Which GEA test is that, that you have access to please?

In reply to a post by RobertoS:

ASUI Openreach have not been providing upstream G.INP since the ECI modem problem was "fixed" by removing it. On all G.INP-enabled cabinets. That was months ago.

G.INP was reintroduced 2-3 months ago now, both upstream and downstream on Huawei cabs, as long as one's modem supports it. But with upstream, DLM does take it off if errors are very low and puts it back on to Fastpath. DLM will re-apply it if errors start to climb again.

Oh, right! I didn't know that, so thanks. My HG612 is giving this at the moment:-

System up time 95 days 3 hours 41 minutes 12 seconds, with a re-sync about three weeks ago it looks like.

That is consistent with how my new 7490 has been behaving over the last week since it was installed.

I'm wondering if this report may be something to do with it:
http://www.cerberusnetworks.co.uk/index.php/support-...

See the section on modem/router compatibility. I've asked AVM to confirm that the 7390 and 7490 are compatible and support the necessary reporting being required by BT, and that they are obtaining an approval.

I suspect unless Ofcom intervene (and why should they, their interest seems to be limited to the financial interests of the UK ISP industry), then we have to rely on the single market, well for at least as long as we're still a member of the EU. BT will do as they please as usual, irrespective of the law, if it saves them money on "wasted" maintenance. So AVM need to get worked up about this.

But sadly I think it makes it much less likely that a solution to the compatibility issue affecting the 7390 will be found. BT want to reduce the modems in use, not increase them. They have form, there.

Edited, sorry.The link works on my pc though.

This is the link http://www.cerberusnetworks.co.uk/index.php/support-... and in my opinion it is of no relevance
Look what is missing as an example
Home Hub
Billion which definitely supports it
