Poor connection after SVBN

[ricopico]

Hello,

I was recently changed over the SVBN and my line has drastically changed in speed. I did receive the letter informing me of the change, but thought nothing much of it - I certainly didnt realise I could opt out.

My line pior to the change was:
Connection Speed: 4832kbps : 800kpbs
Line Attenuation: 56db : 31.5db
Noise Margin: 2.4db : 11db

Clearly this is a very much tweaked line, I requested the line be totally uncapped about a year or so ago, I informed them I would manage the line myself (and to my supprise they did it). Screen cap before SVBN: http://i.imgur.com/Byz0p.png
You will see the line is stable with a WAN uptime of >400hours.

Anyway, 2 days ago, the line changed.
Now my stats are:
Connection Speed: 3072kbps : 800kpbs
Line Attenuation: 57db : 31.5db
Moise Margin: 11.8db : 11db

Clearly a big change in the line, specifically the line attenuation has changed

Now, I have not rebooted my router as im terified of the thought of the DLM screwing me further. I intend on calling sky at some point to attempt to get uncapped as before, but was wondering on how I can get back to half-LLU.

Im of the understanding that house alarm's dont work with SVBM?
If I were to say, tell sky im having a house alarm installed would they put me back on the old line? - Is there then a chance the that the old line could be worse? (different physical line from before?)

Thanks in advance.

Once DLM has finished you'll be able to get it uncapped again. And moving you back is a ballache so Sky won't do it. The rise in attenuation is down to there being a bit more cable in use between the BT gear (when the line comes into the exchange) and the Sky gear (that your line is now running on)

I take it you deliberately set your SNR low to get more speed out the line (at the risk of stability)?
