In reply to a post by smurf46:

Might the inability to get an upper tone range on the upstream - due to poor line quality and distance - also be why the upstream has the limit of 6Mbps out of the available 10 which it got very close to on the 8c profile?

Yes. That drop suggests that, where the bandplan change has "stolen" frequencies (around 3-3.75MHz) for use in downstream, your modem has successfully reused them for downstream bandwidth, but where the 17a profile has added frequencies to the upstream (above 8.5MHz), the modem has not been able to use them (or not enough of them, anyway).

Fritz may have given up on the upload, but he's pushing furiously on the download which this morning is claiming a synch of 39992 = a further 5Mbps gain at the cost of a minor 0.2Mbps loss on upload; and his speedo is showing downloads at up to 35Mbps. I hope for the sake of my poorly sickly line that he's hit the buffers. It needed a couple of resyncs to recover, and I'll be joining it soon.
