Power Off & DLM

[#1]

In what way are you being personally attacked? You take criticism far too personally, which is not a good thing. I suggest you take a step back before you end up writing something you might regret.

[#2]

I take criticism fine - when it is justified. It''s misquotes, incorrect quotes, part quotes which are then twisted, and factually incorrect statements that I won't put up with. You just don't know when to let sleeping dogs lie do you.

I've just updated the firmware in my Billion router. That involved two router reboots in fairly quick succession. The result is no real change in connection speeds! Just thought I'd mention it!

No surprise to me. Perhaps it'll reassure those cowering behind their sofa that the Big Bad DLM Demon is not real  
Or maybe tomorrow morning your line will resync and you'll lose some speed

I'll let you know tomorrow then!

Quote from: AndyH

What people are probably referring to is the line being rate adaptive - rather than DLM intervening.

no
DLM can intervene at any time.
People have been seeing DLM changes during the day lately, but even without those events, DLM has always been able to act at any time when it determines the line is having severe instability.

Source or evidence?
I've posted mine - you're just talking hot air if you cannot corroborate what you're saying.

Up and down slightly faster -  <1 meg gain.
So, no change really then!

Well that was unexpected....

Quote from: Oldjim

Off topic - a bit - question Given that profiles are sent from the central management system (at whatever level) why on earth can a reset only be carried out by an engineer visit to the cab

From what I've seen a DLM reset is done via a laptop and a BT Openreach portal they log into. I had one done in January and the engineer was sat outside my home in his van.

[#11]

Yep, it's already been mentioned and noted

[#12]

If you have an unlocked modem and reboot it via its menus (eg Maintenance / Device / Reboot on an HG612) does DLM see that differently to a power-off / on?

[#13]

It's a reboot! What are you hoping to achieve by doing that?

[#14]

I want to resync to match actual sync speed to max achievable. Mine can vary by quite a lot; 20% or more on the upstream. I was advised to resync in my "come on DLM" thread.
Is there a way to do that without rebooting? I was hoping that a software reboot might be handled more gracefully between the modem and cab than a power off, so not seen as an unexpected loss of sync.

[#15]

by cutting the power, the modem might send a dying gasp message to the dslam to indicate its a power cut issue (although apparently this has no affect on DLM), but also the UAS and other stats will be zeroed.  A dslam might see a high UAS and other stats as a sign of instability.  A reboot would also serve to zero the stats but I Still recommend cutting the power and waiting 30+ mins before recconecting.
