i take these are sync speeds and not throughput?

Yes, synch speeds.

even so on 25db i struggled to get 17000 on 3db with clean wiring inside my house anyways

Yeah, I've always had decent synch speeds for my attenuation, but my noise margin has fluctuated more in the last few years and I've ruled out noise sources within my own house.

Just noticed this in My Sky:

Testing on your broadband connection began on 10/06/2014 and will be completed within 10 days.

I may have jumped the gun with my excitement, it seems line testing has been restarted and may very well end up settling on my old speeds in the end. I guess I'll find out in the next 7 days.

Nice, I wonder if this is being rolled out across the board?

I've seen my connection run through line testing without me prompting it, once or twice a year. I'm just wondering if the DLM has been programmed with new line profiles this time. I'll have to see what speeds I have when it ends.

In My Sky, what does it list as your last line testing date?

I mentioned above, it says line testing started on 3/6/14 so should just be about finished.

This is the 1st time that line testing has occurred, it never happened at the initial changeover.

Ah right. Could be a global trigger for line testing then, if the line profiles have been updated and they want every connection re-assessed for the new profiles.

Generally if you go 26 hours without a synch drop, line testing has stopped.

I wonder if that's why they started DLM again on my line. I was 3dB to start with, on a 17,000 synch speed. Now its 15,353 on a reported interleave of 384 (I didn't think it went that high).

Upload synch is now 1,360 (was 1100 or so) so the same as my Be account used to be.

Could be related to a bump in upstream speed in the line profiles, yeah. It's been a long time bug-bear on Sky.

This is me raising it over 3 years ago: http://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Archived-Discussions/Rai...

It's well past that time for me without a resynch.
What I have noticed is that although I'm synched higher 22306/1115 with the 3dB profile, most of the different speed tests don't seem to reflect the increased speed of the line, regardless of time of day that they are done..

36 hours since my last resynch, 3 dB downstream noise margin has held. 19,989 kbps down, 1,295 kbps up, 29 dB d/s attenuation. I've never hit 19 meg on Sky before, let alone almost hit 20 meg.

All that remains is to see if the 3dB NM can hold on my connection in the longer term, so far so good.
