The line 2 HCD has developed into a full blown thing as predicted. In the night there was a resynch event and after that the downstream sync rate was down to ~1.7 Mbps and the hollow curve was deep, so I missed most of the early development.

From this picture I have two thoughts. The (lhs_x=40, lhs_y=y40-1) y40 has dropped so much that the ymid is quite low, especially when you consider that I’m actually working on a lhs_y of y40
-1 but luckily the hcd detection still works. The lhs_y could be set to be equal to the rhs_y in this case! That would give a nice high ymid with a deep drop to the curve at y[xmid]. But if it works then all good enough I suppose. The diagonal line thing is really meant to detect the early phase.
Secondly, looking at (x_rhs, y_rhs) it seems x_rhs could be best moved up from x_rhs=85 to 90.

Summary of DSL links’ wellbeing and error counts
────────────────────────
* There are 3 modems in total. They are: #1, #2 and #4
* The active, contactable modems are: #1, #2 and #4
* The modems successfully queried are: #1, #2 and #4

* Sync rate: The following link has a really low downstream sync rate, below min:
Link #2 downstream: current sync rate 1749 kbps is below minimum expected (2900 kbps) ❗Line #2 fault 🔺
❗Link #2 defect detected: so-called ‘hollow curve phenomenon’ in the downstream bit-loading 🔺
--
*❗ES (more serious): Links with CRC errors at higher error rates, where the ES rate ≥ 60 ES / hr (†):
Link #1 upstream: latest period: ES per hr: 68.57, mean time between errors: 52.5 s, collection duration: 210 s
Link #2 downstream: latest period: ES per hr: 205.71, mean time between errors: 17.5 s, collection duration: 245 s
Link #2 downstream: 'previous' period: ES per hr: 244.00, mean time between errors: 14.75 s, collection duration: 900 s
──────────────────────────────
(†) The duration of the ’latest‘ errored seconds (ES) collection
bucket is variable, with a _maximum_ of 15 mins. The buckets’
start times are always 15 mins apart. A ‘previous’ bucket's
duration is a fixed 15 mins. An ES is a 1 s time period in which one
or more CRC errors are detected. A CRC error is a Reed-Solomon
coding-uncorrectable error, ie. corrupted data is received that
cannot be recovered.
