So I sent Openreach an enquiry via that form on the superfast where and when site, asking if they could advise if my cabinet was planned for vectoring.

Got a reply saying "Great news! Your cabinet is enabled for fibre services, please contact a serice provider.." etc etc

Yeah that's great, but not what I asked, clearly scripted replies. I didn't expect a useful reply anyway if I'm honest, but thought I'd give it a shot  :D

Is there any further news on vectoring since this was last updated? Do you think it will be rolled out?

No it won't be rolled out. As openreach are doing G.fast instead.

Do we know this for sure, or is that just an assumption based on the fact that they now appear to be investing more time, money & effort in g.fast rather than say upgrading the ECI cabs.  They could if they wanted use vectoring in certain areas (say the BDUK cabs) to try and get a bit more from certain lines to improve target speeds.   Im sure I read something implying that this may be considered.

caveat from me. 
Im not saying they will or wont..  but it certainly looks a bit dead right now for the ECI's at least.

It would be quite a long time before we saw G.fast rolling out where we live I think. We only got enabled for fibre about a year and half ago.

Nothing's changed from last year. A bit of vectoring here and there to get marginal punters above the local authority target. Beyond that G.fast with a heavier dose of FTTP than planned previously.

Those wondering why BT would obsolete the cabinets should remember that the Huawei kit has, from memory, 30+ gigabits of backplane capacity, can take 10Gb backhaul, and can happily function as an FTTP OLT with the addition of PON cards.

Hint hint.

I believe it is possible with the Huawei SmartAX MA5603T but not the smaller Huawei SmartAX MA5616. Would that agree with your general feeling?  :-\

Are any of the stats monitoring and recording programs collecting and displaying the status of vectoring?

Where is it in the router's stats?

We need to know how to recognise it first. In the case of G.Inp it was the presence of Bearer 1 in the stats, but I have no idea what marker vectoring adds to the stats (if it does).

I think you need to use a specific command line switch to report the vectoring status. For the CPE modem, it's main task in the vectoring is to upload all the data the vectoring engine in the DSLAM needs. I'm not sure anything would show up in the general line stats.

As mentioned in another thread, the command for a HG612 is xdslcmd info --vectoring:-
