Slight drop in sync

I have enjoyed solid 80mb sync for the last 3 years 80001 down and 19999 up (only few meters from the cab)

But on the 8th of this month it's dropped to 79996 down and still 19999 up. I know you're going to say big deal. But I'm just wondering what would have caused the change? Still on fast path and nothing else seems different. I just don't want it to be the start of any issues coming my way.

The Modem is an ECI one.

Ignore my sig it's old and from my old house

Probably a tiny amount of cumulative cross-talk from one or more newer connections.

Assuming you have an unlocked modem you may find the Attainable has dropped more than that.

I just put my unlocked 612 back on to check stats and they are pretty much the same as it was a year ago. just a 0.3 difference in down SNR - strange? Firmware upgrade with the dslam or modem?

Sorry, it was me turning on an electric motor!

That change in sync speed or SNR really is minor and there are so many things which could cause it. Some might be transient, others might be there permanently and vary over time. Examples: another user on the cabinet, or a user turning their device on, a component failing or changing characteristic in your modem, contact resistance on the cable from socket to modem, a street light, a French radio station, your fridge, the factory down the road, atmospheric temperature, a car driving over the cable duct, time of day, rain or dry, sun spot, and many many more...

Thanks for the sarcastic comment...

I was just interested in what it might be? not that it affects anything. Sorry for asking a question.

So what are the Max and Bearer lines' figures?

If I was really being totally sarcastic, I would not have given the list of examples. The point being that the change is minute and almost anything can cause it - even someone several miles away turning on an electric motor.

My SNR can vary by 3 or 4 dB over a day and a change of 0.3 can happen in minutes.

I don't think it's anything to do with SNR or attainable rate. My attainable rate is still @ 97mb ish which is was a year ago.

Just explain a little what they are?

When you telnet into the HG612 they are near the top of the response to xdslcmd info --show
