Re: ECI modem on Huawei Cabinet


[re: Skilty] [link to this post] 		 
Not keen on that.
I also read that ECI modem on Huawei cabs increase latency and sync slower than Huawei modems.

Does anybody have a link or a list of the modem/routers approved by Openreach?

Get an Openreach Huawei 612 off eBay and unlock it easily. There is a stats program written by forum users here that is great on that, and loads of advice/expertise. Up to you what you tell Zen then.

The indispensable man or woman passes from the scene, and what happens next is more or less the same thing as was happening before.

This is exactly what I did, the firmware is easy to find and the update process is pretty simple.

You are still using a BT OR modem it just happens to be unlocked...

Cheapest on "Buy it now" is currently £45 on the Bay.

I had the approved VMG1312-B10A, but like all combinations I have tried it was rubbish. Lost my temper in the end and put it out of its misery. see it here.
