it could only had bein the slightly higher error rate on this fastpath line that the DLM didnt like, personally i just dont think the DLM raises the NM in steps and instead jumps to the top NM and bands you before dropping down the NM in steps in till it gets to the that NM it cant handle and so jumps back to 15db on a band and starts the game all over again.
i come to this thinking as ive never seen my NM raise from say 6 to 9db or 9 to 12db. if it would try 12db pretty often it would learn thats the stable noise margin. but then again i gave it a 30day long sync at 12db and it still didnt learn from that
would be easyer if BTw would let you say reset my connection to 12db, instead of them unbanding you and just doing a default 6db NM reset as the dlm on long lines dosent like this and just heads for band on 15db

i feel that it has reset because it remembers what was happening last week
my guess is that when the banding is removed the history is left which is not good at all
i would really like plusnet to get btw to give us more info on how this works
the way this is going i can see plusnet ending up with the same disaster when we musved to plusdsl
which was all due to btw, but cost plusnet reputation
if any plusnet people are watching can they tell me how many drops i had in the last 24 hours?
and can the banding be removed again
and can they tell me how to get the profile changed picked up without a disconnect 😞

As this is the second time your line is being put on a banded profile, I'd suggest raising an intermittent fault on your account and please advise that this is the second time so that we can get to the bottom of the problem rather than going through an infinite loop.

trust me bluewhale this DLM does not learn. ive had mine reset once since since april and allowed it to band me with out doing anything, i can ceratainly say the DLM did not learn that my line was perfect at 12db for a whole month even thoe it did see it at the time and lower my NM.

Quote from: Asbo trust me bluewhale this DLM does not learn
well all i can say is that something has changed somewhere as i was stable from the start of the 2+ trial,
then things started to go wrong and it seems impossible to get back to scratch
i reckon the dlm does hold a long history of whats happened on your line and that's adding to my problems, pity it doesn't subkey it by mac address as it would then know new equipment was in place
and so reset ...
i'd love to see the software functional spec that the dlm is using...
with 1 disconnect in 2 days theres no way i should be back to 6000 and a ludicrous noise margin....

Quote from: bluewhale one other bizare thing was that when on the high downstream rate the dlm put a high margin on the upstream which cut the speed to 888
Now that is bizarre! I also have a FIXED upstream sync rate of 888kb/s (it's a bit low!).
I initially thought that the sync rate was the 'negotiated' result of an unusually high upstream TARGET SNR. However, after seeing your post, I realised that this may not be the case.
I now know for a fact that I'm on FIXED upstream and downstream sync rates!
Why did Plusnet not do this a month ago when I raised Question | ID: 30567017?
Instead, I received threats;
This would have resulted in a 'NFF' and a bill for ~£200. The line does not have any instability issues nor does the CPE lose sync with the DSLAM/MSIL unless initiated by BT Wholesale or the End-User.
Quote BT have completed comprehensive remote diagnostics on your service and have been unable to locate any service faults. Due to this, BT are currently requesting an appointment for an engineer to attend and review the fault from your property.
It should be noted that such a visit is not intended to fix problems with internal cabling, modems or other devices on your line.
Through our advice you should have already completed comprehensive checks to verify such elements are not the source of the problems experienced. If BT were to find that equipment and/or cabling under your own control is the source, charges may apply at a value of £144+vat.
Insults;
The downstream TARGET SNR was 15dB at the time of that statement - I have the pictures (although the TARGET SNR was reduced to 12dB next day)! The only unstable element is BT Wholesale's Destructive Line Management!
Quote The target SNR is 6dB but the DLM is actively increasing this to try to stablise the line.
If the line was unstable, it would have lost sync in the 36 hours before OpenReach pulled the plug, then re-inserted it, then pulled it etc. Sync was not lost during that period - Again, I have the pictures!
Plusnet have lost 2 x accounts due to the effects of BT Wholesale's Destructive Line Management.
Quote from: bluewhale ...i'd love to see the software functional spec that the dlm is using...
I'd also love to see that (if it exists), but I fear that the author(s) would be too embarrassed to release that information for public scrutiny.
