Budget UK ISP TalkTalk<\/a> has confirmed that customers of their slower ADSL2+ based copper line broadband packages have been seeing faster speeds and improved service stability since they adopted a new system of Dynamic Line Management (DLM) from ASSIA (Adaptive Spectrum and Signal Alignment, Inc.).<\/p>\n

DLM systems are used to automatically control the performance and stability of related lines, which in practice means that a customer’s speed may go up or down depending upon how stable \/ error prone DLM thinks the line is. Different unbundled ADSL2+ providers, such as Vodafone<\/a> or Sky Broadband<\/a>, may have different approaches to DLM.<\/p>\n

Sadly the update from ASSIA doesn’t include any solid details or statistics to support the claimed improvements at the ISP itself and the language makes it sound like the roll-out of their DSL Expresse DLM<\/strong><\/a> platform at TalkTalk<\/a> is a new one, although it was actually unveiled all the way back in January 2017 (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

No doubt the “new<\/em>” DLM system has helped to improve TalkTalk<\/a>’s performance but there’s a lack of solid detail to confirm the level of change.<\/p>\n

Phil Haslam, Chief Network Officer at TalkTalk, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Since deploying ASSIA\u2019s DLM system onto our broadband ADSL<\/a> network, we have extended our capability with more granular data to drive diagnostics and automate continuous optimization processes to benefit the speed and reliability of our service for our end customers.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

David Raun, President & COO of ASSIA, added:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“TalkTalk is taking a data driven approach to methodically improve consumer experience which fits perfectly with the analytics and optimization capabilities of DSL<\/a> Expresse. Our equipment vendor agnostic solution allows TalkTalk to implement a consistent management approach across their network. This drives up TalkTalk\u2019s customer satisfaction and improves network efficiency.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

ASSIA added that the DSL<\/a> Expresse diagnostic features were also assisting TalkTalk in identifying and addressing issues due to physical line impairment and noise in customer premises, thereby improving operational efficiency.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The system only extends to ADSL<\/a> on TalkTalk because DLM on FTTC<\/a> (VDSL2<\/a>) lines is handled directly by Openreach<\/a>.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
