So we have gone from one question to another issue of the hg612 and fighting - why?..

You're right, the OP question was

In reply to a post by Banger:

Can you bridge the supplied plusnet modem/router?

It was answered in the first reply

In reply to a post by PCJM40:

In the UI of the Plusnet Hub Two under Advanced settings/Broadband there is a toggle for Bridge Mode.

and the OP responded

In reply to a post by Banger:

Many thanks.

Everything after that is...........

I dont think an OUC is identifying I said I wouldnt get in to discussions about it on the INTERNET,

but again you claim you always use your own router on FTTP so explain.

As I said, I will leave people to make up their own minds about you being an employee of Openreach (or as you call it BT Openreach).

yep, have done it on Sky and Plusnet but there's nothing special about that, whats this got to do with the question the OP asked and had answered 2 weeks ago.

Can we all tone it down please. Let's not get angry with other posters

ONTs fail too .........

I am still using a huawei ONT that old one with 4 data ports and 2 phone ports + BBU (with original supplied batteries), been working great since we got it installed back in 2016.

Yes it was a good modem, and yes all equipment "wear out" in the sense the caps get less efficient and in some cases fail. Both the eci and hg612 power supplies were known to fail.

I think the updates to the 612 happened around 2015-16(the dates don't actually matter) that means anything that was tweaked on vdsl2 beyond the last firmware update wasn't going to appear, or work on the 612.

The issue beyond the 612 was that there wasn't any other godlike modem around - they all just worked well.

Fighting? I am not fighting.

Sadly everything fails at some point, some will go on for years, like my old TP-link router is over 12 years and old and would still work, the only reason I don't use it is that it can't cope with the amount of Wi-fi stuff I have. Not bothered about it being 2.4Ghz only.
My modem done the job I needed it to do, I suppose could have used the plusnet hub as a modem instead of the Openreach one, but I think the hub takes more energy than the modem.

ONT certainly do fail and sometimes before they are used, i chat to one person where 3 were tried when they had fibre installed, the last one worked ok.

yes like I would share anything like that on the internet...

If you THINK revealing 3 letters of an OUC identifies you then I would question if you really work for Openreach. Hopefully everyone can come to their own conclusion from this.

Don't care if they work for Openreach or not, still don't mean they know more than anyone else.

i had one failure on install - wasn't syncing with the servers (nokia 1gbit one) for about 20 minutes so they gave up and it was replaced with a 2.5gbit nokia ont (which i thought was still a gbit one)

note; replying to your other comment I wasn't referring to you Adrian. But the crazyness of the argument regarding the 612, which did go thru a bad patch where they were failing. You can have two installers see different issues with equipment. We all see a different version of the world just like we all see a different version facebook depending on various factors.

I agree it doesn't but in life some people make all sorts of claims to try and give what they say more credence. Hopefully we can all see through those sorts of people.

You don't have to be Edison Carter to work somethings out ;o) lol
