A timed BASH script running 5 parallel wgets on the TTB 20MB.zip test file. Dump the result to a file, and graph it. Crontab job runs it once every hour, and it has a random sleep interval (in minutes) at the start so that, for the hour being covered, it will actually run the speed test at some random point during that hour to avoid regularity of the tests.

The graph colouring and lines are a result of me getting bored on a rainy weekend. I implemented +/- 3 sigma standard deviation lines and varied the shading of the bars depending on where each speed test result falls (dark for slow speed, way out side the 3 standard deviations from the mean, light for fast speed, way out side 3 standard deviations from the mean in the other direction). The dark lines basically indicate extremely/rare unusual results for the time periods each graph covers (1 day, week, month and year).

The BRAS and SYNC rate are hard coded from my latest entry in the Zen portal but if I can work out how to get that from the Huawei modem, I'll automate that too!

That's basically it.

Oh ok, so you haven't automated the HTML5 widget. I just use JDAST

The sync speed is available from the modem. The BRAS is just 96.69% of it.

Looks like that's Windows only. I appear to have moved on from that malarky over the past 5 years or so.

I make that 96.79%, from the average of the stats recorded in my Zen portal (for my line, at least). So that's what I've gone with.

Graphs updated. Wrote a little Python script using the telnetlib module which telnets in and pulls all the required numbers out of the modem. Hence the new addition of the upstream sync line.

Although in the past the IP Profile has been 96.79% of sync, the indications so far are that it is 96.69% on G.INP-enabled lines.

AIUI 0.01Mbps or 0.1Mbps is reserved by the system for Bearer 1.

Discovery Phase (Initial) Band Plan
US: (7,32) (871,1205) (1972,2782)
DS: (33,859) (1216,1961) (2793,3959)

It's a Huawei

In reference to forums.thinkbroadband.com/fibre/t/4257930-re-huawei-hg612-working-a...:

Yep.

This confirms it's an ECI DSLAM:-

Discovery Phase (Initial) Band Plan
US: (0,95) (880,1195) (1984,2771)
DS: (32,859) (1216,1959) (2792,4083)




This is the band plan for a Huawei DSLAM:-

Discovery Phase (Initial) Band Plan
US: (0,95) (868,1207) (1972,2783)
DS: (32,859) (1216,1963) (2792,3959)

It seems there are now 'different' versions of Huawei DSLAMS in active service.


This is mine (connected in 2011):-

US: (7,32) (871,1205) (1972,2782)
DS: (33,859) (1216,1961) (2793,3970)


The telnet command xdslcmd info --vendor will also confirm the DSLAM details:-


xdslcmd info --vendor
xdslcmd: ADSL driver and PHY status

Last initialization procedure status: 0
Max: Upstream rate = 5228 Kbps, Downstream rate = 21700 Kbps

Bearer: 1, Upstream rate = 0 Kbps, Downstream rate = 0 Kbps
ChipSet Vendor Id: BDCM:0xa44f
ChipSet VersionNumber: 0xa44f

Some of this information will be included in the next update to HG612 Modem Stats - in the pbParams chart in the snapshot montage:-


Selected modem type = HG612

Are you suggesting I am not on a G.INP enabled line then? As the latest sync and bras figures from the Zen portal indicate that the ratio is definitely still 96.79%.

If I am on a G.INP enabled cab (I must be as that is why I replaced the modem, due to latency issues), will it be enabled? Or must it already be enabled as I seem to have gained +10Mb sync speed out of know where?

The figures Zen show in the portal are direct from BT (that's what they say anyway). I guess what I'm trying to say is, based on what you and others are saying, and observing, something does not add up with the figures I am seeing if I am indeed on a G.INP enabled line.

Hope you can clarify.

Run the BT Wholesale Performance Test (ignoring all the red instructions - just say you've done them), and at the bottom of the initial results page click Further Diagnostics. That gives you the IP Profile straight from BTW.

Cool, ok, so 66.82 Mbps IP profile is 66820 kbps. Since BT seem to omit the last digit, let's make it 66825 kbps. 66825/69112 = 96.69%

Brilliant!

Which suggests that if your Zen portal is showing 66.89Mbps IP Profile summat is oop at their end.
