Hello, new poster but I've lurked occasionally over the years. Looking for opinions on what's going on with my line.
Bit of background: I live in a block of flats. My line has never been great, never the fastest anyway. For years, I've just accepted this but I'm getting more into it now that I'm working from home and play games online. The BT Broadband Checker shows the neighbouring flats get around 67/20 sync. The block of 8 flats I am in all get closer to 40/10 at best. Same street, same cabinet. The flats with the better sync according to the checker are actually further away from the cab than me. My upstream line attenuation is 16.2db so it's not a long line.
Recently, I found I have been on an interleaved line for a very long time, and it has been adding 16ms delay at least (and still is). Therefore, I got in touch with Vodafone to a) confirm if I'm on speed/standard/stable profile b) if I can have a DLM reset. They initially said the line looked faulty and would send an Openreach engineer out yesterday. I was then told no such appointment was made and haven't heard from them since. I'm now due to move to BT on Sep 15.
However, yesterday lunchtime my line bounced itself 4 times.
This is from Tuesday:

Was this an engineer at work after all, and DLM has put me down to 25/10? I see I'm still interleaved as well, which I hope will go away.
My live stats are
here if anyone is interested.
Thanks!
