That means..... If DLM has not raised my target SNRM to 15dB or more.... and its still at 6dB. I take its that the only other reason i would be synching lower..... but then again am I synching lower or is it just my profile???? as we can't tell as we cant access the modem stats....grrrrrrrr lol

Quite .

It could be the FTTC DLM is working with banded profiles(syncs), seeing as the whole thing is rate limited anyway.

But anyway, you said both lines started at 16dB SNRM? One typo perhaps, but two? Or did you copy/paste the line and edit the start?

Nope both lines started with 16dB SNRM in fact Line one had 16.9!! So by the graph floating about on here i should be good for 80-90mbps when they "max" it....hence why i'm so miffed that i can't get the max sync back! @ 40mbps..... sorry profile back at 38717.....lol

??
I'm puzzled.

Both started at 16dB, but now you are worried it has risen from the original 6dB to 15dB. "That means..... If DLM has not raised my target SNRM to 15dB or more.... and its still at 6dB.".

Either I'm missing something or you haven't posted something. You are directly contradicting yourself. They can't have started at 16dB and now risen to 15dB. And it couldn't still be at 6dB if it never was 6dB.

But you seem to have gone back to maximum profile so that's good .

Sorry i meant the "target" SNRM had risen to 15dB not the actual SNRM

Just an update really..... ISP (IDnet) 5 weeks in for this problem........ Wants me to send them 2 speed tests.... them and BT Infinity...... what this has to do with resetting dlm/SNRM target i have NO idea!!! And for the record BT's Service has taken a nose dive....... I take it all back tonight .....i'm seeing less than 10mbps now ....... no doubt it will get worse...... Why do ISP's think its OK to sell a product and then deliver something totally different?????? Last night both ISP's were delivering less than 6mbps just after midnight!!!! and there was me thinking a minimum of 12 mbps was TRUE.... If you are with BE/o2 or Sky/Easynet and you get over 10mbps......stay with them....FTTC as you can probably imagine is as good as any BT product......... need i say more?? lol

This is probabvly a really silly question....but here goes...

FTTC is only fibre to the cabinet, so...is your phone line noisy in any way ? From the Cabinet to the premises, infinity and speech run on the same copper pair !

That's not unusual. FTTC seems a lot more sensitive to congestion than ADSL (BT skimping on the backhaul is my guess) and at midnight all the off-peak periods kick in.

FTTC seems a lot more sensitive to congestion than ADSL

the target minimum from the cabinet is 20M or VDSL sync which ever lower, what happens after that will depend on ISP and BT backhaul.

MaxDSL product spec said that a service over 2M would perform the same as a 2M fixed speed service under congestion, is there a similar statement for WBC FTTC ? That did mean that a 6M service had to slow down a lot more than 2M in order to get tot he same point.

If statistical contention is based on IP address you still only have one of them so no more horses in the race than an ADSL customer.

I've no idea, I'm just commenting on what I see here (and others have reported on their lines).

During busy periods, on ADSL2+ my speed would drop by perhaps 25%, on FTTC drops of 60% aren't uncommon.

It's still faster than my ADSL2+ was so not really much of a problem- I just try to avoid the worst of the busy periods
