You shouldn't restart your VDSL2 modem cos DLM will make it worsen. Leave it alone!

In reply to a post by Bobby_Valentino:

Anyone know how to get the line unbanded/uncapped?

A DLM reset, or the DLM doing it itself in it's own time. Some migrations come with a DLM reset also.
The capping can speed it up.

As mentioned in previous posts the DLM does things in stages, often few days apart. I would have left the cap on at 40Mb. The change to Retx Low gave you a small throughput increase on the same sync speed.

I would apply the same cap again and give it the same number of days it took to change the Retx high to low.

So some advancements since my last post!

My line went down yet again randomly, no dial tone at all. Called BT out again and they said there was an issue on the D side in the green cab up the road. They fixed that, the dial tone is back, got the faceplate upgraded to an Openreach MK4 VDSL Plate & NTE5C Master Socket from the old NTE5 socket - result!

Not only that, it also looks like my line has been unbanded/uncapped too! Latest stats:

I guess after he fixed the line he must've done a DLM reset? Not sure he didn't mention it but just happy it's no longer banded/capped

I guess now it's now the waiting game to get the SNR downstream back down to 3db!
