Abstract
In the present invention, an ADSL system (10) identifies good bin as a bin capable of successfully transmitting data to a destination. A bad bin is identified as a carrier that is not capable of successfully transmitting data to the destination. A marginal bin is identified as a carrier that may be capable of transmitting data to the destination. The power to a bad bin is reduced and allocated to the marginal or good bin(s) to allow an increased bit rate. In another embodiment, the power to marginal bin is reduced and allocated to the good bin(s).
