My spectrum is quite different from that 17a spectrum in the first post. Chorus must have changed the 17a frequency allocation. There's some odd things about mine: the gap around carrier 1024 which is usually the first upstream band but for me is completely unused, and there seems to be another unused section around carrier 1792. For Napster that was part of the 2nd downstream band. His 1st downsteam band was slightly wider as well. It looks to me like there might be as much as 40Mbps worth of bandwidth that is still not in use, not including the extra upstream capacity that could be used in the existing upstream bands. I'm not sure my connection could manage the 100/50Mbps of fibre but I think it could get pretty close if Chorus would allow it.
So anyone else been put on 17a?

Are you still on this profile? I wonder if we could get anyone from Snap or Chorus to confirm that they are putting people on 17a profile now as I am pretty sure nobody else was getting there automatically only testers that got manually put on it as far as I could see.

Yes. My error rate on 17a has been much better than I was seeing on 8b so I switched back to max performance last night and the Fritz reconnected on 17a. My sync rate is now 61624 and I'm getting about 0.28 CRC/min.
My understanding was that Chorus had stopped putting people on 17a manually and it didn't seem to be happening via DLM. I suspect that they've changed the 17a profile (as my spectrum is quite different from the previous 17a spectrum on this thread) and have set DLM or another system to move people onto it automatically. For me the change happened at about 5:33am on Saturday morning so it seems unlikely to have been a manual change. Hopefully some other people will switched over and it won't turn out to be some sort of mistake.

I have mine set not to sync every night so I was connected for 6 weeks and tonight tried a manual resync. Stayed on DLM1. My stats are pretty close to yours so hoping it will get a profile upgrade.
