I've left the Billion router on while away. Before going the FECs were quite low, but yesterday's (no activity by me, DSLStats recorded  @ 14749443/hour, and today @ 49319738/hour.

Suspect that will be down to XdB being active the lower the SNRM decreases from target margin of 6dB those FEC counts will increase dramatically.

I'm not disputing what you say, but doesn't the sudden 559300% jump from 1-2 May even so seem excessive? And there's the 300+% lift since. Is the %age increase I am seeing common?

[NewtronStar]

It is a big jump when seeing it like that, are you going take up the offer for a engineer visit

[renluop]

We'll probably with less trepidation than before B'cat's reply.

Does anyone know what Sagemcom the HubOne is based on, and if DSLStats will yield any stats at all, should I need change to it

Is anyone able to answer, please?

[j0hn]

The Plusnet Hub One will not work at all with DslStats.

It will provide the same basic stats via its web interface as the BT HomeHub 5A does.

[renluop]

I thought that was so, but had vague idea that Lantiq chipsets did sometimes work limitedly. Where from goodness knows! I wonder if I can persuade Lowen's Routerstats to yield SNRM live activity.

[Browni]

There's basic monitoring of a Plusnet Hub One available on RouterStatsHub.

Engineer is booked for Wednesday p.m.
I have changed to PN's Hub One to be "standard and innocent".
Hub connects lower, and with a near 3dB increase in attenuation. I know about how the calculation can vary, but does such a variation seem normal?

[j0hn]

Since the last set of stats you posted your target snrm has dropped from 4dB to 3dB.
You're now above the 24Mb minimum Plusnet quoted.
The Plusnet Hub One syncs just under 24Mb, so leave that in place.

Hopefully the engineer can increase your speeds a little. Keep us updated.

I get similar behaviour with a HH5A versus Broadcom-based modems on my line.  Billion 8900AX reports 27.6 db attenuation, Zyxel VMG8924 reports 28.2 dB, and HH5a reports 32.6 db!  And this is reflected by sync speeds: Billion and Zyxel both hit the 15000 cap, but HH5a never gets much above 11000.

@j0hn

Actually PN suggested test as perf below the lower estimate rather than handback

[renluop]

Mind wandering/ mulling time! :: The ADSL rate was very good for distance, thought to be a little less than 3 km. The stated length from PCP to me is a little over 1 km. House was built c.1970, as part of an estate and phone cables are DIG. Could horrible ali in the line from PCP to house be the cause of my misfortune, but not cause such trouble with ADSL? Would complete or part of that length be needed to give result as is?.

I can't see how the problem depends upon the xDSL type.

[renluop]

I got idea from https://community.plus.net/t5/Fibre-Broadband/Aluminium-Telephone-Line/td-p/1409961 where in the first of the posts OP seems to put his low speed vs estimate on ali. Are you saying that ali makes no difference whatever to sync speeds VDSL or ADSL?
