Just for my notes, how much does Broadband Boost cost, all I found when looking was TOA?

Sorry, I don't have any idea. But thinking about the information you provided, following on from my reply to your initial post, makes me wonder if your ISP/CP is Andrews & Arnold:-\

Well the only obvious fault appears to be the "Impairment in copper joint".
So I assume line does not meet Sin349.
An appointment is not required so I don't get to heckle an engineer this time.

Whats the best way to find out if the E-Side pair between cabinet and exchange is in good condition?
Kind of heard from an engineer last year that its not in the best condition, and could pickup some noise, could there be any truth to his claims.

What exactly are the error symptoms you are experiencing?  :-\

At the moment, this thread is tending to read like a series of questions on the subject of: "How to perform a fault-fishing trip, so as to have something to complain about".  :-X

I would doubt the claim that the E-side is --

not in the best condition, and could pickup some noise

Once an E-side cable has been installed, the joints are virtually never re-opened. (The will always be a "corner case", in some obscure location, that will be an exception to the rule.) Pair swaps do take place, as that just requires a manipulation at the cabinet and the exchange MDF.

Sorry that it sounds like a fault fishing trip, to have something to complain about, but it's not.

I have a habit of questioning things that probably don't really matter at all, over analyzing things as it were.

I would just let A&A get on with having that D-side joint fixed and then see how the circuit behaves.  :)

Gee what a surprise, fault vanishes after BTOR visit. Even though he says he cannot find anything wrong.  :'(

DiagnosticCode = GTC_FTTC_SERVICE_0000, TestDescription = GEA service test completed and no fault found ., ServiceTestID = 3164439, OpenreachReferenceID = or_nga_rdl10432app02:1277413498, TestCompleted = true, DateTestRequested = 2017-05-10T19:19:07.473, DateTestCompleted = 2017-05-10T19:20:08.91, TestOutcome = Pass, MainFaultLocation = OK, AppointmentRequired = N, FaultReportAdvised = N, ServiceLevel = 2, EthernetTraffic = Y, SyncStatus = In Sync, DownstreamSpeedMBPS = 0, UpstreamSpeedMBPS = 0, DateTestStarted = 2017-05-10T19:19:14.473, DateTestStopped = 2017-05-10T19:20:05.877, RadioFrequencyIngress = Not Detected, BridgeTap = Not Detected, RepetitiveElectricalImpulseNoise = Not Detected, VoiceLineTestResult = Pass, NTEPowerStatus = PowerOn, CrossTalk = Not Detected, Client = TTR Service Centre

He was happy to do a DLM reset which raised sync to 55M.

Intermittent faults are quite common but it definitely was "picked up" by the tester on the day that you checked.  :)

Now just to satisfy my curiosity, are you experiencing any circuit defects?

Massive errored seconds or large fluctuations on your DS & US SNRM or line drops occurring 8 to 16 times per day that sort of thing.

That's good. So just make use of the service . . . until such time as it goes wrong.
