Fibre Stats

[link to this post]

Anyone else here find it ridiculous that the openreach modem is so locked down that even basic stats such as the SNR are unavailable without a firmware hack?

Rant over but I needed a little vent.

What's even more rediculous is when you call BT Technical Support (if you're a BT Retail customer that is) they don't have access from their end, either!

Just unlock it, it takes 2 minutes and does not affect anything.

Those of us who lived through 2000 and 2001 had the same.

Some people even had a 3 box solution, and the modem lead was hard wired into the wall socket.

My modem lead is *still* hardwired to the socket - I did it myself to stop people unplugging it tongue

& once it's unlocked, you can graph the stats:-

This is what the scripts do:-

It literally takes just a few minutes to set up the scripts.

They don't need to go for the modem, as they can get the info from the DSLAM.
