That could explain a lot, thanks.

In case you missed my ninja edit,the experimental ones are perfectly ok to use if you want to keep the gui.

OK, thanks, I have now updated and version is showing as 24g. It hasn't benefited me, both my sync speed and attainable have gone down a bit, but at least the stats program now says that I have had the October 2013 update.

There's been a slight drop in your ping so either your routing has changed or interleaving has dropped very slightly. You have a good speed for your distance, the newer firmware seems to improve lower performing connections, it seems a bit more forgiving. I'm the same distance as you but currently getting 46/9 on fast path which it changed back to a few days ago.

My modem, which I've not bothered blocking auto updates on, is showing the firmware version as A2pv6C038m.d24j.

I think this was updated on the 3rd April because the resync log in the Current_Stats directory has Retrain Reason: 1

The update was rolled out in October, so if you've had fttc for any length of time the chances are it was updated long before now.

Yes, I noticed the slight drop but I think that's just normal variation between gateways. Actually the sync in my sig is a little out of date, it's been at 65k for the last month or so since interleaving was put back, I go through phases of no interleaving and 10ms pings then interleaving with 20 ms pings. It doesn't affect normal usage at all. My attainable has been showing anything up to 78k recently so I'm reasonably hopeful there's room for a bit more when vectoring is finally rolled out.

The correctly updated firmware version will report these in the xdslcmd info --stats data when run from a Telnet session:-


Bearer: 0, Upstream rate = 4742 Kbps, Downstream rate = 19403 Kbps

Last initialization procedure status: 0

TPS-TC: PTM Mode(0x0)


If Path is used instead of Bearer, Last initialization procedure status is absent & PTM Mode does not include (0x0), then the modem's firmware is at best only partially updated (probably by doing it via the GUI rather than following Asbokid's original instructions to the letter).


This is my updated firmware version:-

xdslcmd --version
xdslcmd version 1.0
DSL PHY: AnnexA version - A2pv6C038m.d24j
******* Pass *********


EDIT:

It seems that I replied before realising you now have the correctly updated firmware version that is reported as updated via the stats program.

I haven't deleted it though as it MIGHT be useful information for other users.

Yes, thanks, the xdslcmd info also confirms that it has updated OK.
