How to Disable ADSL2+ tones

I have always had issues when using ADSL2+, so much so that I had to configure the modem to fallback to ADSL2, even though I am not that far away from the exchange (attenuation=28.5)

I have been monitoring the SNR on a number of tones that seem to do an awful lot of bitswapping and I tried this command to disable a few:

adsl connection --tones 0-281,283-337,339-509

As soon as I entered this command it dropped ADSL and resynced, but all the tones are still active (adsl info --Bits shows they are bitloading the tones 282 & 338).

The same command on a Billion 7800 does seem to disable those tones, so why doesn't it work on an 8800NL????

If I monitor tone 282, the graph shows very variable SNR for that tone - so I thought if I could turn that tone off?

Well upgrading firmware to 2.32d.dh65 at least fixed the issue with me not able to disable tones......
