If it really really bothers you (it clearly does) then why not give the DLM a "nudge" by capping the sync rate.
Cap it at 60/20 for a few days and the DLM should hopefully lower the SNRM target to 5dB, giving you 80Mb/s sync again.
But you knew that already 

Found it in Kitz forum: On a Billion or Zyxel the command would be              adsl configure --maxDataRate 60000 15000 100000

So I should set at adsl configure --maxDataRate 60000 20000 100000 but forget how to use telnet? lol

Its mostly about the bitrates or HDR for me (though streaming services often have HDR on 1080p streams these days).  A lot of content at 4K on streaming services is closer in quality to a normal Bluray, with their 1080p streams vastly inferior though granted they do a pretty good job of "good enough" for most people.

What a lot of people don't realise is a lot of how compression works is by throwing away the dynamic range and muting the colours.  Our depth perception works a lot on contrast so higher compression = a flatter looking image.  I'm constantly surprised by how much better a Bluray will look than a streaming service even though I know all this.

I appreciate that 4k can look amazing given the right equipment but as our largest screen is 40", with no space for anything a lot larger, then I find 1080p perfectly satisfactory. I'm also of the opinion that the content itself is far more important than the picture quality and can happily watch 576p if the content is interesting and/or entertaining.

@j0hn are these correct one for Billion 8800NL for adsl configure --maxDataRate 60000 20000 100000 via telnet?

Updated: My isp has agreed with me to get BTw to reset DLM within next 24 hours. Caused by thunderstorms has reduced my line rate.

Which is a total waste of time and will make not one bit of difference as it's pretty clear from the stats that you no longer have any SNR headroom as it's only barely achieving 80Mbps at 6dB SNR. If you'd done what @j0hn had suggested, or maybe even just left it alone, then DLM would likely drop you to 5dB SNR and get you back to max sync. I can't believe your ISP even agreed given the tiny rate drop you are seeing.

It's not that. The sync rate at 77375Kbps but my throughput speed max out at 64Meg clearly something not right. Drop from 75Meg to 64Meg throughput speed. So, I lost 11Meg. I can't check BTw IP Profile rate as it no longer work.

DLM had probably moved you to Rtx high then. Again, doing as @j0hn had suggested would probably have fixed that.

Did try jOhn but it wouldn't work did get through to my billion router unless I done something wrong with it. Anyway I leave it alone until DLM resetted next 24 hours see how it goes! From that sync rate 77375kbps should be around 72Meg not 64Meg

Shouldn't be as my downstream always in ZERO errors in both ES, CRC and very low FEC.

Thanks for reminding me why I have no BT Wholesale connectivity here. Keeping PPP to a minimum and none of their equipment on the other line.

[XGS_Is_On]

Not going to order G.fast will staying on with sogea for another 12 months with discretion offer

Good. Don't think FTTP is too far away as mentioned on ISPR.

Are you sure as it hasn't been resyncing just for the fun of it?

Didn't metioned any FTTP in Halesfield or Madeley on Openreach FTTP checker and this site here: https://bidb.uk/

Check Think Broadband for coverage. There's absolutely FTTP near you. Mast works shows local work to install new cable and lots of VM work warming up for XGSPON.
