In an alternate universe. In this one that simply won't happen. Had your migration been the other way around FTTC -> cable it may well have done.

Regarding DLM. Your modem syncs at the highest rate it can that maintains the target noise margin which by default is 6dB. If high noise levels force a resync it will do the same again but at a lower rate because of the noise. If that happens several times the target noise margin will be increased to maintain stability. On FTTC you really aren't likely to see noise problems as the line is far shorter than most ADSL connections and you get a decent filtered faceplate installed by the Openreach bloke. Most of the problems with ADSL are caused by internal phone wiring and the faceplate pretty much eliminates those.
