Title: FTTC extra info
Post by: adslmax on April 14, 2019, 11:33:40 PM
I thought Plusnet profile are speed (as it showed mine as standard) my parents line is on speed profile. Do u think I should raise this to Plusnet and asked them to put me on speed profile.

I fetch these detail via this link: http://www.dslchecker.bt.com/adsl/totl.input

The BT Wholesale "Standard" DLM policy is the same as the OpenReach "Speed" DLM policy.

You're already on the Speed profile.

Why would you want the same speed with less stability? FTTC is capped at 80 and you are already on it.

If it is raised with PN, they will be wanting to know how you got that info and you can bet access to information will be closed.
As jelv said FTTC is capped at 80 and I doubt it would make much difference to your line.

I want my line to be at speed to get prioritise speed over stability for online gamers because standard are best overall balance between speed and stability.

I can ask PN what are my line DLM policy are eg: speed, standard or stable. Won't metion them of this link. The link don't work anymore as it asked for login and password cos I got the link from someone over at ThinkBroadband Forum but I think MrSaffron might reported this to BT but I did notice BT warning below:

Plusnet tech support told me my line is on the stable by BTw and standard by Openreach (21/08/18) to stable my line because of last DLM removed banded last summer (standard by BTw and speed by Openreach as of 20/08/18) and PN can't put my line back on speed profile due to DLM policy on the line to keep my line at maximum stable.

Looks like you're right.
I read BT Wholesale and assumed it to be 1 of their checkers, using their terminology.

I'm also showing as the Speed DLM policy.

The DLM policy being Speed or Standard has no bearing on your latency.
Only interleaving would add latency.
Low interleaving adds 8ms delay.

Your line has G.INP/ReTx so there's nothing DLM related adding to your ping times.

17/18ms is very high for your part of the country.

Do you have a ThinkBroadband BQM running?

how are you guys getting this info?  BTw checker shows nothing for me like that.

I assume you must be a PlusNet customer to access that then?

When I try, it asks me for a Email/Password.

I think we late to the game dee.jay, sorry for missing that on his first post.

Adslmax, I am on the standard profile as well, all it does is it reduces the thresholds required for DLM stability action to be taken when the line is unstable.  It has the same dlsam profiles available to it as the speed profile and I am indeed on fast path and unbanded (with standard profile), so dont panic.

If your line is bad enough that on standard DLM will take action, its probably also bad enough that at some point you would be DLM'd on speed as well anyway it just might take longer to hit a bad enough day thats all.

No, nothing to do with your ISP.

All I will say is there is a link that worked for a while but now it asks for a login. As max said in his post above

The link don't work anymore as it asked for login and password cos I got the link from someone over at ThinkBroadband Forum but I think MrSaffron might reported this to BT but I did notice BT warning below:

Those of us that were able to access were not previously given that warning, and in view of the circumstances I think it's best not to discuss further on this forum or encourage others to circumvent the Computer Misuse Act.

Thanks for your understanding.

Computer Misuse Act mean penalty for breaking the law was changed to 14 years imprisonment, a large fine, or both depending on the severity of the offence.  :no: :o
Title: Re: FTTC extra info
Post by: dee.jay on April 17, 2019, 01:13:04 PM
I wouldn't panic about accessing it. There was no warning before, so you cannot be charged for committing any crime under the Computer Misuse Act.
Title: Re: FTTC extra info
Post by: adslmax on April 17, 2019, 01:15:07 PM
It's doesn't work now as it ask for login / password etc. Yeah you are right as there is no warning before as the warning only appear if you log out.

Special punishment for max. Instead of up to 14 years, his line will never sync at 80 Mbps again and no FTTP by 2033.

Note

Because it had been brought to my attention that using that "Unauthorised access to or misuse of this system is prohibited and constitutes an offence under the Computer Misuse Act 1990" etc.  I'd already said I think it's best not to discuss further on this forum or encourage others to circumvent the Computer Misuse Act. 

Bear in mind that there may well be an audit trail either of the IP addresses from where the system was logged in and the phone numbers accessed. 

I agree that it is doubtful that they would take action against those of us who did access it without warning.   
However, once it had been made aware that to me that unauthorised use is prohibited, then it would be negligent to allow the conversation to continue on the forum which could be construed as encouraging others to use it.    I did ask nicely, but because I've now had to remove a post,  it's probably best that I lock the topic.

Cheers.
