@burakkucat,

cheers for the info, I'm doubly screwed due to my distances.

Openreach should look to phase out ADSL to customers connected to Fiber cabinets - no need for power cut backs then.

Edit: Any Ideas why the other cracks in my Tone Graph occur?

Impossible ask I'm afraid .............. ALL Cabs will have a hybrid of ADSL and VDSL, if a DSLAM has been provided. You'd be asking the EU to chose between having VDSL broadband, or nothing ?? I think a certain Cat on these forums would hiss and spit at that scenario.

@Black Sheep,

ADSL is the past, if OR want to get the best performance out of their infrastructure it would make sense

We used to all have dial up & it's been replaced for example

While I agree with you...
That's what they are doing  out in Jersey
They are going for full FTTP and all the ADSL related equipment is being switched off and the users given two options
FTTP at a much greater price or nothing: sign on the dotted line by day x or your service will be cut off.

I do see though the UK moving to where the local cabs provides all the services whether that is ADSL, GPON/FTTP, VDSL or POTS and all the local exchanges closed down leaving just mega regional exchanges feeding thousands of local cabs.

Pipe-dream I'm afraid. You would have to opt for c6em's offerings in his post above ….. full FTTP. We ALL know this would be the best thing, but we ALL know it isn't going to happen in the next 20yrs.
So unfortunately, unless ADSL does get totally switched off …… which it won't ….. you will always have power cut-backs I'm afraid.

Could be done by provisioning ADSL from the cabs rather than the exchange, but the LLU operators wouldn't like that.

[Black Sheep]

Jesus .......... there'd be no room on the streets for pedestrians because of street furniture !! Get real, this aint gonna happen .... ever.

Guys,

why are my tones disappearing?

E.g. the block of tones around the 650 mark have gone missing in the last 4 days

[burakkucat]

I would not like to guess. Please remember to only consider the graphs once you have checked the current band plan for the "showtime" (medley) phase for you circuit.

[MaximusPrime]

@burakkucat,

the DS Medley band is 33 to 667

I used to get 8.3Mb, I've been down to 6.3Mb for a couple of weeks now

[burakkucat]

Hmm . . . Quite a number of sub-carriers (tones) have, therefore, been "knocked out". I really don't have any feeling as to what is happening with your circuit.

[MaximusPrime]

@burakkucat,

it looks to me that the tones are being eroded probably due to the corrosion of the line under my house?

[MaximusPrime]

Guys,

What causes a "Defect Indicator/DLM" noted in the MDWS emails?

Bad connection today

[MaximusPrime]

Guys,

I have an OR Engineer coming on Tuesday. I've had a lot of drop outs the past few days due to rain.

In my opinion the line from the pole to my house needs replaced.

What's the best way to convince them because I need this fixed, it's been cutting out for half a year now

[NewtronStar]

It's hard to tell a tradesman how to do their job, he/she will already know were to start looking if they find a fault on your line, all you could do is tell them the type of symptoms your having with your Broadband and that might help during the OR investigation.
