I think the later version has the later driver blob and the webgui one has VLAN 1.301 disabled.

I may give it a whirl sometime then , never know may see a slight improvement ,but i doubt it

Thanks everyone for the replies.

My Huawei modem isn't unlocked but I may go and do that now. Can I check what firmware it is on currently without it being unlocked?

My questions about G.INP were mainly if ISP's had access to turn it off, or if they have any access to tweak the connections on fibre like you could on ADSL. I hate the DLM on fibre as it has only caused problems for me in the past and taken months to restore my connection speeds after a line fault etc. It would be great if BT allowed ISPs more control to disable DLM and tweak settings manually but I don't think BT care about that.

My main problem is I've synced at 80mbps for over 2 years when I was with talktalk and zen and they day G.INP was enabled my connection went bad and I synced at 60mpbs and has never got better. My estimated line downspeed is around 60mbps for my line though so my ISP or BT don't care about the 20mbps loss since they say i shouldn't have been able to get 80mbps anyway.

So I'm wondering if there is anything to do to get the 20mbps back and was thinking since G.INP started all the problems getting rid of it would help.....but maybe using the newer unlocked firmware for my modem could help if it supports G.INP better?

IIRC that big drop is what happened to everyone with ECI modems on a Huawei cabinet. Originally G.INP was on both downstream and upstream, as tommy, BatBoy and I have been discussing. Then OR withdrew it completely for a short time while they semi-sorted the ECI mess.

They then reintroduced it on downstream only and some say the ECI also received a firmware upgrade sent out online. Maybe yours didn't get that and your line may have been banded. It's quite a fog-bound chain of events! (That's being polite). Or maybe the reintroduction was after you swapped over.

No you can't see a thing with the locked HG612. I haven't got the link for the unlocked software version I'm using at the moment, and Tommy's is the one before. I expect someone else will pop up with it soon - I have a very busy day tomorrow as not done my tax return yet!

Possibly the version in yours is already non-G.INP. The fact that the ECI screwed your line up doesn't men to say that a G.INP HG612 wouldn't fix it, but it's almost certain in my mind that a non-G.INP HG612 wouldn't.

So your problem might not be being unable to turn it off, but just a need to update to use it.

So your current state is "xdslcmd start --phyReXmt 0x01" - up off / down on

OK well finally got round to unlocking my modem.

My speed are currently the same but here are the stats:

I can't see how your connection ever delivered a sync of 80000. I can see it may be capped a bit by DLM but the max attainable rate seems a realistic target, even though you're currently syncing higher than that with SNR margin to spare.

It was though ...fast and stable for over 2 years with TalkTalk and Zen, here is my line stats from Zen members area:

Of course that ended in March 2015 when G.INP was added to my line/cab

I'm with Plusnet now and wondering if there is anything I can do restore my connection to its former glory?

Do you know when/how long before G.INP was added to your line, you last sync'ed?

You would reasonably expect crosstalk to appear after two years with your line syncing at a lower level (as originally estimated)

As such, I suspect the introduction of G.INP didn't cause your problems as such - the resync itself did.

Most report an increase in line speeds if its only down to the introduction of G.INP.

You may have to wait for vectoring to see if that improves things. An ISP cant control whether G.INP is applied to your line.

@gt94sss2

Well it never resynced from when it was first connected to zen in that screenshot, the next entry/resync was when G.INP was applied and i had a ECI modem on a huawei cab which of course caused all the problems with slower speeds and higher ping. About a week after i swapped my modem with a friends space huawei modem and my sync increased a little and my ping went back to normal but download speeds never went back to what they used to be.
