise tolerant. Fast data operates about 10 times faster than interleave data (2ms for fast, and 20ms for interleave), but will generate excessive CRC's if the line is even borderline in terms of "cleanness".

thanks dslknowitall In speed tests, Interleave is a little slower getting out the gate, but really no noticeable difference from Speakeasy or DSLR speed tests. I can deal with the higher pings if it means keeping sync during hefty uploads (smile).....

thanks again!

I had a slightly different problem than Dee back when I first had DSL and was on Interleave any time I try to upload a file larger than 5MB would result in a choked send. whatever method i used, IRC's DCC, FTP, ICQ sends etc. the upload session would be alive(until it time out) but nothing would be send. and the file CANNOT be resume. I did had some succes in IRC's DCC send by using a smaller packet size, but that slow down the upload speed =( of course Tier1 support was hopeless(excuse was if you can surf the web fine you have no problem) and Ticket to Tier2 disappear somewhere. I really havn't tried uploading large files nowaday(gave up trying to fix the problem) and i been switched over to fastpath since then. of course I can try again and see if the problem is still around

Well, I hope RESUME isn't affected.... anyway, anyone want to test me out? Anyone need anything? Message me!

I pulled my old post to the front. I resolved it by installing a 5861 router. Seemed to resolve the problem. Don't know if the modem was flakey or not.

5861's RULE!!!
