Every day I find myself checking the speeds up and down, rarely (if ever?) do speeds increase. I feel that I have become obsessed by a falling speed issue, I wish that I wasn't but I feel that I'm being cheated, rightly or wrongly. whatever, I don't think that slowing broadband is acceptable and that this will be a big issue with many more over time.
In today's post, an invite to join BT Infinity and hints of higher speed broadband. I find it hard to laugh about it, I know that I probably should!
Thanks in advance for checking my line, regards, Dan

Classic sign is sync of around 69 meg plus interleaving hell of depths at 1000+ (it would appear to be a banded profile that lines default to where G.INP is enabled, but the end user has a modem such as the ECI doorstops, that have incompatible firmware on them)

Maximum rate Down is shown as 58328 kbps Until the evening before yesterday it was about 63000 kbps. Current rate Down is logged at 32398 at the router, but Speedtest shows just below 30Mbps. The current speed can drop when the maximum speed varies down, or up, oddly, there doesn't seem to be a correlation.
It seems the we try to wring the maximum speeds from a "suck it and see" system affected by all manner of possibilities. Robust, it isn't.
How can I find my interleaving depth and what does that say about my particular connection? Would it indicate, for instance, old cabling in the road that isn't all it ought to be?

I have a Huawei modem on the way from eBay to replace my ECI one to see if it will solve my sudden speed drop.

Will my speed rise to support the extra service again (80/20)? I note that my Maximum rate Up and down has increased and now stands at 60604 DOWN, 18122 UP, A long way below 35Mbps Down, currently connected, and the 11999 kbps UP.

You confirmed that danludlow has G.INP enabled on his line at the moment.
His profile is "0.128M-35M Downstream, Retransmission High - 0.128M-15M Upstream, Retransmission High"
I am using an unlocked Huawei HG612 modem & I can see from my historical connection stats that I am connected to a Huawei cabinet DSLAM & that G.INP was activated on my connection 23rd March.
I & a number of other users would be interested to know which of the connection stats shown below are used to confirm the High or Low levels of Retransmission for G.INP active connections.

If you are unable to confirm which stats are used to determine the Retransmission levels, could you please confirm what is reported at your end for my connection so that we users could compare our stats & maybe determine it for ourselves?
I have provided my PlusNet account username for you by a PM.

Your profile is set as "0.128M-22.4M Downstream, Retransmission Low - 0.128M-5M Upstream, Retransmission Low"
I wouldn't be able confirm which shows the difference although personally my guess would be in the "G.INP Framing:" value.
If there's one of our customers who has a unlocked Modem I'm more then happy to run a test to see if we can find out.

Thanks for that info Matthew.
It does confirm how I 'thought' my connection would be classified.
Would it be too much trouble for you to run & post the results of a GEA test on my connection (if that's the one that includes bridged taps, crosstalk etc. in the list of tested items)?
I am aware that the user I have regular communications with regarding these matters has now been I touch with you.
Would you also be able to conduct a similar test on his connection & either post the (anonymous) results here or in a PM to him?
Both of us would be most happy for you to conduct further tests on our connections or for us to provide any info for you that might be useful for us to glean a better understanding of how G.INP works on our connections, particularly for identifying underlying issues that users can possibly deal with themselves and/or genuine line faults that would require an engineer's intervention.

Why isn't DLM more balanced, I can understand damping it in favour of protecting speeds but it seems way off that. It must be deliberately designed that way, perhaps in favour of BTO?
