G.Fast DLM made a change on the line
« on: September 21, 2021, 10:02:33 AM »

Since last night DLM made a change on the line overnight resync at 1am. I did noticed Bearer 0 INP and INPRein has changed from 550/540 0.00/0.00 to 641/607 10.00/2.00. Is that good or bad?

Weren't you going to stop looking at stats?

The dslstats was running 24/7/365 by Raspberry Pi, so, I only look at the stats once a week

That's once a week too often.

Stop running dslstats and only start it again if you observe issues with actual usage of the connection and a speed test shows it is running slow (and that doesn't mean run speed tests all the time instead of dslstats).

To answer your question, if the circuit is still working fine then it's not an issue. However, unless there's a noticeable issue that's having a negative impact on your DSL service then it would probably be best to stop looking at the stats altogether. By all means keep logging them though, so you have a history of your line in case something noticeably negative happens in the future which turns out to be an actual fault, just don't keep looking at them regularly if there's no noticeable problem. Enjoy the service, speeds of which most people still dream of being able to get in this country at the moment.

That said, it looks like DLM may have adjusted your connection to be a bit more resistant to errors/interference. Whether that's good or bad is more subjective on whether it has negatively affected your service in a noticeable and somewhat moderate way. I presume it hasn't though.

Yes the line kept dropped many times for no reason yesterday - first time happen since G.fast first installed. The Sync kept bouncing up and down 215 to 159/ 34 to 12 plus the SNR jumping crazy 10dB from 2.1dB. But, it now stable at 215/34 with solid snr at 3.1dB no more bouncing or lots of resync.

The issues was only start yesterday morning 6am to 4pm all day. Next door has the same issues as mine when there is no DSL connection for 20 minutes. No dsl at all from the cabinet.

That's a lot more relevant than your first post, I guess something was causing a burst of errors in your area at that time.

Could be a fault developing. Assuming you have a dial tone on the landline that G.fast connects via, are you able to do a quiet line test (preferably with a corded phone) to see if there's potentially any unusual noise?

Failing that if the problem persists or gets worse then it might be worth contacting your ISP and perhaps they can perform some kind of remote test or troubleshoot this?

It's not just me. Next door neighbour has the same issues. The dsl light went off for ten minutes now. Don't know what happen. It's like this yesterday and again today. Maybe some work somewhere at the Openreach network

In a few of the recently posted statistics there are three lines that "jump out at me" as not expected with a G.Fast circuit.

The first --

DSL mode:                  G

The second --

G.INP:                     Not enabled      Not enabled

The third --

If g.inp isnt enabled and INP values are still at 641/607 that could affect the sync speed due to error protection overheads.   It's weird how vectoring is 'unknown'.  Obviously if not enabled that will also affect sync speed. 

I notice the line attenuation is also wavering between 38.7 & 41.4.   I wouldn't normally pay too much attention to slight changes and only really looked because vectoring will obviously affect background noise levels.


Interesting that its not showing as enabled on Browni's Line either.  Is he on same exchange?  I wonder if theyve rolled out some new f/w or made changes to the DSLAM config. However his line has been up for 39 days and doesn't appear to have affected his sync speed.

Well we know DSL mode is a reporting glitch as he posted stats from the command line before the regrade which said:
