2. Basic Monitoring
Basic Monitoring provides ping time, packet loss & quality metrics, comparisons, graphics and optional weekly report via email for your Residential Line. We require that you reveal your ISP, location (zip code or country) and speed, so we can provide interesting public statistics. Business Lines must use premium monitoring. edited by mjf Visit the "Control center" (http://www.dslreports.com/schedule/signup/your 6 digit account number), and click "edit" next to any line monitor. You will then see a STOP MONITOR button at the bottom. Thanks to PIKE for help with this entry. by KeysCapt Absolutely not. Three tiny ping packets are sent no more than once every 10 minutes. This is considerably less than even the background "noise" a typical DSL or cable line has on it. edited by KeysCapt Monitoring is free for a week after we get first data from your IP. Dynamic IP setup time, or configuration to become pingable is free as well. Deduction of Tool Points happens after the first week of data is received, and weekly thereafter. edited by KeysCapt The dynamic monitor you setup is allocated a unique number. You can get this unique number from the link Line Monitoring Control Center.. it is the 6 digit number displayed after the text identifying your line monitor. This six digit number is your "account" number for this line. You must provide the dynamic DNS client this number, it goes into the Host Name or DNS Name field. by mjf |
