I don't know what the al1 profile means but I can assume it means fast path? So, then it's probably a glitch with the remote reporting the wrong setting to the modem then, as HiVolt mentioned earlier.

Actually, I assumed you were on IKNS remote, but you are on broadcom, which has no upstream snr or interleave bug as far as I know.

Martin, do you know why he syncs at 6015/797? Is this specific to thus type remote maybe? Profile clearly shows 6016/800 as you pasted it.

Actually, I just noticed, he's on the newer VDSL2 Alcatel remote...

"Equipment Type: 7330_REM"

And the profile is ADSL2, not ADSL1, and not ADSL2+. Perhaps some limitation with these remotes not supporting legacy ADSL1, and Bell is setting ADSL2 profiles?

Nah, I believe it's a simple configuration thing on the slam.

Checking my earlier DMT screenshots, when I was on the earlier 5mbit profile, I still had the weird 797k upstream. Profile was also ADSL 2. It's a profile Bell chose when they put the connection on a remote. One of the TSI reps on the direct forum said that this was normal.

Bell doesn't chose much... it's a config on the SLAM. Pretty sure if you had a ADSL modem only, it would say ADSL... it's like backward compatible.
