are you just slow? seriously, you said stable from someone who ive actually been direct messaging and was talking to on that forum and on the official sky forum link that i posted, speedy was another who along with scubbie were the ones who got the answer from sky as to what profile they use. The answer, as seen in his reply in my link and confirmed by the following reply from the sky admin, says it is the middle standard/stable profile.

Could you kindly stop giving your input into something you're just speculating over, ive had my response from sky, through formums and direct messages so i no longer require your guess work thanks.

The answer you're looking at is where he says

Anyway, I think the outcome was that..

however, later on he remembered and posted the link to the actual answer, which I quoted.

There's no speculation involved.

i just question and confirmed you are right about the profile, however it wasnt stated in his actual answer before, he just said stable so just to confirm what 'stable' he ment i asked.
This has now pushed me even further away from wanting to go with sky if it means ill likely be faced with a higher level of interleaving (1000m copper line atm)

1000m from the cabinet?

It's incredible how important this DLM profile thing is. No-one seems to really understand what it is or how it actually works, yet people use it as part of their decision-making when selecting an ISP

because i live 1000m (yea RobertoS i live 1000m from my fibre cabinet) from the cabinet and have interleaving already, i do not want to move to an ISP that uses a profile that is more strict about errors etc and more likely to force a higher level of interleaving on me, increasing me ping time even more....

You should be ok with Zen. Once they realised their marketing error in setting everyone up as "Standard", they now choose "Speed". Obviously you'd be better on their own backhaul if it's available at your exchange, otherwise you'll have to make do with BTW.

Just had a read of the sky thread you linked to What DLM profile do sky chose for their FTTC?

And they appear to be getting somewhat confused ,regarding the product names and what those products actually are ie FTTC or ADSL

Sky broadband PRO is i'm sure ADSL with static IP and talk about there being several line management profiles for those migrants from BE /02 who had a static IP
So will only apply changes within sky's network similar to what be customers had

Sky VDSL2 (Fibre unlimited pro) the only changes made to that are customers now have the option of having a static ip,

As it's a BTOR GEA product they will retain full control via their DLM , Sky will not be able to gain any control over that in the foreseeable future , and probably continue to place new orders using the BTOR stable dlm option, which they are even adamant can't be changed,lol , more like they wont change it , to save on support calls or so they think

And if you think about this logically If BTOR where to allow sky to have such control over their DLM BTOR would have no other option than offer the same access to all ISP's and possibly BTW , Otherwise it would be deemed as anti competive, and seeing there has not been any talk about this by any ISP , it ain't gonna be happening , and someone somewhere at sky has got their wires well and trully crossed and this talk of LPM's applies to their ADSL pro product and nothing else

ISP's being able to have control or overide DLM would be wellcome news for many people, it would possibly increase take up as well , there's lots of online gamers out there that rely on lowest possible latency

That's not what it says here

In reference to www.sky.com/shop/your-move-to-sky/broadband-pro/:

Static IP address

New: With either Sky Broadband Pro product, you can request a static IP address. This can be really useful if you are hosting your own server for gaming or even your own personal website. Already have a static IP address with O2 or BE? No problem - we will automatically set up a new one for you.

Line profile customisation

Coming Soon: Change your line profile for speed or reliability with either Sky Broadband Pro product. Sky Broadband Unlimited Pro even has a gaming mode, so you can enhance your gaming experience too.

Static IP address and line profile customisation features can be managed in My Sky.

Looks like you're the one getting confused. More edits required?

on a DLM labeled as "speed" if its not severe enough to warrant a instant resync then in my view it shouldnt then be severe enough to warrant action at all, so by what you just said DLM is sort of like "ok there is a minor problem on the line so I will leave it alone until the morning but then drop the line and slow it down anayway for this minor problem".

Whilst someone on a "speed" profile would be someone willing to ignore issues that are "not severe".
