Noise Margin

[#1]

My noise margin has been raised form 8db-11db and Profile down from 6000Kbps to 5000Kbps over this weekend, I lost sync yesterday twice and had to reboot a couple of times for it to get back up and working, is it true that i have to wait 14 days for it to go back down?
Sat, 2009-11-28 17:04:48 - Loss of synchronization :1
Sat, 2009-11-28 17:05:47 - LCP down.
Sat, 2009-11-28 17:05:48 - Loss of synchronization :2
Sat, 2009-11-28 17:05:49 - LCP down.

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 6848 kbps 448 kbps
Line Attenuation 18 db 5.5 db
Noise Margin 11 db 24 db

No it unfortunately isn't true.
It may well take well over 3 weeks but only if your line is stable with low error rates.
If it isn't stable or the errors are still considered high by the automated system it won't reduce at all.
However and this is rather important looking at your stats I would start checking your internal wiring.
Can you connect the router to the test socket with nothing else connected and report the stats.

Tryed master socket heres some graphs, What are the blips? .

Uptime for the router is 21:25:04. no log errors.

Hello found out that it was my laptop making the blips on the graph, on HomePc now.
I'm using a Netgear DG834 V1  V3.01.38,  is it normal after losing sync for the noise margin to fluctuate?
Going to leave it for a couple of weeks to see if my IP will increase...

That noise graph is absolutely horrible, there is something very wrong here, especially as you seem close to the exchange you should sync at 8128 with a fairly large Noise Margin. Something is very intermittent. Do I understand these results are from being plugged into the test socket as per Oldjim's picture?
First please check your phone line -  can you hear/have you heard any crackling or other intermittent noise on the line? Dial a 1 to get rid of the dial tone. If you need more time before the NUT (number unobtainable tone) dial the quiet line test 17070 option 2. (Don't use any ringback or other test). Who is your Telephone Line Rental provider?
Can you also post the results from http://www.speedtester.bt.com/ - (you need Java Runtime Environment installed for this to work - the latest version for your OS).
Login to https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer_speed and advise what it says for your current profile/line speed.
If your graph wasn't from the Test socket could you give an Outline description of your installation -
1) Do you have an NTE5 Master LineBox (the type with the removeable lower front plate) and which logo it has on it.?
2) Whether you have any fixed extension wiring and sockets & how many, and roughly how the cables go from one to another;
3) What filters do you have and where is the Modem/Router plugged in?
4) Do you have a corded phone, do you have a cordless phone - if so what type - DECT or Analogue?
5) Is any other POTS (plain old telephone service) equipment (Faxes, Answer phones, Sky boxes or Alarms systems etc) plugged in/connected.

If your noise margin looks like that all day the first thing to suspect would be a noisy line.
My second guess would be something electrical that is on all the time. Is your router very near something electrical that is on all the time (I'm including PCs, monitors or printers etc. in that)?

Thanks for reply, we moved into this house on November 9th, There was no line box so we got BT to install a new one
and put an extension in the kitchen, week later I signed up to O2 and with there modem I can remember connection speed was around
7500 and noise margin was 8db, wasnt getting good speeds in the evening like everyone else so cancelled and joined Plusnet.
Theres no noise at all from the phone line.
It doenst make a difference if i connect via the master socket i get ramdon connection speeds?
Anotherone question's>
1) Do you have an NTE5 Master LineBox (the type with the removeable lower front plate) and which logo it has on it.?
  Answer: Yes, Open Reach Logo (BT Installed)
2) Whether you have any fixed extension wiring and sockets & how many, and roughly how the cables go from one to another;
  Answer: Yes, one extension, one cable to line box (BT Installed)
 
3) What filters do you have and where is the Modem/Router plugged in?
  Answer: Still have two 02 filters (Installed), just bought new ones BT MF50/Excelsus not used. Modem currently in Line Box
  DG834v1 & WTG624 v2.
4) Do you have a corded phone, do you have a cordless phone - if so what type - DECT or Analogue?
  Answer: Corded Phone in extension, no cordless phones.
5) Is any other POTS (plain old telephone service) equipment (Faxes, Answer phones, Sky boxes or Alarms systems etc) plugged

Going to monitor things now if anything eletrical is distrubing the router.

Thanks for your answers. You are going to need to do some double checking, although it's BT installed it can still go wrong!
Unfortunately you are going to need to plug into that test socket (as per the picture in reply #1). I'd use one of your BT MF50 filters, so it's different from what you've had connected, first try your other modem/router - collect some stats and noise margin graphs and note how many time the connection drops over what period (should be able to get that info from the stats). Then do the same with the current modem/router.
If you can post Noise graphs from the other modem/router and stats as soon as you are able, so we can do some comparisons with your previous posts until you can post the latter lot.

[#11]

Thanks for helping us, at the moment I am just monitoring with everything in the home eletrical off not including pc & router,  stats are still very wild?
going to borrow another router tomorrow and do some more tests.

Don't rule out the PC. I've seen an example where the PCs power supply was packing up and causing problems with the ADSL. If your router is near the PC try moving it as far away as the wires permit and make sure the router to filter wire is also well away.
The graph you posted in reply 2 showed the noise margin varying around two distinct levels, have you managed to identify what causes that? That graph is very indicative of something going on and off for short periods (fridge or freezer?).

Hello again, havent done any more testing yet, waiting to see if my profile will change.

Nudged.
