Hi
How do I get my target noise margin reduced?
If I sync my line during the day it will connect at about 3200 at 15db, and will be rock solid within about 2 or 3 db until the noise margin suddenly falls to zero, and the router reconnects at about 1900. I did report this as a fault at the start of the year and BT did come out more then once but couldn't improve anything, I think that during this process the target margin must have been increased, because from memory my router would always connect at 6db. I'm assuming there is something causing a lot of external noise at certain times of the day.
I have been monitoring my connection using routerstats and given the line is very stable at 1900 at 15db, and the fact how the line used to perform, I know it would be stable at a lower target margin. However I don't know how to get BT to make the necessary changes.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
James

You need to find out what is causing the drop.
Can you monitor the noise margin dynamically and see if you can trace the cause. If it always happens at the same time there must be something starting which is causing it.
If it is relatively random but still in the evening I would try connecting to the socket behind the master socket faceplate so as to remove your wiring from the equation and more to the point isolate any extensions with a bell wire.
If you look behind the master socket is there only one pair of wires coming in and are there any other wires going out which are not via the removable faceplate

I have already tried the test socket on the master socket, seeing if it something internal by turning things on and off etc without any luck. It must be some external noise issue.
The line is very stable at 1900 @ 15db so I don't think reducing the target margin would cause a problem. I thought BT's systems would only raise the target margin if there was a certain number of resync events per hour. At most there would be 1 resync a day, and if I left the router on 24/7 there wouldn't even be this.

Quote from: axisofevil If you have one of the following routers:

Unfortuntely I don't have one of those routers, so can't fix the target noise margin.
If I raise a ticket will Plusnet be able to get the target noise margin reduced?

There is no point in getting your target changed if you are suffering any kind of drops or re-syncs at all.

I don't think you fully understand how maxDSL works. You must have some sort of intermittent problem, and you need to determine whether is is internal or external, your "tests* to date do not confirm that to any degree of confidence. Without the cause being known and fixed, it will be pointless lowering the Target SNRM.
You haven't commented as to whether you have any extension wiring. What router are you using? Do you normally leave it on 24/7, if not what time do you usually switch it on? Can you post some current ADSL Line Stats (DS & US) - sync rate, attenuation, and Noise Margin (SNRM).

However Gel is not JEB, so maybe it isn't.
I confess to getting confused and not realising I wasn't answering the OP (JEB).
So @JEB - what router do you have?
