Not checked if there's any 'model/type' number on the cabinet

There isn't.

I know for sure which cabinet I'm on as it's just down the road and the ISP (iDNet) confirmed I'm on that one. Not checked if there's any 'model/type' number on the cabinet, but from the pictures it's definitely a Huawei 288.

Yes I can also confirm that this cabinet found here.. is a Broadcom based Huawei 288.. It's is the same cabinet that I'm connected to and seems to be one of the cabinets on BT's G.INP roll out.

I connect to this using a HG612, Unfortubatly I'm yet to confirm whether lines with Lantiq chipsets connected are actually being assigned G.INP profiles yet or if they are yet compatible with G.INP...

I'm waiting for my neighbour to give me his new admin password for his HH5 and will see how his connection is fairing and if theirs anything that will indicate G.INP activity. (HH5 is also a Lantiq chipset AFAIK)

My understanding of it, is that it should be OK with the HG612, the ECI modems *may* need a DLM reset to trigger the firmware upgrade.

Out of interest, would an ECI modem provided on 27th February by OR need an update?

On the 20th of March my connection reset and went from 20/80 to 20/74. I am wondering if the ECI modem has gone into interleaved mode.

Will I need to ask Zen to see if they can get the DLM reset.

If not done by the installer at time of provision, then yes it would need one.

So what's the score with a Type A BT Homehub 5? Is this all ready to support G.INP or do BT retail need to push a update to enable?

As others have said, had a drop in speed last few days - and we have a Huwaei cab outside the house.

I *believe* that the Hub5 should be OK, no DLM reset required.

It's passed Openreach's conformity testing so it should support retransmission.

I believe the router automatically updates itself - not sure if it's pushed or if it periodically checks itself.

I could try unlocking the Huawei that BT supplied, but the way I've got everything set up, it's easier for me to plug the Draytek straight into the main socket and take it from there.

It would be useful to know

have you asked Draytek about G.INP support on your device?

From what I remember he simply took it out of the box and fitted it, there was no connection made to it apart from the cable to the data extension kit socket.

I will ask Zen if they can do something about it.
