That's not good! Fingers crossed it'll be back on for both of us soon!

I'm still determined to try to get to the bottom of the strange noise issue causing very high FEC on the line that seems to disappear every night at 7pm on the dot until 10.30pm when it returns!! See a few lines down on this thread for a discussion between myself and MHC.

As I recall, it was your connection that showed G.INP dealing very well with large amounts of errors. I wonder if the errors you're seeing now are caused by the same thing.

Yes G.INP was doing really well. It only got turned off as DLM got reset by my move to BT from Plusnet this week. Now I'm sync'd at 57000ish but attainable never drops below 68000Kbps. I was seeing upwards of 400,000 fec/hour yesterday. Slightly lower at 200k today!

Something funny is going on as if it was only noise, surely the attainable wouldn't be showing so high would it?

My line was pretty much the same, not much that can be done about it other than allowing G.INP to do its job... as intended.

My lines has stabilised very well now, still mising speed but that just the way it is it seems.

Once thing though, I noticed you resynced a good few times and two of the times where within 15 minutes of each other... this won't help DLM in deciding what to do... if anything may make it stress and put you on higher depth of interleaving.

I feel that if you leave it be from now onwards it will have G.INP by Monday morning... I found it takes around 48-72 hours after reset to reappear on downstream.

The attainable seems to increase when interleaving is increased, for some reason.

OK thank - good to know. I'll leave it be and just check the electrical stuff in/around the house now to see if that's what's causing the very (as in exactly same time each night!) consistent drop/subsequent rise in noise early evening.

What happened at around 17:00?

Errors seems to have dropped?

I'd love to say I know but I haven't a clue! I was home but wasn't doing anything that I wouldn't normally be doing. The only that is different to usual is that the washing machine was on. BUT I put that on at about 4.30pm.

I am thinking about making a note of each time I turn a new electrical device on. At least if the noise drops again, I can compare times.

And tonight 18:55 to 22:25 - check anything you have on a timer and is the timer out by 5 minutes.


One thought - do you have evening only street lights?

Yeah it's like clockwork isn't it?

I checked around the house at lunchtime and there's nothing on a timer. I also left the TV and SKY off and unplugged all afternoon but the issue was still there. The streetlights are evening only but are still on at the moment (they go off at midnight I think) but the noise is back so can't be them.

I have tracked the start of the issue down. It was Fri 20th November at 23:00hrs. The date isn't significant at the moment but I'm still racking my brain!
