Its more than the weather is getting warmer so the line attenuation increases, ie copper becomes less conductive as it gets warmer.
My upstream attainable is now below my actual sync rate, fortunately not lost sync (yet).

Is the warmer weather issue more related to overhead cables?
Mine are via pavement chambers and the sync / max sync is still exactly the same as it was 30 days ago at the start of the trial
still thrilled with the stability, speed and low pings

I'd certainly expect overhead to be impacted more. I mean black cables hanging in the sun must REALLY warm up.
Different weather conditions also impact what kind of radio interference might be unintentionally picked up in the cables too.

It's been 5 days since the reset no change, DLM hasn't seen fit to put me back on G.INP I have no way to see any error rates etc to determine if it would do so with the Hub-One being so limited, will continue to monitor but I fear this will be a failure for me.

Sadly no the trial started a month ago no one else can join, and even if you could G.INP isn't for sorting out falling speeds I suggest making your own thread and posting your issue in it.

Looks like its trying to force a better download sync speed while adjusting the upload sync to achieve the end result.

What are your stats?
My SNR margin is 6.1 solid so I haven’t got any room to increase my DL sync unless we get a 3dB target. It’s been said before that’s different and probably wouldn’t be a feature in this trial
Since the beginning
Current Rate (Kbps) 14531 55713
Max Rate (Kbps) 14129 56771
SNR Margin (dB) 6 6.1
Line Attenuation (dB) 29.7 13.4
Impressive considering my normal sync was around 47 and then moving the router to the master socket and replacing the cable went to 49Mbps for years. Now it’s 56Mbps

The upstream and downstream aren't directly related, reducing the upstream will not gain any downstream as the blocks of frequencies used are reserved for upstream or downstream use, they cannot simply be swapped to whatever you'd prefer (sadly).
What does change however is as the weather gets warmer, the capacity of the copper line reduces due to increased resistance and so available rates can change. It hitting one direction more than the other just means that's the point where the frequencies are starting to cut-off. This time of year can be particularly frustrating as if you drop sync during the day you can be wondering why your SNR is above 6dB in the evening.
To make matters worse, G.INP on ECI only works on downstream. For example on my line I get tons of upstream errors and few on down since the trial. For the first time my upstream is dropping below 20Mbit.

Had a reset last night it and it seems DLM has saw fit to Re-enable G.INP, Hard to know for sure but i'm syncing more or less at the level it was when it was first applied give or take a couple of hundred KB, Hopefully it sticks but as mentioned the hot weather can play a part, plus the lockdown keeping people at home using their device's etc causing even more interference than there usually would be doesn't help.
Took around 10 days for DLM to make the change which I can't complain too much about.

Had a very short power cut this morning, all devices re-booted, stats now look more interesting.
All figures are downstream only and in Mbps.
G.INP is still enabled.
SNR has decreased from a constant 6.4 to 3.6.
Max rate has increased from 65.56 to 66.37.
Connection speed has increased from 63.84 to 73.99.
IP Profile has increased from a constant 61.73 to 71.55
Device speed has increased from a constant 61 to 62
No errors....
Live stats can be seen here

Just keeping the thread updated, Almost 6 weeks into the trial and my connection is still holding after G.INP being Re-enabled ( at least I think it is) did a little digging around to see if there was anything from Openreach on how things are going but found nothing, I guess they are not that concerned about it with the lockdown taking their focus elsewhere.
I will continue to update as and when the need arises.

Stability wise I've had up times of 25 days+ before a re-synch which on a SmartHub 6 is much better, usually around 14 days.
If it helped click the thumb
If it fixed it click 'This fixed my problem'

My line has been rock-solid stable since the trial start on a Zyxel VMG3925-B10B.
It hated the Home Hub 5A though, at least with the modem firmware on OpenWRT. Was dropping every day.
