Lower SNR extended to my cab?

I had been happily sync'd for about 12 days until shortly before 12pm today when there was a resync. I had a warning email about the resync so checked my stats. Seems I'm now connected at 66Mbps (3 more than usual) and SNR down is 5.3.

Does this mean that my cab is now using the new SNR profiles? I am tenbyboy2 on MDWS. My current stats:

It appears to be yes. It matches the criteria expected.

1st is that only the downstream is affected. Upstream will show the usual slight variation but should remain roughly the same.
2nd is that the line doesn't jump straight to 3dB. Every example I've seen show the line should drop in 1dB stages.
3rd is that the max attainable rises with the drop in target SNRM.

With a lower SNRM caused by a DSLAM reboot it usually affects both downstream/upstream. The max attainable usually drops back down after all your crosstalkers reconnect. It also doesn't go 1dB intervals.

You appear to be on a 5dB target. If DLM thinks the line is coping then in the next couple days it should drop to 4dB. Could you post back if it does indeed drop to 4dB?

Thanks for the reply - I was hoping that was the case. I've had a couple of disconnects over the past few months that I though was the trial but as you said - the upstream and downstream were affected but speed dropped back down within a few hrs.

I'll keep an eye in it over the next couple of days and yes I sure will post back if it drops to 4db.

Thanks! Please could you post the errors part of the adsl info --stats result, too? This will help us determine if your line is stable.

Here we go this is obviously just since the resync:

At one point it was at 5dB downstream and a D/S Sync of about 38.8Mb.

Nice!! Mine's still at 5.3 this morning but it's less than 24hrs since the resync so hopefully, as long as it stays stable enough, I'll see a further drop later this week

In reply to a post by j0hn83:

It appears to be yes. It matches the criteria expected.

Agreed.

Looking at MDWS, the line seems to be getting the same FEC and retransmission rates as before, and no CRC or ES.

Currently looking good to go for the next step.

That's good news! Fingers crossed then I see a further drop in SNR some time this week

Yes, not like mine! 28454402 downstream FEC's/hour in 23 hours, 5 minutes and 50 seconds on a downstream SNR margin of 3 dB!
