It's either interleaving change that has fixed it or TTB has changed their shaping profile.

If your CP is Uno/Xilo then its they who are responsible for any traffic shaping, not the underlying wholesale provider (TalkTalk Business).

I see. Yes it is Uno. I read somewhere that shaping should be applied to prevent these sort of things on sync time. Is that right because Plusnet once had a problem with their shaping profile getting similar results?

and this is something that we don't do and have never done.

BT do it at sync time on the BRAS. Dont TTB?

Changed router back to the ZyXel VMG-1312-B10A as it has higher sync and lower errors than the TP-Link WD9970, will monitor.

That's not what he meant by traffic shaping.
He was referring to throttling torrents and blocking specific protocols, which is what i would also refer to as traffic shaping.

What all ISP's do on xDSL with a variable sync rate is rate limit the downstream from the sync speed.
I wouldn't call this traffic shaping.

Well rate limiting is what I meant and I think it is fixed now as my downloads used to start with a blip at the beginning and now they are flat on netmeter graph.

3days, 12hrs, 6mins, 2secs

A good start, not one drop of PPP after router change with random 1gb download testing.

Certainly encouraging.

I note from that time period that 2 x 6 = 12, and 6 periods of 12 hours is 3 days.

Weird how spotting relationships between numbers, learned about 60 years ago, sticks.
