Just grabbing an update as to when we're going to see some movement on the REIN Case.

[Update] Everything has been rock steady since engineer left, all graphs except for FEC have been horizontal then.....
17:45hrs massive FEC spike, SNRM has dropped from 6.0 to 5.3dbs . Nothing showing on bitloading graph though
massive CRC spike which actually disconnected my DSL while I was typing this
Sync speed dropped

In reply #133, the big depression and missing tones in the bit loading from circa tone 358 upwards (as this was before you new drop-wire) could well be primarily due to the defective cable.
If the Bit loading in reply #138 was after the Interference started, then another Bitloading for comparison from tomorrow daytime when the interference is not there (with hopefully no loss of sync since reply #138) will then indicate the tones that are being affected by the Interference. (ie.you need 2 daytime graphs with the same sync, one with Interference & one without).
The depression around tone 384 and similar on higher tones could well be related to the REIN. As already mentioned, a comparison to a daytime Bits/Tone without interference at the same sync will help clarify that. Some of the very slightly reduced bit loading below tone 384 eg. around tones 200 and 250 might be due to MW broadcast interference and is not uncommon.

weird one last night, because I wasn't seen much on the graphs I decided to test the radio to see if I could pick up any interference. Somehow I actually picked up some french radio station broadcasting around the 612khz mark.
Anyway, as I said seems have been quiet since the weekend, so I'll keep monitoring and just hope I get mega spikes again for the reins engineer to hunt down. Added DSL stats from the router to show the error rates for 13 hours uptime, seem quite high although the graphs don't show much.

At say 2130, when the FEC and CRC is very low to zero, is the Bitloading pattern still the same or do those rough U shapes disappear?
As far as the Modem/Router DSL stats go, obviously the numbers show the error rates during the uptime to be somewhat high. What is probably more useful is the stats say at a 15 minute interval when no interference is present, and likewise when it is present (as you did before). One can then look at the change in the figures over the interval.
OK a couple of thoughts for you to eliminate (or add suspicion to) some possibilities -
Do you have any MW Pirate Radio stations nearby?
Do you or any of your close neighbours have old type Analogue Cordless phones?
Do you have any Radio Amateurs nearby?

As to the Pirate station or Radio Amateurs I've no idea. There is a radio mast just around the corner for taxi cabs, and about 100 meters away is the local Police station with all their masts/mobile phone masts etc but since they would be in use outside the hours the interference appears I ruled them out as a source.
As to the phones I've no idea. I have a corded phone with answer machine connected atm but no idea what the neighbours use.
I've posted the latest stats from dslstats. I've been trying to do some research on interleaving which seems straight forward but most of what I've seen suggests a depth of between 1 and 64. But if you look at my stats the interleave depth is at 192, not sure if thats something to be concerned about or not.

A Radio Amateur would tend to have quite an array of fairly large antennae, so you'd probably see them if there was one in the vicinity. Unlikely to be Taxi or Police Radio for the reasons you've mentioned and the much higher frequencies used for such transmissions.
A MW Pirate Radio station might be fairly obvious once you start looking. It would obviously be on air when you were suffering the interference because it would be fairly local (and so it would be quite a strong signal), they are usually run by some minority group, broadcasting just one particular genre of music, the quality is normally fairly poor and not well presented. Depending on the minority group, it may not be English language being used.

Now have a tune around on your Radio, see if you can find something anywhere around about 1070kHz to 1100kHz (280/290m. ish) also somewhere down around 1600kHz (188m.)

Then again I'm on a steep learning curve with this stuff (steep more like vertical) so I could be talking bs
Just had another spike, CRC aswell and the bitloading changed again
