To satisfy your curiosity about my recent history, prior to the last resync nearly three days ago I had an unbroken uptime of about 76 days. Early on in that period my SNRM dropped by about 2 dB (a new crosstalk disturber presumably), and it stayed at just below 4 dB for the remainder of the uptime. Not suprisingly, when the connection finally dropped three days ago it reconnected at a lower speed.
