Originally I had Plusnet's up to 40 Mb/s FTTC service. Which was adequate since my line is estimated to achieve a max of 41 Mb/s anyway, but I still elected to got for their 80 Mb/s service since at the time they offered a paltry 2 Mb/s upload. That has changed now I know.
Anyway they did make some changes but seemed to move me to a 40/10 service in error but I didn't notice as the upload speed increaed to between 7 & 8 Mb/s and down remained much the same.
Anyway they have spotted their error which affects multiple customers and will refund the incorrectly billed amounts and have now moved me to the 80/20 service.
This has caused a DLM reset and performance now is worse than it was previously as I was on Fastpath both up & down with G.INP active.
Now I have ended up on Interleave down, Fastpath up with no G.INP and a growing number FECS - 185,000 in 8 hours.
The service has been table for over 220 hours according to my Draytek 2860, until yesterday when a power cut reset it. So based on these counters it's about 1 ES per hour
It seems like G.INP isn't coming back any time soon.
Following other treads here some people have suggested using Draytek's option to modify target SNR margin - will that likely help?
I am syncing between 5-6 Mb/s lower now after this change which in theory might have got an extra 1-2 Mb/s! Progress this isn't!
