Router stats just after a short (5 – 10 sec) power cut
Noise Margin: 2.5 dB (default noise margin 6dB)
Connection Rate: 5536 Kbps
Line Attenuation: 51.0 dB
Power: 19.5 dBm
Max Rate: 5824 Kbps
No way is that going to hold up so
Resync with 5dB default noise margin
Noise Margin: 5.1 dB
Connection Rate: 4928 Kbps
Line Attenuation: 51.0 dB
Power: 19.4 dBm
Max Rate: 5216 Kbps
Much better

...
I've just shifted to fibre but for the last year or so I've been running consistently with a margin of 3dB.
For some time my default had been 6dB but after BT fixed a noisy line problem it reduced to 3 without any input from me.
I don't think a low margin is necessarily a killer (and another 3dB gives you just that bit extra) as long as it's steady.
Perhaps your resync coincided with a particulary quiet period?

Nope - it always does that after a power cut and there is no way my line is stable at that speed or noise margin
It actually clocked up 3000 uncorrected errors in the minute or so before I initiated the reync

I think he meant your resync coincided with a quiet period, which actually it undoubtedly was, albeit very brief. You no doubt resynced ahead of many of the other local modem/routers so the crosstalk from their lines and hence background noise was lower, so the margin would have been greater if you'd been connected at your normal speed. Once the others came back on line, down goes the margin.

Just to rub it in

Yes, that's what I meant of course.
I used to monitor noise fluctuations and it was surprising how much they could vary.
I managed to persuade BT that my line's noise was very weather-dependent and they found (I think) a faulty surge arrester on my pole.
