by the way I do agree that the implementation of DLM is silly. I dont think its right DLM forces a resync to enforce settings, in my view it should wait until the line drops of its own accord or do the resync actually during an error burst (when its needed, not hours later). But thats openreach for you.

It would better still if they gave the option for it to stay on a wide open mode,(no dlm) as there will be some lines that only suffer ocasional issues, so the line may stay on fast path and a full sync for week's months or longer before dlm will apply interleaving and reduction in sync, for several weeks ,before restoring things to how they where before it, waded in for no real reason, as the punter wasn't seeing any effects no packetloss or failed downloads,broken streams ect, and could of continued without any problem for a lot longer

It will resync anytime if things are severe enough, we had an almost unusable connection at work once. It was working fine and then it wax reduced to virtually nothing, massive packet drop and almost no throughput. It then resynced about 13:30 and all was a lot better, it may of resycned again that night as well.

In reply to a post by Hoolay88:

leave him believe in his assumptions. ill just chose not to listen to them when deciding between zen and sky. IF all isp's do turn out to use the speed profile, then i believe ill end up going with sky, however if sky use standard or stable, then i'll most likely go with zen, just need to try and find out from someone who actually knows. going to have a look on skys forums

I found the answer for you, Sky use OR Stable.

In reference to www.skyuser.co.uk/forum/sky-broadband-fibre-help/53431-reminder-abo...:

Re: Reminder about the reality of DLM on Openreach FTTC

Update:

After Speedyrite and myself questioned Sky over this, we have finally got an answer.

Sky uses the defaut setting 'Stable' and you cannot request to have this changed.

thanks, yea i found that out, actually from the same person who posted that. the middle option is what they use, think ill most likely be going with zen then as they use the speed profile.

That's not the middle option. That's the last option.

BTW "Standard" = Openreach "Speed"
BTW "Stable" = Openreach "Standard"
BTW "Superstable" = Openreach "Stable"

it is the middle option that is used that they were talking about

See the first reply, it was him along with scubbie and a few others who were the ones who got the answer from sky

Sky don't use BTW.

the answers still the same....its from the same people who you're getting your info from to back up your claim that its the super stable/stable profile, which he clearly indicates here is not the case....it is the middle profile, stable/standard

The answer I posted says "stable" which is the last option. Would you like me to put that in "bold"?
