I think that is exactly it.

For some reason the connection time is not displayed with that setting, maybe just an omission in the firmware but not a fault with your router.

On the Status page under the WAN section for ADSL is the time since the last connect or re-sync , under MER I don't think we get this information.

Using ADSL whenever I resync this connect time is reset as I would expect it to be.
Am not sure what MER is - forgive my ignorance.......

In my WAN status I can see the "Connection" section where it should be showing elapsed time but I just see the word "Up". Could this have anything to do with my settings?

You can check your system log, for any disconnections. It will state ADSL down or something like that if a disconnection has taken place.

Billion UK support just confirmed that under MP0A its not currently possible to see the ADSL connection time.

I assume that this is my only protocol option on the O2/be* network?

I can see the ADSL link uptime on my status page. But I can't see anywhere else where that information is available - either in the CLI via telenet or through SNMP.

Is is there or am I just missing it?

When using MPOA (MER) this normal you will not see a connection up time, if you were using PPPOA instead of MPOA then you will see a connection up.

If you want to check for disconnections, you can check the system log on the router.

I don't have a choice being on the O2/be* network.

Presumably this will be addressed in a future firmware update?

I've always been able to view my current ADSL uptime with other routers.
