Looks like I'm on the snr trial but exchange not on list

Evening all. The kids accidentally turned off the Billion 8800NL earlier whilst playing. I just plugged it back in and the stats are interesting in that the SNR's are below 6 for the first time that I've noticed:

I seem to have gained around 9Mbps down and about 3Mbps up!

It'a weird as my exchange (Tenby SWTB) is not on the trial list I've seen.

Well the snr values have stayed so my exchange must be on the trial. I have noticed that my attainable is lower than my actual:

Attainable Rate (Kbps) 65295 20456
Rate (Kbps) 68860 19999

However, speedtests are coming back at around 66Mbps so guess it's an issue with the modem? Also, looking on MDWS, people with the newer snrs seem to be seeing the same with sync higher than attainable.

That's because attainable is doing its maths assuming 6dB is the lowest margin, so if you go below that things will be a bit odd.

Am tracking cabinets on the 'list' and the speeds otherwise so if the trials get enough people on lower margins we may see the effect. Other changes such as upload tweaks by PlusNet, the up to 52 Mbps Infinity 1 were all visible so no reason once this trial goes to larger volumes we should not see it.

Maybe they've opened the trial wider as I didn't see any Welsh cabs in the last list that was on here.

Looking on MDWS again, almost everyone that has an snr lower than 6 (bar 1 or 2 people) has a sync rate higher than their attainable. Strange.

It's not strange.

The attainable is calculated based on an snr of 6db.

Even if the snr is actually 4.8?

Yes, you're not on the trial unfortunately.

Yes because the attainable is just a basic calculation.
