Cows out again
« on: May 31, 2019, 06:43:54 AM »

Well that time of year  :no: cows came out fencing goes on . Had a good stable 3.5 connection all winter then in three easy steps 1.1 with interleaving 384/8  :no: turned router off for the night but re-sync no different , oh well can cancel Netflix and Now tv  :D

Given that the interleaving seems to be preventing any actual errors, can you over-ride noise margin with your kit to get a bit more speed?   Or do you think there's a banding applied?

I wouldn't want to prod the DLM further, since it has intervened for a reason. Interleaving is doing its job, since we're only seeing FECs and not many CRCs (in fact, only CRCs upstream).

It's a shame it's shoved your speed down to a rate that's hardly useful for anything. The DLM will adjust the paremeters when and if it become stable again. Sadly, if the issue is interference as you mentioned then it may be there to stay until the source is removed.

I know it's a bit off the topic of your problem, but have you considered a 3G/4G connection? I understand coverage may be limited, and it could be more costly, but it may be something to consider. You could even look at satellite broadband, but pricing and usage allowances have historically not been great (might be better these days) - that ignores latency, which is usally quite high.

Looks banded to me.

Or just get the DLM reset and turned off if it's actually usable with whatever interference even if the DLM doesn't like it.

Thanks for the input , I'm going to put a connection at one end of the fence where it runs along my line so when the cattle are out of that field at least I'll be able to improve it for short stints  :fingers: well that's the theory   ( farmer is ok about it ) ,then when I get chance off around the whole fence ( it covers about 6 fields :(

A capacitor across the fence? Is there something suitable already about?

I would have thought that these nasty pieces of kit could be interference-suppressed by attaching a suitable small very cheap device. One of our learned kitizens please chip in. Hardware is not my thing.

The fence has a sharp transition in voltage from off to in and back again, ‘sharp’ meaning the voltage changes very fast, the time taken to transition is very very short. That’s the source of the interference. If the voltage transition is even very slightly slowed down, so that the transition takes longer and the maximum slew rate (‘instantaneous’ rate of change of e.g. voltage versus time at any particular point, or the steepness of the slope of graph at any point) is less, then the interference goes away, goes to lower and lower frequencies and reduces. Some switches also can ‘bounce’ they sort-of go on-of-on-off-on before settling down and the output graph is all over the place. That case is very bad for interference.

Does DLM have a set time when it kicks in to action ? it's just I've noticed all the re-syncs have been between 6.30-7.00 ,at least this morning the interleaving dropped

Does DLM have a set time when it kicks in to action ?

No. Initially, for VDSL2 based services, it was observed that DLM actions would occur in the early hours of the morning but that "rule of thumb" has long since been overridden. (Not really relevant to you, of course, with an ADSL2 based service.)

(Apologies for off-topicness, could split if need be?)

Am I correct in thinking that Noddy’s G.992.3 link does not have PhyR ? Can’t see the associated signs of its activity in the stats’ listing.

Considering your line is the only 1 I've seen on these forums with PhyR active that would be a fair assumption to make.  :D

If there's no mention of it in the stats then it won't be active.

I thought about a capacitor, it would probably have to be rated at 20kV to be safe.  I'm not sure on the downside of trying it, I suppose worse case is it blows up the guy's energiser.

Just for fun I've attached a log from when I was trying to fix the fence that's killing our DSL.  From left to right, the time up to around 15:10 is the normal level of interference, just under 70 CRC/min and 2800 ES per hour.  At 15:10 I've switched the fence off to work on a dodgy connection, then 15:20 it's back on and looking as if I've made a worthwhile improvement.   Before I got too hopeful at the end of this trace you can see the fence back off again, presumably the owner doing something, then when it's back on the errors are much worse but not quite as bad as when I started.
