SNR act so strange today but there is something else...

Hi PN staff

 

I have notice my fibre SNR downstream went up and down all the time. So, my next action is checking the phone tone.

 

When I lift the headset off the phone I can hear buzz noise on and off, on and off continue ongoing. Before use to be a steady buzz on the line when lift the phone up. Do PN think it will affect my fibre downstream SNR kept changing every minutes from 5.9dB to 7.6dB and back to 5.9dB and went back to  7.6dB all the times continue could upset DLM? Or, I got nothing to worry about it.

I have upload video for PN staff to watch and listen to phone dial tone here: [URL=http://tinypic.com/r/211s6mg/9]View My Video[/URL]

I have enclosed copy of screenshot between 13:26 and 17:25

Re: SNR act so strange today but there is something else...

Mine was connected from the modem for 240 days no probem with fibre. I think SNR change between 5.9dB and 7.6dB are pretty normal for fibre connection. As for the phone dial tone my father say it sounds like engaged tone on my phone line ongoing. But he did try to ring my home phone number it still ringing out no engaged tone at all. Very strange.

Re: SNR act so strange today but there is something else...

Well well, I wish I never say a word about DLM. As it now happen Sad

DLM has changed my line due to crosstalk for the very first time since 2014.

Since my FTTC was first activated February 2014 with Maximum Attenuation Rate (dB) at 108092k has now dropped to 79400k for the first after DLM has changed my sync rate from 79999k to 78515k. As it appear the cabinet is now in crosstalk :( BT Bras IP Profile also dropped to 75.92 Mbps from 77.35 Mbps but my throughput speed also drop to 72 Meg from 75 Meg :(

I think DLM will now working it out for target SNR 3dB to get the line back up to 79999k as possible. (Finger crossed)

Re: SNR act so strange today but there is something else...

Shoddy bt equipment mate this day n age they should have fixes for this we are just a backwards country when it comes to Internet due to the old cables we still have around fibre to the cab what's wrong with them upgrading people's lines from the cab and it's not money as there's plenty of that bt just reluctant to do it as they think we should be happy with the poor copper aliminum lines they give us now that have been in place for God knows how many years

Line tests don't show any issues @goldenfibre, I'm not able to see that video for some reason but are you definitely sure that's not meaning you've got a voicemail waiting for you?

Re: SNR act so strange today but there is something else...

@adamwalker I have request online to get voicemail removed off. The phone tone is now back to normal, no engaged tone. But why is FTTC has dropped again as the Sync Rate drop to 77788 and Line Attainable Rate drop to 79920 but the Line Attenuation has gone up to 11.9dB from 11.3dB (why is more longer distance as the cabinet couldn't move itself?) and BT Bras IP Profile drop to 75.21 Mbps.
