I actually had my line distance confirmed a while back, but he couldn't access the data to tell him what the cables were. I'm 450 meters from the cab and only get around 42/10 at the moment, sometimes more sometimes less, depends how hard interleaving hits me.

Good point.

I really know nothing about vectoring other than the noise-cancelling headphones analogy.

If it requires a complete overhaul of each cabinet then I think it would take forever, but if it was primarily software-based then it would be much quicker!

From what I remember the Huawei cabs already support it, but the eci need some cards changing, and guess what I'm on an eci.

More likely it hardware of each cabinets roll out.

Didn't know of this. Glad my cabinet is Huawei 288

Now that's unlucky...

Still I doubt OR would roll out vectoring until they can do ECI and Huawei at the same time.

Does anyone know why they went with dual manufacturers? Surely things would be much simpler with just the one!

Only way is get leased line if you win the lotto!

I thought ECI cabs required a DSLAM changed to a V41 due to the complications imposed by card level vectoring on the M41 DSLAM. That's assuming I've understood the ECI vectoring blog on their website.
