| 689481 | 2008-07-16 08:22:00 | We turn our dsl 504t off everynight as all the office power here at home gets shut down at night, takes less than 5 mins to boot backup everyday | gary67 (56) | ||
| 689482 | 2008-07-16 08:45:00 | I think it draws about 10 watts which is nothing. This thread (pressf1.co.nz) may help with your other question, check the last post ;) |

| 689486 | 2008-07-16 09:57:00 | fizzle and crackle? A noisy phone line. Would vodafone fix it because i read the post and when i did the press one thing it did fizzle and crackle. would this be why my modem takes so long for the ADSL and status to light up? It certainly is more than likely this is at least part of your problem, ask Vodafone to rectify it. |

| 689489 | 2008-07-16 23:41:00 | is it taking a long time to 'startup' or is it taking a long time to get a steady adsl signal on it ?........(look at the lights on it to tell) if it's the adsl then maybe that phone line is'nt good enough |
