Tomorrow taking delivery of some metal covers for the windows to prepare for the bombardment against my line from openreach agents who want it to stop been stubborn staying on fast path instead of g.inp.

[S.Stephenson]

Dont know if its a coincidence put as soon as I hooked up my OpenWRT ECI modem the INP went from 49 to 45.

Also just generally HG612 vs ECI modem stats.

How can the Line attenuation vary?

[skyeci]

I can't explain why but I too see large differences on my line  between the 8800nl and unlocked ECI. The eci comes out better all round for me where as it was the 8800nl pre g.inp

Can only assume its the chipset of the eci working better with my eci cabinet than the 8800nl after g.inp.
I have sent stats pre and post g.inp showing the 8800nl underperforming compared to the eci via a support ticket with billion so be inteteresting to see what they come back with..

[deron]

Just out of interest you with sky?

If so how does the Sr102 stack up?

[skyeci]

Yes with sky. The sr102 always syncs lower than the other 2 post and pre g.inp.

Pre g.inp was
880nl
Sr102
Eci unlocked

Post
Eci (66 -68mb)
8800nl (62-65mb, depending on conditions it seems and large snrm variance between the 8800 & eci)
Sr102(60mb)

[deron]

Thanks...

I 'think' I've had G.inp applied.

Due to noise caused by crosstalk and presumably my Homeplugs I was stuck on 15 down and 5 up.

It resynced a few days back and I've jumped to 20 down and 5 up.

I have a non modded ECI modem and modded hg612, but no way of passing on my Sky Password at the moment.

My neighbour also resynced and is on BT, so I may go over and plug in the hg612.

Just weighing up if I should get a Asus RT-N66U, to use with the ECI.

Is is normal since ginp to have a large gap between sync speed and attainable rate?

I have restarted the modem a few times (30m rule) but the is still a big gap between actual and attainable.  Looking over eci on mdws quite a few users seem to have the same issue.  Why is this?  Thanks

Do you have your sr102? as you can use a simple util from skyuser to get your username and password and then use this on your router.
I use 8800nl or eci unlocked depending on how I feel alonside the asus rt-ac87u running merlin on sky fibre pro

the util is very easy to use - if you need any help let me know.

[deron]

Yes, I've wiresharked my password...

At the moment I use my sr102 and homehub 5 to handle the wifi.

But was waiting for G.inp to be applied to see what the best option was.

[Dray]

I don't know if you're aware you can simply plug your Openreach modem LAN1 into any yellow LAN port on your SR102?

[deron]

Really?

And the Sr102 provides the password?

[S.Stephenson]

Using the ECI modem with another router will not increase speeds, except for maybe WI-FI.

[WWWombat]

How can the Line attenuation vary?

Attenuation varies according to frequency, so there isn't just a single figure that describes the complete spectrum. If you look at the output from "--pbParams", it will give attenuation values for each band, for example.

So ... the modem has to aggregate all the attenuation values for all tones, in some way, to come up with a single value. That task probably leaves the modem firmware a little scope for doing things differently.

And, of course, the more complicated the job is, the more scope there is for bugs. Or subtle interpretations of specs. Or differences in receiver sensitivity. Or even just a dodgy connector pin on the modem.

[deron]

But looking at "skyeci"

he sees:

Eci (66 -68mb)
8800nl (62-65mb, depending on conditions it seems and large snrm variance between the 8800 & eci)
Sr102(60mb)

Do you not think I'll see extra speed passed on from the eci modem to a separate router on my ECI cabinet as opposed to using the Sr102 and hh5?

[Dray]

Really?

And the Sr102 provides the password?

Yes, this is one of the ways of finding the username and password - using an app to fool the SR102 into thinking it's connected to a modem when it's connected to your PC which captures the username and password.  But if you connect the SR102 to a modem, it just acts as a router only.
