If you are interested in full G.INP support, it's probably best to get a version 3B HG612 with the white PSU from a well known auction site (don't pay much more than around £25), then install the unlocked B030SP08 firmware.

I would only do this if the OP knows their cabinet is Huawei. If the cabinet is ECI then its likely not yet G.INP enabled.

I only got the BTOR's ECI modem working with a separate Plusnet's TG-582n Router! As I only been made aware today that there are separate BT's ECI and Hawaii only cabinets, but not mixed and matched inside the cabinet, may exist. Does it imply that I am currently connected to a BTOR ECI cabinet, and consequently buying another Hawaii modem for myself may be just a waste of time and money??
Thanks

There are no guarantees, unless you can find out your cabinet number from the BT wholesale checker and take a photo of the cabinet and others here can confirm.

No.

You need to put your phone number into the normal BT Wholesale checker and the line above the estimates table will tell you your phone cabinet number.

Then go and find it. The estimated FTTC speeds will give us some idea of its distance from you.

Near to it will be the FTTC cabinet. Compare how that looks with the three on this page. (The two 128s should say 96).

Would ECI Modem/chipset interworking OK with Hauwaii chipset in BTOR linecards in their FTTC cabinets without problems? Secondary would G.INP a added feature of Hauwaii Chipset only, not for ECI??
I'm still a bit confusing with that as I thought G.INP is part of the upgraded "Internation Standards" and as such should be supprted by both "upgraded" design versions of both ECI and Hauwaii chipsets. But again this G.INP feature could be chipset design versions dependent???

In reply to a post by tommy45:
The B030SP06 version that i use also works with G.inp

Just curious as to why you haven't updated to SP08?

There have been a number of firmware/software improvements since SP06 that you might not be able to take advantage of. e.g. extra DS bitloading tones available (if your connection is capable of using them)

What's the output from xdslcmd info --pbParams with SP06?

It is included within every snapshot Plink log.

This is mine (SP08):-

I'm 1100m or so from the cabinet, which means attenuation is too high & SNR is too weak to use the higher frequency tones as can be seen from the Medley Phase band plan:-
