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.
 
==How long does a profile change take?==
Not long! The profile change is set through to TalkTalk Wholesale as soon as you click the button on the control page, and the line will resync within a minute. If the profile change failed, then the log will say failed, it it was successful then it will say Done:

*We have a table of all the available profiles, [[TalkTalk Wholesale Line Profiles List|See here]]
 
**Where there are two, the first indicates downstream and the second indicates upstream.
**The lower the number the greater the achievable line rate, the higher the number the higher the number then the lower the achievable line rate.
**Note: Some fixed profiles omit the SNR property from their name, where this is the case their target margin is 6dB6 dB.
*DDD indicates the maximum download speed.
*UUU indicates the maximum upload speed.
 
==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:
MXYYY_SNR_DDD_UUU:MInpN
==SNR==
 
SNR is a measure of signal strength and as such is measured in Decibels (dB). The values in use on the TTTTTW network are:
*6 dB
*6dB
*9 dB
*9dB
*12 dB
*12dB
*15 dB
*15dB
 
==3dB==
 
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.
3dB should be available by 2014. Customers could try configuring their modem to force a 3dB profile, but this is not officially supported.
 
==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 reconstructedare backrecombined 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''error Correctioncorrection''. Interleaving can be used as a form more robust form of error correction.
 
The ‘Delay’‘delay’ of the Interleavinginterleaving is simply a measurement of the size of the interleaving buffers. The size is measured in milliseconds (ms).
Milliseconds (ms).
 
The buffer sizes available on the TalkTalk network are:
*Off (Fastfast)
*8ms
*16ms
