Max, I've said this numerous times before.
Please listen and take onboard the following.RaDSL -Rate adaptive dsl (such as adslmax/adsl2/vdsl/fttc/g.fast) NEEDS a DLM to be able to work. Without it we would be stuck with fixed rate speeds like we used to have in the days of 512/1Mb/2Mb where lines would either work OR they wouldn't.
ADSL Max (like your name!) was the first RaDSL product in the UK. It came with a DLM. Admittedly it was a lot more basic than some of today's DLM profiles but it still had the Interleaving and RS Error Protection. It suddenly meant that lines which previously had not been able to hold a 1Mb or 2Mb connection may now be able to sync at say 2Mbps or even higher.
If Openreach scrapped DLM it would be a massive disaster - many lines would become unusable and keep losing sync and lost data packets. Its the DLM that keeps so many lines connected.
Not all lines are very short like yours and can sync at full rate. Just because Max doesnt need a DLM does not mean that hundreds of thousands of lines in the UK doesnt either. Just think for a moment, without some sort of DLM in the background ready to kick in if needed, then your line would not be fit for the 330 g.fast product.
Please no more of the silly 'Openreach need to ditch DLM' comments. 1) It shows a lack of understanding of DSL and makes you look stupid.
2) It's a selfish attitude.
Not all of us may like what the DLM can do on an otherwise stable line, but on the whole it does what it is supposed to and keeps many lines stable. Openreach's DLM is harsher than some, but conversely its also more sophisticated than others and allows things like 'x'dB and g.inp. I'm quite sure you like those bits of the DLM.
