Thanks I appreciate your reply was starting to wonder if this line was just a one off but there must be others seeing the same IP results as I do.
The BB2 is giving me a sync rate of 38000 kbps with a higher SNRm over 24 hours than the HG612 ever did the IP profile is now at 34.9. but then it uses the BCM63168 chipset and my Unlocked HG612 is using the BCM6368 chipset that must be like 4 years old now.
