Reply To: Moved: DSL-N16 Packet Loss Hi guys. I’ve been having packet loss issues on the upstream part of my FTTC (VDSL2) line, in the UK. I can test this by looking at the amount of…

[UK Sentinel]

This is where it becomes ethical (unfortunately)

BT SIN 498 (A OPENREACH Standard) R.VDSL2.7 requires that ‘The modem shall support Upstream Power Back Off (UPBO) as defined in G.993.2[3]’

If UPBO is disabled, then this can cause cross-talk on short lines which is not good for other users sharing your local exchange/DSLAM and if BT notice, you can be disconnected (in theory).

If you based outside the UK, then there is no such limitation as a lot of owners in Turkey etc. do this, but for UK, this is not allowed and UPBO needs to remain On, which intern means you cannot change SNR (upstream)

FYI – BT OPENREACH a while ago for certain ASUS DSL Modem/Routers, disabled the option on Broadcom DSLAM for G.inp as this caused them so many issues ?

If you are on the latest firmware and still are having issues, I would consider replacing your DSL-N16
