FEC Errors HG612

[#1]

This seems like a lot of errors in just a day and a half, sunset was 18:22 and everything is quiet from Midnight on, had a Resync after about 24 days or so and about 60 ish previous to that.

[#2 · Accepted solution]

Your line appears to be set very well with GINP active as well as error correction (the FEC errors you see)

You have so much headroom that DLM has activated both you are using 252 kbps for error correction and still getting 40000 sync

I would not bother as the line seems rock solid with zero ES in the last days or so

Thanks for taking the time to point out my line is running tip-top for a long line, I was just curious as I've not seen that many errors bunched together of late that I can recall. I've read ES/CRC errors are not desirable in any type of large volume and I am far from savy with the inner workings of a DSL Modem.
