Interleaving and more

Well as you do, when your broadband goes down you ring support and in my case within the hour it was sorted. Back once more to approximately my predicted speeds although former higher speeds are not being achieved.

Since going live, I've felt that my up speed was not all it should be and I asked if I had been correctly setup; assurances were given that everything was in order. OK then what about interleaving, would it be advantageous to turn it off. Answer, maybe but to change it would be a chargeable exercise as it involved an engineer visit to the cabinet and the internet connection was delivering predicted speeds, so there was in effect no fault. Was I being advised correctly here?

Here is some stats on my connection:

Your current maximum download speed is 48666Kbps.
Your current line technology is WBMC.

Is everything really as it should be?

Yes.

yeah as far as openreach (and most isps) are concerned interleaving is not a fault, and if you getting predicted speeds they very likely wont see that as a fault either, even when below predicted speeds they can consider it in spec and as such no fault. So if DLM doesnt revert back to fast path then you probably will have to put up with it.

However given your upstream isnt alot over 40mbit, I will hazard a guess if you downgrade to the 40/10 product then the extra snrm may be enough to reduce your error count (and any disconnections) to the point DLM is happy to put you back on fast path. This would cost you under 10mbit sync speed, based on your existing sync speed.

Although your data is a bit confusing as it suggests recently your upstream is already capped to 10mbit.
