Is G.INP dependent a on modem firmware update? I think I recently had an update, and about the same time got G.INP on the line. Not concerned one way or the other, just curious.

In my experiance this weekend it seems that Yes!a firmware update is necessary to activate G.INP, As I mentioned above it seemed that G.INP had been activated at my cabinet and my modem was confusing G.INP for INP.

That mad my connection slower and raised the INP levels, As soon as I updated the modems firmware it all reduced back to normal and my speed increased also.

Many from my region (South East) are also reporting similar issues with their connections over at the Plusnet forums.

Guy from Openreach been and gone and confirmed the line is fine, he spent 20-30 mins testing it and found no issues,

"very good line", also remarked on the external covers and capping which I harassed Openreach for after first install.

He agree's that the line issues seemed to be the enabling of G.INP confusing the modem but said he wasn't aware of what was going on with G.INP as many will agree "they seem to be keeping quiet on the rollout dates"

So until next time (fingers crossed their isn't one) I'm happy with my connection.

OK.

Keep an eye on the snrm graphs, to make sure they stay reasonably level - that's the first place to look for stability.
