This isn't an issue, more of a question.
I was wondering, based on observations, if anyone knows roughly what the ES or CRC's have to be before DLM may take action in a negative way? The reason I ask this is because, for the moment, I've managed to get myself back on 'fastpath', albeit with a speed cap. I'll explain what I did in order for this to perhaps encourage DLM to get me back there to start with.
Approximately 10 days ago I decided to go back to my Fritz!Box and cap myself to a much lower speed, eventually I set myself to 40 megabits downstream, with no cap on the upstream. My objective was to keep the error seconds under at least 75, or further if I could (under 50). A few days into that experiment DLM decided to reduce my INP from 4 to 3. After 7 days into the experiment I lost hope with DLM switching me back so I decided to go back to the HG612 since it synced better and surprisingly had less errors than my Fritz!Box, though it was capped at 60 megabits downstream due to the DLM altering the min/max rates as a result of me doing so. A few days later (today in other words) at 4am or so DLM resynced me, and to my amazement, though it hasn't removed the downstream cap, it did remove INP and delay altogether! Sadly, I fear I may lose 'fastpath' as my error seconds have gone up to over 100 ES in around 5 hours of sync uptime
. If that rate of ES continues I am expecting to probably get around 300-400 ES in a 24 hour period I imagine.
I've also read, on the TalkTalk forum, that Biohead did a test where his cabinet, like mine, is ECI hardware. He was using an ECI modem but wanted to use Huawei presumably for line stats, so he lost 'fastpath' apparently during that time of using the Huawei. When he went back to the ECI he shortly got back 'fastpath'. I wonder if it's worth me finding an ECI modem on eBay or somewhere and trying that on my line?
