2017 firmware 

@adslmax how long have you had this Hub One?

I have asked Bob Pullen to sent me new firmware still waiting!

[Weaver]

You would have to o several measurements to rule out the effects of DLM - see https://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,15905.msg307641.html#msg307641

[adslmax]

I did that 30 minutes to wait before change new dsl cable. No affect in DLM so far. Seem strange Hub One has the best lower line attenuation at 10.6 much better than my other routers with new dsl cable.

[Weaver]

No, the thing is that just unplugging the modem causes a resynch which can cause figures to change, so two resynchs are better, as in that tiresome test procedure.

Which of course runs the risk of triggering DLM, making the whole procedure not worth the hassle.

Which given the difference in chipset and how small the margin is anyway, it's not strange at all.

[Alex Atkin UK]

The way I see it, most of these statistics are estimates anyway and no two modem firmwares, let alone chipsets, necessarily use the same maths to reach their result.  No two modems will have exactly the same sensitivity, no two seconds will have exactly the same line characteristics.  Its all estimations, so most fluctuations are margin of error or just different implementations.

The only true indication of a difference in cable performance is a consistently repeatable change in the error rates on the same line and hardware.  In 99.9% of cases, changing the cable will make zero measurable difference.

The only time its likely to make any difference is if the cable is bad or you have a long flat cable coiled up next to other equipment that is emitting very specific frequencies of RFI.

I'm really averse to reply to this thread because I feel like each response just encourages @adslmax to become obsessed with something else, I really would advise for their own wellbeing that we stop humouring what is clearly a mental health issue.

Still no DLM action yet as far as I can seen.

Max, please stop the obsession with line stats every day and just use the internet! I recently got my full sync back about a month ago after two years of slower speeds and with the same patch cable I bought about 5 years ago.

[meritez]

@adslmax have you got access to telnet or ssh, as we could use something like this to look at the lantiq modem in more detail:

[Alex Atkin UK]

Still no DLM action yet as far as I can seen.

But why risk it?  You literally have nothing to gain as you already have full sync!

[adslmax]

Look like DLM banded has been disabled by last visit from Openreach engineer few years ago as when he come here he using his tool and phone up DLM data center to resetted DLM and probably disabled any future banded on the line because I haven't seen my line been banded ever since.

Highly unlikely. Such an option doesn't exist.

The last time your line was banded there was something happening at your cabinet (probably maintenance as it was around 1am) and your line resynced about a dozen times.

DLM shouldn't be banding a line for swapping a patch cable once or twice.
The fact it hasn't banded your line isn't some magical setting by an engineer it's just the DLM working properly.
