HG612 is worse?

Hi, like others I was using a ECI modem for ages without issues (My sync was always 40000 on a 40mb package). Then g.inp arrived and I lost some speed, again like other people. It went down to 35xxx iirc. So I bought a HG612 on eBay as this seemed to help others, but it seems worse to me, except pings which went down to 12ms although seemed to go up to 13ms just a few minutes ago. Now my sync is 31xxx although upload is almost perfect (9989 - I have 10mb upload max package on sky)

I flashed it with SP08 firmware following instructions etc. I can't post stats right now, have to go out for a few hours. Cheers for any help.

Is 20dB attn high? Maybe it's SNR, the 192.168.1.1 page says so anyway.

How long have you had the modem connected?

You might need to leave it connected for a few days so that DLM can change the line as required.

Since Friday the 10th April. Guess I'll play the waiting game, thanks anyway.

I've just noticed your on Sky, may I ask what router you use with your connection?

The SR101.

Have you thought about ringing Sky and requesting a newer hub (SR102) I read on Kitz the other day that this is G.INP compatible and also then you only have one piece of kit rather than two!

32400 downstream suggests you've been 'banded' by DLM, see this guide
