"Gateway hopping" and PN profiles

I was on an absolutely brilliant gateway earlier, then with the usual SNR increase after dark was forced to resynch when the router lost its connection (it syncs at the minimum SNR margin required to hold sync so i normally have to reboot about 7ish) and now have been put onto a gateway which seems to be dropping packets left right and centre,
my question is, if i start "gateway hopping" (not resynching, just disconnecting from the gateway and reconnecting) will it effect my PN profile? as in will it think iv got a bad connection and try and compensate, or will it follow the BT profile, (which should remain unchanged as i am not resynching)

But this option here in the diagnostics section where it says REBOOT that's what messes up IP profiles?

A 'disconnect' as illustrated by Moominfish, will drop the PPP session but maintain sync with the DSLAM in the exchange.
A 'reboot', whether by clicking an option on the router's interface or de-powering, will drop everything and cause a re-sync.
Either can be used to 'gateway hop', but obviously the former is preferable.

Quote from: pierre_pierre the disconnect still keeps a session open...
but it doesn't. It drops the session while maintaining sync.
