10 day "training" period

[#1]

Is there any thing I can do during the 10 day training period, apart from insuring that my wiring is optimal, to ensure a reasonable MSR/FTR?  I know not to reboot the router too often.    Would it help, for example, to reboot during the evening to ensure that the SNR margin remains high enough to avoid errors?  I know this sounds counter-intuitive, but my SNR margin drops about 3dB during the night (and recovers during the day).  I am concerned about a resync during the night which may raise the target.

Pretty much it.  Daily reboots fist thing in the morning are optimal.
Or you could just get a high sync event and switch your router off for ten days

Thanks for replying James. You must be working late tonight 
I'll leave my router for now, but it's already down to 3dB.  I guess it's the nights drawing in.  Syncing at 3648K though, which is the best I've can ever remember.    I'm sure BT will think it's too fast and raise the margin soon

Why first thing in the morning?

It's when there's least activity at the telephone exchange, which means less noise on the line, which means optimal sync conditions.
I'm saying optimal a lot today.

To ensure that the DLM notices and gives you the best profile for your line.

Sorry to go on, but why would the DLM not notice if the router is left synced all the time?

It generally couldn't give a flying if you were connected permanently.  It picks up on resync events.
If you're getting a good sync speed then don't resync.  See how it goes.
I'm offski

It's not really related to activity at the telephone exchange James. It's more to do with daylight hours BUT if you have some locally generated interference from a works or other local source that will influence when the noise margin is at it's greatest.
As a good rule of thumb anywhere between an hour after sunrise to an hour before sunset is probably ok, if there is no static (lightning) about. The best way is to monitor your SNRM for a while to see how it changes throughout the 24 hrs (weather conditions/pressure patterns can have an effect as well!).

You're right of course.
