|  31 Days Same PPP Session - 5660 PPPoE
This is a record for my ISP (Earthlink/Mindspring on Bellsouth copper) and for me. I can't believe that it's still going strong on the same IP/same PPP session (I do not have a static package - Dynamic only). Kudos to Efficient on the v2.3.0(7) Firmware's stability and to my ISP and the TelCo's stability so far. I used to only get 3 to 7 days on the same IP/PPPoE session before this last month. I'm really impressed. :D
My 5660 System Up Time of 38 Days is simply amazing to me.
My speeds are still stable, too. I have a DSL Receive Rate of 1472000 and a DSL Transmit Rate of 256000 provisioned by Bellsouth in Metro Atlanta.

|  Might as well post a line quality test result, too.  That way, I can point my ISP to evidence that proves how good my line was if it ever degrades or develops severe problems.

| It's now 38 Days Same PPP Session - 5660 PPPoE
Time for an Update!!! I still have the same IP and PPP session for 38 days and the Speedstream has not been rebooted in 44 Days. This is a World Record for me.
No Degradation in Speeds either.

| Very nice stats Doc. I'm quite impressed.
I also have a PPP session that's been going for almost 7 days now. That's a personal record (especially with Linksys in the picture). Lookout, I'm gunnin' for ya
Sorry I don't have any stats. Using 5360, so no interface for me.

Shameless Video Game Music Remix Junkie!! | 56K is good, you can benchmark your PC by leaving it on all day trying to D/L something. |

Ridgewood, NY | Wait, how can your PPPoE Session time be LONGER than your modem uptime... seems like your modem was connected before you even turned it on |

| I'm not on PPPoE. I should have mentioned that. I have PPPoA. My 5660 connects automatically for me. Also, just b/c my PPP Link Up Time is longer than my System Up Time doesn't mean anything. I took the screen cap of the System Up Time first, cropped the image, saved it, then did the PPP Link Up Time screen cap. That's why there is a 2 1/2 minute difference.

Almost 8 days. |
