uklon5-vip-sx-001.aaplimg.com through uklon5-vip-sx-006.aaplimg.com all downloaded at avg 72-74Mb/s between 8-9pm yesterday (Friday), confirming my general experience

I know you said "I've yet to be able to get fast updates" from Apple on your Plusnet connection.

Can I ask what speeds you see? Are you going to report it to Plusnet?

Just tried "xdslcmd configure --maxDataRate 50000 20000 70000" and save
Rebooted HG612 by unplugging and replugging; still pretty much the same connection speed

Down            Up
max:            74984          22405
path:           74985          19999
SNR (dB):        6.3             7.1

So either it is ignored, or my save didn't work, or ...???
Can anyone tell me the correct way to save configuration, and to reboot/reset or whatever is needed to make it actually happen?

I updated about 20 devices with large updates last year, but I've not had anything to update recently. So I cannot really comment now. I was looking for something hosted on one of those CDNs to try as a test, but I couldn't find any links unfortunately.

It's been widely reported about the teething problems of Apple's CDN. It's a huge amount of traffic they need to distribute when they have iOS/OSX updates.

I would hope things are better now - I just need to find something large to test (App store downloads were going through Akamai for me for some reason).

Reason: stop mess around with your modem tweak! I believe that FTTC DSLAM had blocked any tweaking. This is why u seeing the same sync rate (no change)

That seems quite likely: it certainly seems to be the case with attempts at SNR tweaks.

I can see various reasons why they want to prevent people using extreme settings that would make things less stable, it seems a shame to prevent conservative settings that would make things more stable.

keep disconnecting/reconnecting the modem so dlm throws a hissy fit and makes your connectoing more stable, unusable but stable anyway this talk of modems ect is diverting us off topic

I don't see a Save command.

I do see xdslcmd profile --save

Also with options --show and --restore

I suggest you do a --show and save the listing to a text file first.

The first thing DLM would do would be to turn on interleaving and add 8ms to his latency. He doesn't want either of those effects. He just wants to bring the sync down from 70+Mbps as he's on a 40Mbps (ISP-router capped) package.

Then he could ask to be put on a 40/10 product, that would give plenty of spare SNR instead of the 80/20 capped at 40 one he is one now
