Hi there,
For a long while now I've had an intermittent HR fault on the E side of my line which results in an occasional noisy line but didn't affect FTTC. Normally I could sync for 100's of days continuously without an issue. At the start of March by SNR margin was even dropped to 4db and it has been fine for a few weeks.
On Saturday the voice service went completely dead for 10 mins and then come back - the FTTC service resynced and came back with a 5db downstream margin. I assume as a DLM response to the outage.
Since Saturday though I've had a couple more resyncs and now G.INP has been applied on the upstream which is worrying. Weirdly I can't hear any audible noise any more but from looking at the stats below something is definitely going on.
Please can you guys take a look at my line as I can't figure out what is likely to be going wrong here.

Just for info it's resynced again this morning with thousands of FEC's on the upstream - there must be a fault on this line surely ?

Considering that the vast majority of the VDSL2 upstream frequencies are well away from the voice range, having G.INP on the upstream shouldn't really be any different to having G.INP on the downstream? As in, it doesn't necessarily imply that your line must have some terrible fault. Considering the upstream SNRM is fairly high due to the line achieving the maximum rate with plenty to spare, you'd perhaps expect the error rate to be lower, which I'm guessing it is now that both up and down have G.INP.
Thousands of FECs is a negligible number.

Thanks. Just checked again and it appears that the resync was to reduce the downstream SNR margin back to 4db.
I think you're right. It looks like DLM is trying stuff out on my line to decide what is best. The reason I suspected it was a fault is previously I've had 150+ days of continuous sync. Like I say maybe I'm just going through a period where DLM is doing it's stuff.
