DLM for everyone?

[kimc]

Is sky implenting DLM on everyone? So far It's not happened to me

[NewsreadeR]

Allegedly, it will be rolled out to everyone as from October. No concrete tip off though yet, although the document we have been passed, clearly states October for the main implementation.

We all know Sky and their deadlines, so I wouldn't take it as proof that it will happen at that time.

Thanks Newsreader, I was hoping I'd escaped it......lol

Hi, I was just wondering if Sky are planning on running DLM on everyone's
connection from October, does anyone know if they are running a full
re-test ? ie Removing any existing speed caps and trying G.DMT mode as
well as ADSL2+ ? The last time DLM was run on my connection, it totally
messed up the settings as I was moved to ADSL2+ even though I didn't ask
for it !

Thanks
Alex

oh noooooooooooooooo please dont rerun dlm it was crapola the first time around it caused me and lots of users alot of problems
why are they gonna rerun this again if it caused so many probs for people the 1st time around ?

The first lot were run as a test, so it is possible they have ironed out the problems, but don't count on it.

I have no doubt that it will help a large number of users, especially those on G.DMT whose line can easily support a higher speed on ADSL2+.

In reference to the bit i have highlighted; i have sky max, and used to be on ADSL2+ and got the great speeds (15Mb) but for the last 5 months or so sky have put me on G.DMT and now i can only connect at 5Mb, which is stupid considering my line is fully capable of the max speed and im paying for the max service.

My question is: Will DLM sort this out and allow me to get the speeds i use to get, or can i call sky and ask them to put me back on ADSL2+?

Would really appreciate your help guys, im getting really p***** off with sky because of this!

Strange this has happened to you. I got the exact opposite situation !
I'm on Sky MAX also. Do you want to swap ?
If DLM runs like last time, it appears to favour ADSL2+ mode, so you may be
in luck. I'd recommend contacting Sky anyway as it sounds like you can run
ADSL2+ mode no problem.
I was running fine on G.DMT mode. Sometimes got up to 3.5Mb with a 3.8km
line and that was with a nearby interference source ! ( now removed ).
I was looking forward to 4Mb downsync speed, but Sky in their wisdom
decided to move me to ADSL2+ mode and cap my line to 2560 downsync !
Now most evenings and nighttime I loose sync for hours at a time as my
setup cannot support ADSL2+ reliably. I thought DLM was to make connections
more reliable, not screw them up totally ! I'm hoping Sky release updated
firmware for the v2 routers before running DLM again as the v2 Netgear is
TI AR7 based and doesn't appear to have the ADSL connection stability patch
that the V1 router got recently... If they run DLM like before, but only release
the updated firmware afterwards, I'll be up a certain creek without a form
of locomotion !! If this happens, I'll be wishing Feb 09 comes as soon
as possible so my 12 month contract is up and I can go back to Zen Internet.
They're not cheap, but at least they know what they're doing !
Sorry for the rant...
