Upstream rate now capped?

I was on the ADSL2+ DLM trial and as the trial finished I decided that I preferred my line with the DLM turned off.
I was getting downstream rates > 5000 kbps  and upstream > 1000 kbps.
I've just noticed today (I don't know how long it's been like this) that my upstream is now fixed at 448 kbps.
Mode:			ADSL2
Channel: Fast
Trellis: U:OFF /D:ON
Line Status: No Defect
Training Status: Showtime
Down Up
SNR (dB): 6.7 23.7
Attn(dB): 42.0 25.2
Pwr(dBm): 19.4 12.0
Max(Kbps): 5448 18035
Rate (Kbps): 5447 448

Anyone else on a fixed DLM profile seeing this or is it just me?  I'm not sure if the cap can now be removed without re-enabling the DLM - which is something I definitely do NOT want!.

Re: Upstream rate now capped?

Glad yours is okay.
I knew I couldn't trust BT to not fiddle with the settings after the trial  Sad
I'll keep my fingers crossed that something can be done without switching DLM back on.

AFAIAA it's just those on the trial and they had the option to stay on the last config or got back to DLM.

Re: Upstream rate now capped?

I'm still off DLM control, and my upstream is fine:

DownStream Connection Speed 15932 kbps
UpStream Connection Speed 1160 kbps

Re: Upstream rate now capped?

The trial was simply that, to gather feedback from user experience and opinions from ISPs. My understanding is that the trial was run by placing orders on BT Wholesale to change settings - not something suitable for full-time open use. However feedback was very positive (I don't recall any adverse comment here) and the hope is that BT Wholesale will build an ISP control panel to provide options for manual profile control.
At the end of the trial trialists were given the option of sticking with their final profile or reverting to full DLM control. Not surprisingly the former option was the one most (if not all) went for. Until (and if) an ISP control panel becomes available non-trialists (and any trialist requiring anything changed) are stuck with full DLM control. Sad

Re: Upstream rate now capped?

Hi Robr,
in another thread I have seen my SNRM and UPstream connect change all of a sudden.
6dB & 1000+ UPstream //changed// >>  31.6dB and 443kBit UP
Unable to elicit a response from DLM MSAN etc. by reseting the router through its Web interface.
Wait and see I guess.
NB. Never been on the trial so no connection there.

Hi newthing
The dlm trial isn't the common factor, but the upstream capping looks familiar  Sad

@robr, you were capped, not sure why, but I've placed the order for you now and it should be uncapped from Monday.

Re: Upstream rate now capped?

Mand,  will this order turn the DLM back on??  Is so, please cancel it as I'd prefer to keep the stable download rate that I've had since the end of the DLM trial.
Thanks

Re: Upstream rate now capped?

No change yet.  Looks like it's still capped.  Tried rebooting the router this morning and upstream still on 448.

Was the order cancelled?  There's a ticket on my account on Friday saying
