Out of interest, do you use your own modem?

Currently a Billion 8800NL R2.

Prior to that, several years of HG612. Then two or three weeks of other trialling before ending up as I am now.

The original banding started way back in 2016 on an HG612, for no known reason, having chugged along below the banded speed for years.

But nothing to do with the IP Profile problem that WG has and I incidentally also have.

roberto, did you unlock your hg612, because, back in 2015 when g.inp was released, it required the hg612 to be updated with the sp08 firmware, however i didnt notice this and was banded for a good few months until i updated the firmware, it could be that your router/modem doesnt support g.inp.

Thanks, but I unlocked both my HG612s very early on, and upgraded to the unlocked 30SP08 firmware when that came along. G.INP has been active on the line for a very long time as well, effectively removing the interleaving it had.

I do reasonably well know what I'm doing . Though none of us can know 100% and I am a long way below WWWombat's level. The solution to my banding, lies in:

- waiting even longer, or
- seeing if AAISP can get a DLM reset done, which is unlikely seeing as their own and the GEA test they have run show no fault. Which is not surprising as there is no fault and never has been as far as I know. Just something happened way back, perhaps a violent couple of thunderstorms or the like, or
- seeing if they can trigger it by an Openreach product downgrade and then upgrade, as other sources tell me that resets DLM if associated with a migration away from WBC. I don't know if it does if staying on WBC which with AAISP I probably would. Or
- pass off this mortal coil and not have to be irritated by it any more. That's possibly what Openreach and BTW prefer users to do.

But as I said earlier - this isn't my thread and every time someone posts to me I have to reply. Which continues the unintended hijack. I shall get it sorted, or not. But none of the standard suggestions will help.
