It'll either remove itself which can take months or a DLM reset will remove it.
Draytek Vigor 130 and FTTC SNR setting increased sync

I will see what happens over the next few weeks

Has anyone moved from the HG612-3B to the 130 and seen any significant increase in line stats? I'm not having any issues at the moment and the router seems really stable so just curious more than anything.
I doubt it.

Out of the box I lost about 10Mbps downstream sync when switching from the HG612 to the Vigor 130. I had to tweak the SNR on the 130 to get it back.
Had the HG612 not died I would have stuck with it.
I you using latest firmware on the Vigor, I mention as the Draytek often change/improve their modem codes.

All good reasons for me not to pay £80 for one then
The HG612 seems to be down to £15 from certain outlets which seems like a total bargain.

Yep, firmware has been up to date since day 1.

I switched from an ECI openreach modem to the vigor 130, I've had no speed change at all so far.
It's not a magic bullet, especially if you were getting near your maximum profile speed already, also consider how long it will take dlm to increase your speeds if you've actually managed to improve things.
I'm using TP Link VR900 V2 router with these line stats, would I see any increase if I use the Vigor 130 modem?
Code:
Downstream sync speed:
57.159 Mbps
Upstream sync speed:
20 Mbps
Maximum data rate:
68224 / 21904
Noise margin:
6.3 up / 6.4 down
Line attenuation:
21.5 up / 11.2 down

Does this command need to be re-input in the event of a modem reboot?

Not that I'm aware of.
For the purposes of an update, my modem is still sync'd at 67000, compared to the 50 something it was before. It appears I'm banded by Plusnet/DLM, but it's been rock solid since the OP.

No, it'll survive reboots and firmware upgrades as long as you don't use the .rst file when updating the firmware. Make sure to use the .all version.

Thanks folks! Had good results with this, so much appreciated.
Annoyingly my SNR has gone to 4 and my line has dropped to 59Mbit from the 67Mbit. It looks banded (again) looking at the stats.

Yours looks similar to mine, where the upstream is the same as the max attainable rate. Is that the limiting factor?
strange these stats shouldn't suggest a unstable line which would end up resulting in a banded line.

It's been rock solid for ages so I don't understand why it's dropped. I'm not sure if it's worth the effort of speaking to PlusNet about it as I'm certain a DLM reset will sort it, but whether I can convince them to arrange an engineer is another story.
