Hi
My current modem is a ECI, but as I'm changing providers in 10 days I thought it might be worth trying a HG612 on my line.
Should the HG612 work as well with my line ? Will it cause me any issues with my current setup or the new connection from PlusNet ?
I'll be looking to get it fro eBay and unlocking it.
Thanks.

Should work with no problems

Thanks..
Thought it would be interesting to see what the stats are.

I had an ECI as well but I've been having issues with my line (started off at 53meg 3 months ago, now down to 32meg) so I decided to get a HG612 and unlock it so I can see the stats, using the latest firmware etc from the HG612 I've got a slightly higher sync than I had but with the added bonus of being able to see the stats.
|
|
|
The HG612 modems with the newer firmware seem to give better results, especially on longer lines. There also no need to match the modem make to the cabinet make, it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Thanks for the replies.. Just bought one from eBay so will be looking to set it up once I get it.
Only really looking to unlock it, give it an address on my network and that's about it for now.
Is it simply unlock and swap with the ECI modem or is there anything else I'll need to do. ? Any other config needed ?
Also I'm currently with BT if playing and swapping the modem messes up my line and connection speed, will all that be reset when I migrate to Plus Net on the 23rd ?
Thanks

Yes, just unlock and swap. If you want to check it's working before you do that, just swap. I advise you do in case it's dodgy. Remember you may need to do a factory reset.
Initially no other config changes needed. I haven't done, but some like to turn off QoS and TR069.
It won't mess anything up, so no-one can answer that!

STATS..
How does this look ? anything to be concerned about ?
Any way to find out what's in the cabinet ?
Thanks..

cheers - thought I'd have a look..
I was hoping to see if the line would support more for the future.
anyway I can find out what the max the line could support ?

The info is there - line 6 MAX Upstream and Downstream You have some headroom on upstream but downstream is maxed out on VDSL2 17A.
If Vectoring comes about you might get more, but no guarantees and if BT moved to a 30MHz bandwidth you might again get a little more.

Could you post approx how far away from the cabinet you are using the measuring tool on Google Maps or similar? Thanks

Approx 250 - 300 mtrs depending which route they ran the phone line..
Was there a specific reason to know ?

Any way to find out what's in the cabinet ? Certainly.

The ECI is 1 - 2 ms faster than the HG612.

Or, if you haven't an unlocked modem (I know he has), look at the cabinet  .

The statistics look fine, but the modem hadn't been connected for very long. That makes it hard to tell whether you suffer from many errors: just that you haven't for the 30 minutes.
DLM has not requested intervention (INP and "delay" are both zero, both downstream and upstream). Your modem isn't using any error correction or interleaving downstream, but it has elected to make use of error correction upstream (R=16, N=255) with interleaving off (I=0). Mine does this too, with similar settings; I suspect that it chooses to use a little of the spare bandwidth upstream: A max attainable of 26Mbps vs the top package speed of 20Mbps gives plenty of room for this minimal level of FEC (which is 6%, or around 1.2Mbps).
Your attenuation level is slightly lower than mine, suggesting that you have a slightly shorter line (mine is 16.4dB), but you get slightly lower speeds (mine is 80Mbps with a maximum attainable of 82Mbps). I guess you suffer from slightly more crosstalk than my line.
As for errors: you only had one in the 30 minutes, so is pretty low - especially if it keeps that up day-in and day-out.
My line achieves this:
ES: 47709 9520
SES: 663 0
UAS: 59 46
AS: 4942742
and
Total time = 1 days 11 hours 36 min 23 sec (This time is wrong)FEC: 0 149628
CRC: 472793 12191
ES: 47709 9520
SES: 663 0
UAS: 59 46
LOS: 1 0
LOF: 13 0
LOM: 2 0
That shows that my uptime is 4,942,742s (or 57.2 days). That means I'm running at about 8,000 CRC's per day (near 350 per hour), and about 800 ES's per day - without DLM intervention. I think it is mainly the ES and SES rates that DLM monitors.

As far as I know there have been no reboots !

This is how it's looking 24 hours in:
No problems there.
As far as I know there have been no reboots !
No resyncs, and no reboots.
If there were resyncs, you'd see that the "UAS" figure would increase, by the amount of time for a resync. If there were a reboot, all the times would go back to zero.
