so I take no one really know how the BT openreach modem is sending the line sync speed to my sky router?? DOes any of the other FTTC ISP provided router show the lkine speed or ios it just sky?

First time I've seen it.

We need to see other Sky users, just to check that the numbers are not hard coded into the interface.

that has been checkes other people have reported differnt link sync, but not many, mainly due to the 40 meg cap, and when BTO was working on my line (due to fault) they snc speed dropped to 0 though it still maintained it was connected.

cheers

Your Sky Sagemcom F@ST2504n router is obtaining the line sync speed from a Sky server. The 2504n is not getting those line statistics from the Openreach VDSL2 CPE modem.

The firmware for the 2504n must be custom-built for Sky with additional networking at the TCP/IP layer to obtain those stats.

We know it isn't.

Does any of the other FTTC ISP provided router show the line speed or is it just sky?

You are the first to have posted any such stats.

How do "we" know that? Have we wiresharked the modem-router connection?

What you can do Cobra is buy from FleaBay or some other site a HG612 huawei Openreach modem, unlock the firmware and get your stats that way.
Should be quite a cheap way no more than £20 + shipping.

That raises the question of compatability with the DSLAM.

I think we can expect no problem, but there may be a non-commercial reason for Openreach apparently installing the same manufacturer's kit in the cabinet and end-user premises.

The OP has ECI so we can assume an ECI DSLAM.

Though it would certainly be interesting to know how well the apparent 'mismatch' works.
