09:36:12, 07 Feb. ( 62.810000) CWMP: session closed due to error: No response

Another sign the HH4 is not too smart, CWMP attempts to connect to the ACS before the line is even connected up. Silly.

Yeah, but the HH might be checking if it has a connection first by trying to do a connection and when it fails it then knows its not connected LOL

It could check if PPP is up. If PPP is down there's a pretty good chance it is not connected.

Only plausible explanation is to account for situations where the Hub is being used as a wireless access point/switch, in which case it would have internet access without PPP. But it should wait 5 minutes or so to let DSL/PPP do its thing first, since it uses PPP up as an event trigger for CWMP and NTP anyway.

Good news (?) BT have agreed that a replacement HH5 is the way forward. Hopefully it will arrive in a few days.

Nice, lets see if that one is better

A 5A no doubt ... .

It's pot luck I think. We'll see.

Well if its a Type A, couldn't you use a crayon and scribble out the A and draw on a B

Paul

Tsk, Tsk! How untidy, scribbling on it.

He should do it the proper way - erase it with chip fat.

Well BatBoy might not have any tipex available, or have access to a laser etching machine

So I thought the next best thing would be a crayon.

Talking about new HomeHubs, we have been loosing connections all over the place and our noise margin went from a stable 6.00 dB to a 9.1 dB dropping our speed by a fair amount and dropping our upstream by half.

So as normal I phoned BT... 30 mins in a queue, was greeted by BT India, explained everything and asked for our line to be reset, he said ok and did some checks and replied that there is nothing wrong with our line, even though it has bad static and screeching noise as you can hear here on the Quiet Line Test, this is how bad it gets when the line goes bad now and then.

He replied and said that the HH4A has reported faults and that they will send me out a new one for free, so result I guess.

I wonder if I will get a HH4B

But that still doesn't resolve the crackling and static on our line.
