Probably no better or worse than those who've been using Drayteks on their FTTC service.

The underlying hardware and drivers aren't made by either party anyway, so the only thing a vendor can influence with compatibility is in screwing up (or preferably not) higher level firmware functions.

Though it would certainly be interesting to know how well the apparent 'mismatch' works.

The HG612 modem appears to work quite well on an ECI DSLAM.

ECI DSLAMs actually seem to provide more connection data than Huawei DSLAMS.

This can be seen in the stats graphs , such as upstream QLN,SNR & Hlog data etc.

Indeed Bald_Eagle1, they are supposed to work together.

ps been following you folks on kitz working on the ECI, impressive progress! Very well done!

Nice, thanks Bald_Eagle1, makes your excellent graphing tool even better

Incidentally, that's just what I expect your line to look like (i.e. about 800m)

I reckon it may well have looked a bit more like that when I was getting the higher speed, stable connections.

I'd be well pleased if it ever got to look like that particular connection after all these months.

That raises the question of compatability with the DSLAM.

I think we can expect no problem, but there may be a non-commercial reason for Openreach apparently installing the same manufacturer's kit in the cabinet and end-user premises

I get a little over 31Mb and I'm a mile from the cabinet using the standard OR Huawei. I did try connecting using my Fritz!Box 7390 and that only synced at a shade over 30Mb so I swapped back straight away, even before the session was established!

What progress? Is there a hack out?

I'm trying to find out my own line stats on the ECI. Any help would be greatly appreciated. First time in a decade I've been completely blocked from seeing my stats and it's very annoying.

Thanks, hopefully they make a breakthrough.
