Title: Heading towards panic stations
Post by: D-Dan on May 12, 2010, 22:03:40
My connection has been a rock solid 6000 Bras for the past 2 -3 months. In the past week I guess the BT profiler decided to have another look, because I had a jump to 7157 sync, then 7587, and now 8595. The first two jumps didn't affect my profile, but this last one jumped my profile to 7150. Why am I panicking?

Because although the first two managed to keep at around 6SNR, I'm currently looking at 2.5. When this has happened before it usually follows a week or two later that the whole damn thing crashes down and I finish having to climb back up from a 4000 profile again :(

Suppose I better make the most of it while it lasts.

Use Routerstats Lite to monitor your SNR and then disconnect the router when it's about 4dB

There is an official 3db target margin with ADSL2+, Steve, it may be that DLM is trying to get you the higher speed.

I thought there was but wasn't sure. So if your noise margin is fairly stable you should be ok.
