A final update and a happy one at that.
At around 2AM DLM intervened, gave me fast path (Yipee!) a speed increase on my download and generally overall getting the best I can out of my line. Everything is much snappier too.
My prediction of DLM removing it seems to have rung true. And an indicator that my line is good enough without needing interleave.
Still a silly idea by having low error protection on for new fttc lines since February.
Smart Hub stats:

Noise margin:

Overall I'm happier knowing my line is pretty much using it's actual potential now. I'm excited to do my live streams and game.
Alls well that ends well.
