If the figures from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>&#8217;s earlier tests pan out then an average rate gain of +10-17% seems plausible, although those on less stable lines may not see much of a benefit.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> has just updated their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.btplc.com\/sinet\/SINs\/pdf\/498v7p2a.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">SIN498<\/a> document to confirm that the new change will be introduced from <strong>March 2017<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">1.2.2 VDSL2 noise margins<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Currently the default target downstream noise margin is set to 6dB. From March 2017 the target downstream noise margin shall be set to either 3, 4, 5 or 6dB \u2013 the actual value shall be determined by the Dynamic Line Management (DLM) algorithm based on line stability.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Expected Outcome <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The downstream rates recorded with the 3dB target noise margins should be significantly higher than those recorded with the 6dB target margins. There should not be any significant difference in reported rates between the high and low retransmission profiles.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We should say that the 3dB profile is already supported on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/bskyb\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Sky Broadband<\/a>&#8217;s unbundled network and other similar platforms have also either implemented or experimented with it. Naturally you&#8217;ll need a router that supports the 3dB profile too, but generally most VDSL2 equipped hardware is already capable of this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 17th March 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I couldn&#8217;t see any point in writing a whole new article on this because not much has changed, but since people keep asking then here&#8217;s what we know.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> has confirmed to ISPreview.co.uk that the roll-out is still due to commence this month as planned (phased roll-out) and some updated performance data from their extended trial is due to be shared with ISPs over the next couple of weeks.<\/p>\n<p>We also asked whether <strong>ECI<\/strong> based VDSL2 DSLAMS (Street Cabinets) would continue to be excluded from the roll-out (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2017\/02\/bt-update-uk-fttp-sogea-3db-21cn-wbc-broadband-plans.html\">as first reported here<\/a>) and they confirmed that the enhancement will only be applied to <strong>Huawei<\/strong> based DSLAMS. ECI kit has become notorious for causing problems with various VDSL2 enhancements and changes.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, not everybody will benefit from the new SNR profiles and Openreach&#8217;s DLM technology won&#8217;t apply the lower margin(s) unless your line is deemed likely to benefit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 18th March 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A little more detail has come in so I figured we&#8217;d add it. Initially Openreach expect to add the new feature to <strong>680,000 Huawei lines<\/strong> between 20th to 31st March 2017 and around 96,000 of those are likely to see a direct benefit as the DLM system will apply a sub-6dB profile (any rate capped and performance managed lines should expect to be excluded).<\/p>\n<p>At this point we understand that Openreach may pause the deployment to assess the initial roll-out and then continue it towards completion by <strong>September 2017<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Customers using one of Openreach&#8217;s (BT) &#8216;up to&#8217; 40-80Mbps capable Fibre-to-the-Cabinet (FTTC \/ VDSL2) broadband lines might benefit from a free speed boost next year when the operator adopts a new default target downstream noise margin of 3dB.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[474,55,69],"class_list":["post-12898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-bt","tag-fttc","tag-bt-openreach"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
