Hugely improved. Don't spend all 2Mb at once.

It's still more than adequate for the vast majority of households, so no, not sad really.

Compared to other developed countries, getting excited about 60Mbit is indeed sad.

Emigrate.

Depends which developed countries you compare to and the percentage of people in those developed countries who get more than that. We compare well to some and poorly to others - but there are lots of developed countries in a lot worse position than we are.

Your sig is quite relative in that for a line of similar length to the OP what a huge variation there is depending on the make up of your line.

Noise margin:
4.9 / 1.3

Gained about 4 meg

The drop wire was replaced a few years ago, but that is only 20-25 metres. Then 6 metres from the say (too dark to go outside to estimate) 8-9 metres round the outside then through the wall to master socket.

When they installed the new drop wire they did say it is much heavier gauge than was used when the houses were built in the mid 70s. It's underground from PCP to pole.

The 600m was initially paced out by me, adding for the various links and verticals, but I was dead chuffed when the engineer's JDSL said ~0.6km.

At 6dB I was getting 65,702Kbps, which was impressive enough, but historically it was high 57,000s until I replaced the HG612 with the Billion.

Looks like a DSLAM reset to me. The upstream should remain on a 6dB target. The fact it has also dropped to 5dB suggests it's not a DLM thing. The attainable WILL rise with a lower SNRM target, certainly with any Broadcom modem.

A resync is the easiest way to find out. The lower dB DLM profiles remain in place after a resync. I'm pretty confident the line would resync at 6dB.

You were right. I got fed up with the uncertainty and rebooted the router. Back to almost exactly the prior sync. Now 65618/13914.

Still highly impressive for 600m, as lee said.

LOL

It's more a question of the sync for the line length. Which has been very high since G.INP re-asserted itself a few days after my banding was removed.

The new 65618/13914 sync proves that already high value was no freak event. Max attainable has been in the high 65k region since I ditched the HG612s. I expect on a good day I could get 66K/14K, but that would be pure icing on the cake as you say.

Apologies if this has been asked before but which Billion do you have and what cab type are you connected to?

Thanks
