Newbie considering moving to Sky.

Woo hoo, looks like DLM finally kicked in this morning

ADSL Link	Downstream	Upstream
Connection Speed	6142 kbps	798 kbps
Line Attenuation	24.5 dB	14.7 dB
Noise Margin	15.9 dB	18.3 dB

EDIT - For info, the WAN reset at 05:30.

Good to see. It might be nice to see daily updates as DLM has been revamped recently.

Remember that it will be a gradual increase over the next 3-10 days or so.

Yes started you on 4 and then onto 6 the only way is up my friend

I've gained quite a bit of info from this site so it would be rude for me not to put something back, however trivial.

I'll do some thread updates in case it helps other newbies.

Thanks again for all your help.

As promised, figures from day 2 of DLM.

Again the WAN reset at 05:30.

ADSL Link	Downstream	Upstream
Connection Speed	9215 kbps	945 kbps
Line Attenuation	24.5 dB	15.0 dB
Noise Margin	16.2 dB	15.4 dB

Looking good, with still loads of room for improvement.

As previously mentioned, there have been a few changes to DLM so it will be good to see if there is any change to the pattern of configuring a line.

Bit of a drop on the downstream noise margin this time...

You still have plenty left though! You should get a good speed :-)

This is perfectly normal. As the line speed increases, the Noise Margins will decrease. Sky used to have a fixed target of 7dB for the noise margin, but this has now been changed in some cases.

From my understanding there are still plenty of 7dB profiles, but the are additional profiles that use smaller noise margins.

As Adam has correctly stated, there is still room for a lot of improvement.

Morning.

Day 4 of DLM and no change today.

No WAN reset happened at the usual 05:30 today.

ADSL Link	Downstream	Upstream
Connection Speed	12286 kbps	945 kbps
Line Attenuation	24.5 dB	14.7 dB
Noise Margin	9.8 dB	15.3 dB

I'm hoping that's not the end of things...
