Re: SpeedTouch 516 Tweaking :)
Will do in a day or two, but right now I just want to observe the modem and compare to the SpeedStream. Got disconnections with the SS, although they were short and mostly I got the same IP address.
The 546 doesn't seem to have disconnected at all yet, uptime is 8h20min.
Once I observe it and know how it works better, will play with the extra settings.
How about the 'Transmit Power' option on the 5th tab panel? I have a feeling that it's intended to raise the DSLAM output power 9send a request for that anyways). That could help people with large attenuations like mine.
Yeah, I know 5 Mbit/sec won't happen on my line, but maybe I can get 4 Mbit. 
3 Megabit service worked well for almost a year before I had any problems. The wire length is about 4 Km according to Bell support people. DMT shows a vague estimate (3.8 to 6 Km) for wire lenght.
EDIT : used the TX Power option on 5th tab and a DSL resync. Seemed to raise the DSLAM transmit power from 18.5dB to 19 dB.
