Yes but waiting for 3-5 weeks!

Here is mine over 24 hours test:

HG612 8800NL-038
ES/hour 0.69 1.12
CRC/day ~67 ~227
SES/day 0 3

Maximum data rate: 35211 / 100874 on HG612
Maximum data rate: 37665 / 103336 on Billion 8800NL-038

Billion 8800NL gain 3Mbps extra on the maximum data rate than HG612 BT Openreach Modem.

How does the error rate compare? That's as important - if you increase sync speed, but increase the error rate too, you'll soon get DLM interested...

adslmax is very lucky to have such a good connection (even if he's sometimes not happy about it )

I would be interested if anyone is using it on a long(ish) FTTC line.
I'm only getting 23Mbs atm on a 680m line using the OR ECI modem (started off around 30).

Guess I'm just unlucky...

My first line was about 650m long. Property was built in 95, with almost all the run back to the (pre-existing) cabinet being guaranteed to be new - so we can be pretty sure there was no aluminium in the route, and most (if not all) was likely to be 0.5mm copper.

In the days when FTTC used the 8c profile, with 40/10 packages tops, it managed 37/10 with DLM in place from day 3.

When they switched to the 17a profile, but before 80/20 packages were allowed, it then managed 40/10 without need of DLM, and reported a maximum attainable of 61/16.

We left that place before 80/20 packages became available, so I have no idea what it would have achieved out of the attainable value.
