Following some technical tweeking at Freeolas end my connection is now interleaved? (dont ask) and my data rate reduced (less appears to be more) my connection is much more stable now. It appears that a MAX connection is not always the best way forward, I have an older modem router its a connexant supplied by freola and this may in fact be adding to the troubles.
However as I say things have improved Sun to Monday we had 35 losses of signal. interleaving was acticated on Sunday evening and from Monday afternoon to Wednesday Morning only 3 losses of signal but none in the last 24 hrs, so reducing the data amount and interleaving has greatly helped. In real terms reducing the data rate etc has actually speeded up my results on speed test pages? (can that be correct?)
Santa is nearly here so I have told Chocoholic (Mrs Digi) that Sanata should bring a new modem router this year! do freeola still sell modem routers? or can they recommend a suitable replacement? not a dear one santas not a millionaire since bingo stopped :-)

The ZyXEL P660HW-T1 is very good. I have a similar model with VOIP and it has loads of features and is very stable.

Am I right in thinking the ZyXEL uses the Texas Instruments AR7 chipset?
If it does, there has been quite a lot of bad press recently -from 'The Register' for example and I see the ISP Zen no longer recommend/supply them.
I appreciate it's not all lines and exchanges (types of DSLAM) that are having compatibility issues, but personally I wouldn't take the gamble with an AR7.
I see Freeola also supply Thomson Speedtouch [URL]http://freeola.com/shop/speedtouch-adsl-co-3002-uk.htm[/URL] I would prefer one of them!
I've recently switched to a Speedtouch 585v6 and haven't looked back. My experience with different routers.
I think the list most people are referring to is here , which lists the 660M-67 and a link to an article referring the the 660HW-61 (why do they have such confusing model numbers?) but people are mistakenly assuming all 66* routers use the same chipset.
