Censor avoidance by using "wildcards" is against the forum rules.

In reply to a post by TimsterRS4:

Correct. That is where I made my initial mistake. For which I apologise.

OK! end of please.

Posting to the wrong poster can be confusing, many newbies (and to this forum you are) make that mistake so it was not an unreasonable assumption to make when providing info on the correct method. Members were trying to help.

As I say end of....what was this thread about now?

Interesting that in the hoo-hah I'd completely lost the fact you were on ADSL2+ until XRaySpeX pointed it out.

Re a question in your opening post - "so after 10 days or so I ask for a lower snr profile". Nope.

The 10 days is a period when the BT Wholesale system merely notes your lowest connection speed and sets that as the Maximum Stable Rate. From that it calculates the Fault Threshold Rate, either 70% or 80% of the MSR.

The value doesn't really matter any more. The FTR used to be the figure above which you would have a heck of a job getting a sync speed problem reported by your ISP to BT Wholesale, as the reply from BTW would be that it was still within range.

Now it seems to be ignored and if you have a connection that works at all then you can have a fight on your hands getting it looked into properly. It probably started soon after Openreach started charging over £100 for "No fault found", even when there evidently is one - just they couldn't find it.

The SNRM is determined by the DLM and runs from the first connection forever. As far as I know you can't ask for it to be set to 3dB like you could on O2, but some time last year the DLM was modified, and given a sufficiently stable line it drops it to 3dB automatically after a several days. Whether it won't do that until after the first 10 days I don't know - that would seem logical.

they dropped it automatically today around 3pm

snr is now 3.0 down

sync at 18mb

that's service for you

interleave depth is still 1

That's brilliant . Three days and still within the ten. Assuming the ten does re-start on a simple migration, but that's another question again.
