DLM Reset on Activation?

gilbo2 — Mon, 22 Apr 2024 17:16:25 GMT

First off, I have no problems, just curious about how the DLM works with Sky FTTC.

I transferred from Plusnet to Sky (FTTC) today and expected a full DLM reset which would put the SNR margin back to 6dB, as this is what happened with Plusnet when any contract changes were made. However, I'm still (happily) sat at 3dB, so do Sky have a different DLM reset or is it simple not done anymore when changing ISP's?

@gilbo2

Its referring to as dlm training and usually bumps it up to 6db so that in 14 days it drops to 3db . Guess you're lucky

Post your hub stats if you wish

@cookiemonsteruk , guess I'm just lucky, but will see how the next 10 days go. I have a feeling nothing will happen, but we'll see 😉

The good news is everything is working fine, with little line noise, same as previous ISP. Not surprising though as nothing has changed to the cabinet itself.

Just treat it like any first connection don't be tempted to reset the hub in the next 10 days
