I find that rather disconcerting. Are ECI cabs still being installed?

The pattern I seem to have observed is..

early rollout huawei
mid rollout mostly eci
then first public vectoring announcement
back to huawei again

I've noticed that to, I saw a new cab in a village near to us and that is a Huawei, can't say I can remember any ECI's going in recently

ispreview asked BT on the subject, silence.
plusnet have said still Huawei only.
BT engineer who has access to intranet also confirmed Huawei only.

From openreach point of view they could quite easily enable vectoring on Huawei cabinets, leave it off on ECI and still market both as the same product. We already know BT is thick skinned if they did pull of such a stunt I think they wouldnt even flinch at the backlash.

I can see that happening, and I shall be one of the first to complain, but like you say we'll get nowhere.

agreed, some people have told me I am been paranoid, but it makes little business sense for BT to rip out M41's they have only just purchased, not only they would be ditching new kit, is also the manpower, which commercially doesnt give them much gains. The lack of ECI public trials isnt giving any hope either.

They should of used V41s, which also supports pair bonding.

They "should" do a lot of things, alas, they do not.
I'll take their old ECI's for scrap.... now I wonder could I strap one to a telegraph pole? FTTdp?

In reply to a post by R0NSKI:

agreed but when are they forward thinking?

How much more expensive are you talking?
