Every sync... identical speed???

[#1]

Sometimes I do turn off the router e.g. when away for more than a day, or when the room is needed as a bedroom.
My sync is always at the same speed: I supposed it would vary. Does it point to a banded profile, or is there another explanation?

[#2]

You're on a 3-6Mbps banded profile and you're syncing at the top end. It looks like the connection's nice and stable, other than 2 drops today which I'm assuming were caused by router reboots?
Please report this to the Faults Team as a speed fault with a note to request the banding be removed, there should be no problem actioning this for you.

Thanks. You're spot on. One was comically accidental. Butterfingers was looking for some info on the surge protector and managed to power everything off. ::). The other was a momentary power outage,probably from a fairly near substation flicking over.
Am going away for about 10 days on Thursday, so will be shutting all down until return when I may raise fault.
May I ask a slightly OT question?
Bit loading normally shows up to tone #280ish but now there are tones up to #320 @ 1bit, not seen before. Puzzled.

The extra tones will be in use due to slightly better SNR margins on the individual tones, this is why you see slightly different synchronisation speeds at different times. On ADSL2+, each tone can support one bin which gives you 4kbps sync. So your 40 extra tones as a minimum could give 160kbps extra sync

When I powered up on return I synced @ 7290kbps and that has been maintained. Before I raise fault, does that increased sync rate mean that banding has come off without my intervention?
My BT and PN Profile are still 5500

Hi lucerne,
The banding has not been lifted, it's currently set between 4864Kbps - 9728Kbps so once you sync near the higher rate consistently it will rise again. If you stay at 7290 your profile will lift to 6000k

Thanks JoJo
From what  Ben said I am surprised that the banding has moved up a notch to what you quote. I thought they were cast in stone.
With router's reported attenuation 47dB is there much to be gained by still asking for the banding to be removed once the sync rate has reached its likely peak.

Hi lucerne,
have a look here. The graph shows the different banded profiles and bearing in mind your attenuation I would say that if you're getting a good sync rate then it wouldn't matter if you were banded or not.
