Chances of Target Margin drop?

It's usually done within 24 hours. Re-booting would do no harm.

Hmmmmm, well its been over 24hrs now.

Rebooted several times with no changes.

I think I'd be tempted to seek confirmation that your margin has been reset,you don't want to mess things up by continually rebooting.

Multiple re-boots are a very big no-non, qweezy, they can be seen as instability and put you right back where you were.

qweezy · Apr 16, 2010, 19:08:40

Yeah, I understand that but the Margin hasnt dropped back at all.

You need to check with support, unfortunately.

Support have confirmed the 'unbundling'.

Not much has changed. My db for UP seems to have fallen to 6db, but DOWN has never moved from 15 or more.

Unbundling and noise margin are two separate things, qweezy. BT use Banded Profiles when a line has been unstable, effectively saying "This is the range of speeds your line will support." That's been removed, but your router has still negotiated a connection with a 15db noise margin. Either the line is noisy or the target NM has been set at 15db and not been lowered.
