Upgrading Netgear DG834G (V3) firmware

I heard elsewhere that it also improves holding on to poor

Since the upgrade I've noticed that the connect speed has
dropped from around 4.3Mbps to 3.3Mbps, and the Noise margin has
gone up from the 0-5db range to 8-11db.
This will hopefully result in less/no dropouts, so I'm not
unhappy about the drop in speed.

However, I had also suggested to my ISP that the dropouts might
be caused by the exchange's ADSLMax controller trying to be too
generous with connect speeds, resulting in Noise margins
touching on 0db and hence dropouts.

So I don't really know whether it's the upgrade or BT that has
caused the change...

Anyone else noticed a diference yet?
