Hi Josh,
How has your connection been Paul?
Not brilliant. See the attached IP Profiles graph.
The 80/20 trial was just an experiment, to see if perhaps power would be increased to try to give me "something" from the highest frequency band.
Unfortunately, it was a non-starter.
The only thing that got my speeds up a little was the DLM reset while I was still on the 40/10 service.
It gave me a 35Mb sync speed & 33 Mb throughput, but it only lasted a few hours before the connection re-synced at a lower speed.
There have been a few re-syncs since then, 4 in quick succession this morning that left me with a sync speed of only 24.9Mb until I rebooted the modem & achieved a sync speed of 29.11Mb.
I was put on 80/20 myself as you know, at provision my speeds went to 38/5 up and have settled at 33/5, I noticed it's 2 days before DLM makes changes.
My connection obviously couldn't wait for 2 days
From the other forum, I notice you sometimes have much higher Attainable Rates than that.
Have you tried out the Windows "Ongoing" graphing scripts that MIGHT just show where things look "problematic"?
Good luck with your connection mate!
I don't think it's luck that I need, rather an engineer to find the "fault" & fix it once & for all.
Paul.
EDIT:Would you Adam & Eve it?
The connection re-synced again at 8pm.
Sync speed down to only 23.16Mb.
It MAY have coincided with an incoming phone call, but SNRM had gradually dropped to 2.2dB from 6.1dB one hour earlier.
A few minutes following this latest re-sync, SNRM peaked at 10.3dB, but it seems to be fluctuating quite a bit.
The connection also re-synced around 40 minutes later, at 27.1Mb.
It may be coincidence that the weather has been quite warm today?
The modem has remained quite cool though.
The attached graphs show fluctuating SNRM & Sync speeds today.
Testing a telephone with a dangly filter in the test socket (everything else disconnected - apart from the VDSL2 connection in it's usual socket) causes big SNRM drops.
@ Black SheepAny suggestions for what to say when I contact Plusnet yet again on Monday?
P.S. The whole master socket & faceplate was completely replaced in November when my drop wire was also replaced.
