im finally up and running.no worries,just plugged my router in and all sorted.just been having a look round the router.changed my password and went in to superuser.trying to familiarise myself with it all
not sure how to get my syats but ive done a speed test and its double what i had with sky and pinging the bbc i got 19-20ms.
i read the security is set on wep and wpa is best???how do i change it?

sky had me on gdmt and capped at 4mb,they said that was the only way they could get my ping down.my ping is already lower than sky got it and thats without any tweaking..21ms as of a second ago.they also said my line couldnt handle adsl2+.
is there anything i need to do or does it all look ok??

Your line will undergo repeated line tests for up to 2 weeks (O2 version of DLM) and so you may get a bit more speed but it's important not to unplug the router too much while this is going on as it could be seend as a disconnect.

I think everybody has seen a lot lower ping than Sky, I get 15-20 ms to the BBC and I think it's due to the better placed infrastructure that Be/O2 have over Sky.

what about security?is it right the router is on wep and if it is,can i change it to wpa???
also it says in event logs on my router unable to contact server: 82.132.141.225

is this anything to worry about?

The "unable to contact server" messages refer to an O2 time server (tells the router what time it is). I think there's been an intermittent problem for a couple of weeks now. Nothing to worry about though and it will have no affect on your connection.
