I noticed there was an update to the link I posted earlier in the thread: https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2017/12/openreach-pause-uk-trial-g-inp-fix-eci-fttc-broadband-cabs.html

UPDATE 1st Feb 2018
We understand that so far the ECI Retransmission Trial has migrated around 600,000 lines and the official rollout is about to commence across their estate. The xdB (3dB profile) has also been successfully applied to some ECI lines.

I haven't really been following this too closely. But as anyone we know had G.INP applied to their line on ECI?

[skyeci]

nope. been checking near on 2 years. no change on mdws since April 2016 except 2 users who held on to eci g.inp. I questioned where these supposed 600,000 lines are but did not get a response.

Apparently the word on the street (via Chrysalis I believe?) is that things should start to happen from next week... (i.e. w/c 4th March)

This will hopefully be great news.  I can't wait to read about someone new getting ginp / 3db on an ECI cabinet.  I hope they will roll out quite quickly but if similar to last time I was near the end.

I assume newer lines will be some of the last to get G.INP? I don't know what order they do it in so just guessing.

[ktz392837]

I think in the past rollout has been exchange based not on age of line. 

They do a specific number of exchanges (associated cabinets) at the same time. 

Hopefully MDWS  users will be able to tell quite quickly once rollout begins.

You never know we may get more information from a knowledgeable member once roll out begins - hopefully that is next week

I am wondering if the roll-out will phased in relation to the fibre head-end exchanges and not the local telephony-serving exchanges?

I believe that to be the 4th week in March, and not the 4th of March.

I wonder if we are going to get some good news next week.  I am crossing my fingers and toes as rollout of ECI Ginp is probably the biggest thing to have happened with respect to FTTC for quite a few years.

lol.. I am not getting my hopes up just yet  - seems like we have been here before..

oh look. my post was nearly a year ago saying let's hope it returns in April 2017!!!...

[ktz392837]

Let me dream

[Ixel]

I hate to say this but I'm honestly expecting something else will happen again that will cause another delay. In the meantime I'm looking forward to my second VDSL2 service which will be bonded as of early next month, but G.INP on both connections would be icing on the cake .

Still being deployed / tested, might get another update in May.

Interesting, I wonder if they've found more problems again and are delaying. Hardly surprises me though, I didn't expect to see it this year to be fair.
