In reply to a post by IranianGiraffe:

Hi again,

You are also running old firmware for the modem as the bands have changed from what yours is using.

I have A2pv6C035m.d22g from Oct 2013 which is the latest unlocked blob I can find on Kitz?

If there is another later one I assume RONSKI would know?

A2pv6C038m.d24j is the latest one. it's on Kitz site but I'm sure it's listed as 035m on it.

038m though is deffo the latest one as I have it (unlocked and no bt agent etc)

I take it you got your firmware from here before

http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php?topic=13130.0 (near bottom of page is the link)

It says 035m in it but apparently that's a typo apparently (I know for sure if you go to the one in the experimental folder that for sure is 038m as that's the one and my 3 friends are using and it works perfect).

When you upgrade the firmware you have to do it exactly how you did it to unlock it in the first place, if you just select the update firmware from the unlocked modems pages then it doesn't work, although it looks like it does until you look at the actual firmware and realise it's still on the old one (took me 2 goes before I realised that)

So, just to confirm, you are saying to use this one from the Experimental folder?

bcm96368MVWG_fs_kernel_HG612V100R001C01B030SP06_unlockedgui-nobtagent

TIA

Just checked and yes that's the one I'm using, like I said though make sure you update it by using the same instructions as you did to unlock it and then select that firmware, otherwise the firmware doesn't seem to update.

Hi Tony,

I'm using the same firmware as Iranian Giraffe and it does work well.

Thanks
Tim

Thanks both for the confirmation! I'll unlock a second HG612 I have and use that for now.

Sometime tomorrow hopefully at the moment. Also gives me a chance to reroute some of the wiring around near the modem.

Did you know the Hurst exchange is slated for native FTTP? Not available yet but hopefully it will come to at least some cabs. You can start saving towards the install costs now (although you are close to max for FTTC already I believe)

Okay well the other modem is flashed and now showing version d24..

I'll put it on this afternoon and also find the other data. Matter of interest, what are the band changes then?

Thanks

Okay. I did a bit of a wiring tidy up and swapped the modems over at 14:35 so using the latest firmware now. Hasn't made much difference to the line rate though the upload is a bit higher. There is though a major change in the Bitswap graph shape in current stats (last graph) and as I write this the ES count is rising rapidly but not sure why - ah a large burst of interference!

You asked for some stats. I don't have timed bitloading graphs back in time except
for a few in April - HERE is one.

Some other data at that time:

01/04
Profile ~50Mbps

Max:    Upstream rate = 10043 Kbps, Downstream rate = 59080 Kbps

Then data from 19-06-2014 and the same as it was for 40+ days before

Twice today I've had crackling noises on the phone for short periods but nothing noticeable on the graphs at the time.

I'd like to get my profile reset to see if it gets back to what it was, even if only temporarily if there is a fault. I had it done on ADSL a couple of times by Zen after the DLM reacted to local interference from a duff switched mode PSU on a monitor. Not sure if it's that easy with plusnet / VDSL2?

Edit: there's also:

This is really for RONSKI but does anyone know if the Summary Stats tab screen on the HG612 Modem Stats GUI is available as an accessible image somehow? It appears to be an internal mage and would be useful to have available remotely - which I am currently trying to do with the rest of the graphs....

Thanks
