You've gone from fast path to interleaved. Interleaved can inject up to 64ms of latency, in each direction, ontop of the normal line latency. (IE say 12ms loop time, interleaved can bump that up to 140ms latency.) Interleaved is used to trade latency for line stability. I'm not sure of the specifics on that however. Basically, you set your latency tolerance on the dslam, up to 64ms for up and downstream, and dependant on line conditions, your latency will vary between base loop latency and the max allowed by your tolerance. On a good line, you won't see any latency injected, a poor line will run right up to the tolerance and still retrain due to errors. You need to ask the telco why they've changed you from fast path, and request that you get put back to a fast path config. You MAY be able to restrict your dsl modem to training fast path only if they have your line set to auto for signaling. Joshua Coombs
