Speed Up Your Internet Connection

What causes CRC errors on an ADSL connection?

I am having an issue with my ADSL connection. More speed = more CRC errors, which lags the connection. Sometimes I'll get around 30-50 a second the the line disconnects. I would like to know if anyone else has had a problem that they can't nut out. Have changed modem, installed a Central Filter, etc etc. My house wiring is fine. Edit : I have already hit the ISP with line testing and the such. They can't fault the line, to a degree. Changed my modem 2 times (tested with 3 modems), 3 technicians have come to the house and say it's fine (the house). I am 6 kilometres from the exchange, which is just outside the ADSL capabilities, but I am trying to understand, where these CRC errors come from. Can it be noise related in the line. Can it be a copper wire failing or a connection that got wet and corroded? Can it be a faulty DSLAM port or the exchange? Line faults intermittently when I get an error rate over 30 a second. When the error rate is lower to say 1-2 an hour, it's stable. It has failed on 1500K and 3,700K speeds

1. Where do you get CRC error messages ? It is the telephone line you have to check. which may be intermittent. When your Internet connection goes out lift the telephone and check the dial tone is present. If not call your telephone company or ISP
2. You are experiencing Line errors. CRC is short for cyclic redundancy check. I'm thinking the problem might not be on your side. your best bet is to call your service provider and have them check transmissions from your point to theirs. I'm sure they will fix your problem.
