I donno where this myth that the ECI rev /r modem has significantly lower latency connection comes from. On my local ECI cab the difference in my test on my current fast path line, It's less than 1ms every so slightly in favor of the ECI about .3-.4ms on average.This is the case as long as you disable the firewall and QOS on the HG612.
However the band plan is slightly different. the ECI tends to have a bit loading in favor of upstream, the HG612 with bp30sp08 in favor of Downstream, I've found that I get lower error rates with the HG612 too. I've been more prone to getting interleaving switched back on with the ECI!!!
