My 7530 is connected to Vodafone DSL and has the problem.
Maybe it’s an interaction with how Openreach configure DSL and the v8.0 firmware that’s underlying the issue.
The Fritzbox reports that the DSL cabinet is running on a Broadcom system

5. Now you have a stock (non Zen) Fritz Box running v7.56. Crucially, the function to "Receive updates from internet provider" which was force ticked on in the Zen firmware no longer appears.

Good overall post except item 5 - relating to the Internet > Account Information > Provider Services tab

I have Zen firmware and the function that is ticked and greyed out is not for firmware updates but for receiving automatic configuration information such as Internet account settings and VoIP settings. In general you should leave this on if you want services and service changes you order from Zen to work without manual intervention.

There is a separate tickbox directly beneath this which controls whether the ISP can direct the router to update its firmware automatically which you can untick.

The above is entirely separate from the System > Update > Auto Update settings.

This was covered earlier in the thread but not everyone reads in flat mode before posting.

No it makes no sense at all....the chip that does the firmware got damaged !!!! How ? Whose ??

So...no exclusive to Zen

But the Openreach suggestion merits investigation.

I am on Broadcom: Version 12.3.16

What are the rest of you on ?

.....

The ISPs management system having an entry for v8 firmware that did not exactly match the version string what the routers were downloading, and so commanding them to keep downloading a "new" update was the most plausible explanation given so far, ...

So why are so few people being affected ..as we are led to believe?

Broadcom: Version 10.9.42

Very fair and indeed I had missed this
I am not sure I trust Zen to manage their own provisioning right now, although up to this incident it has been fine.
Caveat emptor to anyone who tries - it may solve the issue right now but might cause complications down the road..

So have you recovered to an earlier version or are you running v8 (but un-Zenned) ?

Hi, My fritzbox is reporting, Broadcom: Version 10.9.42
It is using G.INP in both directions, profile 17a, and carrier record A43

Curiously, reducing the memory use (by turning off features etc, using only 5GHz wifi etc.) seems to have made the box more stable: it has currently run for about 26 hours on version 8.0 since a reboot.
