Edit: I did think to check wifi uptimes, which can be seen from scan results, which didn't reveal anything. Mostly surrounded by BTHub3 units, but the nearest neighbour probably has a sky adsl router as old and similar to my netgear.

The interference no longer has any significant impact on the broadband besides the stat graphs. It may have been fixed by:
- The maximize INP tweak actually did something.
- Removing the cover of the junction box to take the photo moved some wiring.
- The line test on Friday did something to the interleaving settings.
- Something else entirely, maybe the source of the interference was moved, fixed, shielded better, or a marginally faulty component got a bit better by itself.
Some of the theories don't quite tie in to the time the problem went away or the fact interference is still detectable with an AM radio.

At 7am yesterday I decided to remove the +2db extra noise margin tweak, returning closer to the default settings of the netgear, which might have been bad timing as that might have been the time the interference started up. This resulted in a slightly higher speed, but also about 49618 error seconds out of 86400, 58%, which probably isn't very good.

I have REIN problems at the moment which started a few weeks ago, almost as soon as new neighbours moved in to the house next-door-but one. The REIN has settled into a pattern where the source is on for an hour or two in the early morning and again for a similar time period in the late evening but exact timings vary from day to day. Sometimes it is on during the day also, but not too often. Today is a Sunday and they haven't switched it on yet, which is unusually late - must be having a lie-in. I am running Routerstats 24/7 on my computer and the transitions, which typically add about 4dB of extra noise, are very obvious. I have wandered round my house and my area with a MW radio when the noise source is on and when it is off so I could tell you what I experienced. I have approached my neighbours but they rapidly became defensive at the notion that something in their house could be causing a problem. Oh, and just before they moved in they had their guttering replaced, which would have scared-off any birds nesting on the roof!
Anyway, I would be happy to compare notes if you wish.

After openreach re-did the connections for the star wiring on Thursday, to fix the telephone, I made the mistake of seeing if I could stop increasing the noise margin by 2. While the broadband was completely unusable, obviously the DLM was happy to sit around doing absolutely nothing. But after 27 hours of being connected at 3814k, the DLM decided that was too fast, and decided it needed to jump in and fix that, and slow things down, by increasing the noise margin by 3.
The noise margin will probably go back down after a couple of weeks if I leave things alone, and hopefully the interference will have gone away by the end of September anyway.

My noise source might go off to university at the end of September - I am very much hoping so.

INP = Impulse Noise Protection
INM = Impulse Noise Monitoring
INS = Impulse Noise Sensor (according to the ITU G.992.3 PDF)

There's no harm so long as nobody takes it seriously.
Post #25 in the YouTube thread was a bit of a classic too.
The clue, if one were needed(!) is in the studious shunning of sentence case - that's what the Millennium Dome Experience content designers did to show they were taking the Michael too
