Not weird at all, the noise environment is a fluctuating beast.

If you were to plot all the DMT bins you would probably be able to spot the variations, but that is going into detail I that would blow your mind

I believe there are further complex factors involved other than attenuation, SNRM and power. But after a resync and the stat numbers look about right you should be fine.

Be patient and just allow the connection to settle.

the only thing that has changed is a 0.1dbM increase in downstream output power

You've been told repeatedly: stop concentrating on minuscule changes and even attributing significant effects to them. Just ignore them; they are effectively equal.

I will. That's all I can do now

FYI I have found out my sync time SNR Margin is definitely 9db, for some weird reason

That's normal: 3, 6, 9, 12dB's at sync time, then there will be some variation throughout the period of connection. As you previously found with C&W an after-dark margin may be less than a day time one during the same connection period due to noise.

Personally I like to sync when it's dark and then I get a larger margin which is great for stability but the downside is I loose a little sync speed.

As you can see http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8250/8592685799_490d8b... my line gets a little noisy at night

Yeah I just thought 6db was the BT default which it would try first during the 10 days...

And lol that's quite some noise there

A 9dB SNRM should be fine on your short line...sorry I don't know what the BT default margin is.

Ah, but my attenuation is 6x more than yours LOL!

I believe 6 is the default(target) SNR.

It depends. The DLM will be trying your line on each Target SNR starting from 6/9dB and getting lower until it hits one which results in an unreliable connection/high error count; It's the way it works.

When I was transferred over to 21CN equipment I started off with a 7.4dB SNR Margin and after 3 days the DLM tried my line on a 3dB SNR Profile which I'm still on.

The DLM is programmed to try out each profile for a certain amount of time before it tries the next step; it's all a matter of waiting.

One thing I am interested in however is the Interleaving which is currently applied to your line. That indicates a high error count at some point has occurred or the connection has been unstable. As far as I know the DLM starts off connections on Fast Path and enables interleaving if there is a high error count or if the connection drops out too many times. Bearing in mind your Attenuation readings I would expect a fresh DLM profile to try you out on Fast-Path first...

Not sure regarding the interleaving, I'm pretty sure my line could support fast path, I mean DSLs been up for nearly 5 hours, with only 2 FEC Events Down and 44 Up, so I see no need for interleaving but somewhere the DLM does
