Does the leaving it off for half hour minimum still apply to avoiding DLM issues?

Cruising through our nearby town (also well served by Virgin Media) recently, I was almost stunned by the number of FTTC Cabinets. In one road alone, more than in our entire village, and all within my distance to my cabinet. In town, more than 200 metres seemed unlikely, out here, I'm 800 metres away, and I'm not the furthest out, by a distance. We are extremely lucky to have VDSL2 broadband out here, so I can't complain, and BTO have to supply expensive equipment and try to make a profit. The cabinets can't be cheap and so longer runs help the economics I suspect.
That said, I hope that BTO are actively looking at means to improve the rural distribution in areas where they have no other competition.

I'm not expecting any issues when I turn the mains back on but thought I'd better check. I'm just going to flick the main box switch off and on when done, like a power cut.
Just checked with a roll and the join drops right through the socket centre so it will definately be over half an hour at the speed I get sheets up. I'm not clever enough to cut round the socket plus I need to shift the old paper from behind it anyway. Far neater I think

Hopefully from about lunchtime Sunday when power was restored my connection is rock solid again.

I've quoted the information before and the recent changes. This came directly from OR presentations to ISPs.
I am not sure which empirical evidence you're referring to because the original FTTC trials were some 5 years ago and used a different DLM parameters.

Quote That contradicts the advice given from OR and the recent changes they made to the DLM for MTBR.
You may have a point: as you suggest: we should care if the advice OR give is different to what you're saying.
However, remember that your posts are seen only in the context of the thread.
As well as not knowing what the contradicted OR advice was, I still don't know which of the previous posts you are claiming contradicts that advice.
A little more care in posting could make the posts much more useful.

Especially as alex05 had asked, and now sjptd, but as you haven't
1) quoted whatever advice they were giving and even tried to back it up with documentary evidence
2) quoted any other information that would demonstrate that DLM doesn't take other factors into account besides the MTBR before acting -
then I can only conclude that you are in no position to criticise my precautionary advice.
Are you intimately familiar with the algoriths used by the Fibre DLM - no you aren't because BT don't make all the information public - and neither am I before youi try and twist what I've said, that is why the advice is always Precautionary.

We would care about the advice OR has given if we knew what it is. I am, for one, interested, but you seem to be unable to bring yourself to quote OR or to link to the original source (or your previous quote). How cool is that!
Here is the quote from Plusnet rep on this thread:
Quote from: Matthew Generally speaking one power off shouldn't cause a issue.
If it was being turned on and off repeatedly that may trigger something.
Is that the OR advice or Plusnet don't know it either?

Other makes of modem may behave differently.
