Title: DLM reduced my line?
Post by: adslmax on March 01, 2019, 04:26:09 PM
I just noticed DLM had resync just after 1:25pm today (very disappointed with massive huge 8701Kbps knocked off from 80000Kbps)  :( :'(

IP Profile has dropped too at 68.93Mbps

Do u think DLM will try lower SNR from 6dB to 3dB next step?

DLM hasn't reduced your line and it probably wasn't a DLM initiated resync.
The line is connecting just shy of the attainable rate with no spare SNRM.
It's probably just another crosstalker.

It would be better in future if you posted the output of xdslcmd info --stats rather than the 2 sets of stats you posted. It provides much more info.
It can also be copy/posted from DslStats rather than having to telnet in with Putty.
You will find it under "Telnet Data > Connection Stats"

Every time your line has dropped below 80Mb in the past it has returned to the full 80Mb within a relatively short time frame.
DLM may not lower the SNRM target for a while (if at all).

Post by: adslmax on March 01, 2019, 08:46:40 PM
Thanks but I don't think it won't go back to 80 meg now because the dsl checker has changed from 78 to 68 over the last five years now.

Seems a good attitude to have in that case - not worrying about it.

My dsl checker say Downstream Handback Threshold(Mbps) are 63.4 but this mean I can't raise the fault to my isp until the sync rate went below 63Meg is that correct?

Hi Max

Yes that is correct.

Have you been trying 'to improve your connection' again and upset the DLM?

Best guess DLM wasn't happy with performance at the 3dB margin and returned it to standard settings. If it sees improvements it'll reduce the margin accordingly.

Whomever wrote the software and web pages that allow people to monitor pages like the BT Wholesale availability checker for changes and receive emails for relatively minor adjustments to their rate adaptive xDSL services goes right alongside the dude who produced software allowing people to obsessively speed test their services hourly in having a lot to answer for.

Yes, you certainly have US G.Inp applied now, as you have not supplied stats as j0hn suggested earlier can't really say why this has occured, most likely a sharp increase in US ES rate.

From my experience on the lines I monitor, US G.Inp application is now more likely or perhaps more obviously, periods of increased US ES rates beyond a defined threshold will activate a DLM re-synch and apply US G.Inp as per normal expectation.

See recent post on my observations regarding US G.Inp application showing definitive US ES & CRC rates prior to application:

Yeah I just wish openreach leave it uncapped and let the line speed go faster for the higher sync rate like 95/36 instead of 80/20

But what would you need all that bandwidth for?

I find even with 3 of us streaming HD TV/films I’m only using a small percentage of mine.
Title: Re: DLM reduced my line?

Yeah I just wish openreach leave it uncapped and let the line speed go faster for the higher sync rate like 95/36 instead of 80/20

As I said on the other place not worth the extra support overhead.

You'd have raised a case with PN due to your line speed dropping a huge, massive 15Mb as other users came online, crosstalk kicked in and forced rate adaption at a lower rate.

Only really viable if BT vector every cabinet, use SRA and have aggressive line management, combined with locking down the equipment you can connect to the line and that isn't happening.

If bandwidth envy is a thing for you though you might enjoy a watch of the video at https://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,22482.msg394080.html#msg394080
