I could have asked the questions saying I own a Dratek router blah de blah
does it do this and my posts wouldn't be pulled.

Solwise's support doesn't seem to bad but the router set-up seems a little
complex and there seems to be perhaps a little less traffic on their forum
than the Draytek one.

I got a nice e-mail anyway today. Apparently they have users with 62db loss
on the line (possibly more unreported). Is this good considering I'm on the
outer range for ADSL at my exchange?
