With TalkTalk Wholesale ADSL circuits we (and customers) have full control over the line profile. By default we disable DLM, and are able to set the profile manually.

On the control pages for the Line we have the profiles selection:

[[File:Tt-profile-list.png|none|frame|Profile options on the Control Pages]]

To change the profile, select the one you like, and then press Profile to make the change. It will just take a few seconds to apply, and the line will resync.

==Annex M line profiles==

AnnexM profiles are available to customers with the 'Premium' option on their service.

Annex M line profiles are of the form:

==SNR==

SNR is a measure of signal strength and as such is measured in Decibels (dB). The values in use on the ~~TTT~~ network are:

SNR is a measure of signal strength and as such is measured in Decibels (dB). The values in use on the TTW network are:

*6 dB

*15 dB

==3dB==

3 dB should be available by 2014. Customers could try configuring their modem to force a 3 dB profile, but this is not officially supported. (e.g. a Billion 7800DXL does this)

3 dB is now supported! As of November 2015 customers can request a 3 dB profile. The process is a little long winded, but once a Support staff member picks up the task 3 dB can be applied within a few minutes. Do contact us.

==Interleaving, Error Correction and Delay==

Packets of data that are transferred across a DSL line are split ~~down~~ into smaller blocks of data; these are then sent sequentially sent across the DSL line. As they arrive at the receiving end, they ~~reconstructed~~ ~~back~~ into the original larger packets of data.

Packets of data that are transferred across a DSL line are split into smaller blocks of data; these are then sent sequentially sent across the DSL line. As they arrive at the receiving end, they are recombined into the original larger packets of data.

If one block of a larger packet is lost due to line interference, the packet can be recreated using the remaining blocks that were received; data blocks reserve some space for data which can salvage a partially damaged block. This is known as ~~Error~~ ~~Correction~~. Interleaving can be used as a form more robust form of error correction.
