I'd like to suggest that anyone experiencing micro-outages contact Wayne
with the details, as he has offered in this message.

Our connection has gone from about 5 micro-outages a day to none whatsoever
in 4 days after an adjustment of "noise margin" made by Wayne :-)

The reported maximum line speed is considerably slower, but I can still get
about 375KB/s max from NZ sites, so I'm not complaining :) It seems that
the ADSL modem/exchange can be somewhat optimistic about what speed they
negotiate for a given line quality and end up trying to go too fast for the
conditions, particularly if the line quality varies with time, as I suspect
ours might. (Perhaps a sign of this is that after each micro-outage, the
reported line rate was wildly different, varying from 5000-6200)

Regards,
Simon
