Having noticed the time (and I can hear my bed calling), I just did a quick visual comparison of the plots. Nothing really stands out . . . so I suspect that you have been hit by a nasty dose of cross-talk.

Oh no! I was hoping that the target SNR was being intentionally reduced as I believe that the target is now 3 on stabilised lines (as opposed to 6). Also, it happened  bag on 11am (to the second) yesterday suggesting it was an intentional action as opposed to just random crosstalk over time.

The fact it occurred bang on 11am means the new crosstalker went live at that exact time.

The target SNRM being reduced would increase the attainable rate.
The target can only be lowered on lines with G.INP active.

It's the current SNRM that has reduced (not the target) which suggests additional noise has lowered the line from the 6dB target.

Sounds like crosstalk to me.
Sadly from a crosstalk point of view and with it being a newly activated cabinet it is likely to only get worse as more take up the service.

Thanks John. Let’s hope that G.INP is applied sooner rather than later then, think I will be patient and wait until end of June and if it’s still not active I’ll query with Openreach. I’m worried in their haste in configuring the DSLAM they haven’t configured it to use g.INP!

Shame you didn't get them to install it with vectoring  :no: (presuming of course they allowed that option)

Don’t think so, or if I had asked no one would have understood what I was talking about. Interleaving is applied though from what I can tell, which from what I have read would be normal on a new line for the first few weeks.

I'd say over 90% of the time G.INP is applied after 48 hours.
For others it can be a few weeks.
For my line it took 11 weeks to apply G.INP.

A very very small amount of lines seem to get overlooked completely.

The good news is that usually its early crosstalkers that have the biggest impact, its not a hard fast rule, but in tests that were done prior to VDSL been a commercial product by BT and other telcos most of the time they found the first crosstalker had a massive impact but then others had smaller levels of impact.  Because the existing crosstalk kind of smothers new crosstalk.

My first crosstalker knocked off about 20mbit (110 down to 90 attainable), the second about another 10, then I had more after that but were on individual levels much smaller.  Not every activation will be a crosstalker, if they on a different cable bundle or on the far side of your cable bundle they probably wont impact your line.

Vectoring is noise cancellation, it effectively cancels out cross talk.

https://www.edpnet.be/en/support/installation-and-usage/internet/learn-about-dsl-configuration/what-is-vectoring-technology.html

It is currently rolled out on a very select few BDUK cabinets to reach targets.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this thread over the past few months - your help and advice has been invaluable and I hope too that other forum members have or will be interested in the "journey" I have been on.  I'm disappointed that after 11 days there is no sign of G.INP, but I am also conscious that I am asking questions of you that have been discussed in other threads.  I have called both Sky & Openreach - Sky say they can no longer request DLM resets or similar, and Openreach say that this is an SP matter. 

I've spent several hours today reading large threads on the forum as people post their line stats, attempt to set their sync speeds and poke DLM into behaving a certain way.  After all this reading, I have come to the conclusion that the best thing to do is to leave everything alone, and put trust in the system. I will be back in touch on 1 July, and by this time I hope to have some positive news to share - HG612 Modem Stats is running 24/7!

Ok, I know I promised that I wouldn’t post again. However I have Openreach out this morning and they have tried several things including a DLM reset. By completing these reset, interleaving was removed from the line. So I am going to just leave it alone now and see if DLM applies ReTX now that interleaving has turned off. The removal of interleaving actually reduced my attainable, but made my sync level with attainable. So I am now exactly 60000/19999

If all goes well ReTx will be applied after 48 hours.
If every remains stable over the next week or so DLM may then lower the target SNRM.

Should hopefully give a nice increase in sync.

If every remains stable over the next week or so DLM may then lower the target SNRM.

Should hopefully give a nice increase in sync.

So, I have been on holiday for the last week.  Interestingly I was in Lithuania staying in an apartment in the old town, where the most basic service available is 100/100 FTTP - with a 2ms ping.  ::) .  It's a given there that WAN is provided over FTTP and Copper is reserved for older people with a landline phone.  Anyway, still no change.  No G.INP, no Interleaving, no resyncs now for 12 days.  Connected at 60084 with an attainable of 58716. I have suggested to Openreach that because the DSLAM is new, it could be that the firmware has not been updated to the version capable of implementing G.INP.  Sky tell me that it is a positive that none of these features have been applied as it shows that the line does not suffer from excess noise and therefore DLM has decided these technologies do not need to be applied. It seems that DLM is just not working at all - not increasing speed, decreasing it, adding or removing anything.  I am not sure where I can go from here because of course no one is taking me seriously - I've written a letter to Openreach on the formal track. 

In addition, there are discrepancies between which ISPs allow customers to order FTTC, even after 6 weeks of live.  e.g. Sky shows that FTTC can be ordered, but Vodafone receives messages from Openreach saying there is a capacity issue at the cabinet, which I know isn't the case.  This is a bummer because if I were to order a second FTTC connection, I would not want to have both lines running over the same ISP for resilience.

I cannot believe after 2 years of this I am still having to pick up snags with Openreach - beware anyone offered a CFP through Openreach - you will be a free Implementation Manager for them for a number of months, yet without any of the technical information you require to do the job well!
