I'm on an ECI with 3dB (I think due to the power cut recently, I don't think DLM targeted it) stable right now.

Its like winning the lottery.

Was wondering why Huawei BDUK cabinets have Vectoring enabled while the OR funded Huawei cabinets don't, can't see a reason why this should be the case is it down to money 

yes is money, openreach get more revenue in BDUK areas.

but also targets on the BDUK contracts. Not simply best efforts like commercial rollout.

I have adjusted the list...

1 Huawei with Vectoring - a rare beast indeed, although becoming more common
2 Huawei without vectoring

...three technologies not on ECI (vectoring, ginp and 3db) so eight permutations.....

.....so that makes it.....

8 ECI

At times I wonder if BT have done the sums to see if instead of adding gfast pods just swapping eci cabs to huawei would give a better speed improvement to more people than rolling out gfast at all.  Can you tell I am on an ECI cab?

a mass switch to vectored vdsl30 would help more but its the marketing, g.fast allows higher speeds to be marketed

See that XdB (3dB) it can be chucked into the bin it can cause more instability than extra sync, ECI G.INP should have been active well over a year ago it worked well in 2015 (with a compatible modem)

yeah the rollback was painful to witness no doubt due to whinging CPs.

Is there a list somewhere showing which exchanges or cabinets have vectoring turned on?   If I am going to move house, it would be one more factor to consider.

Meanwhile, thanks to everyone who has contributed on this thread.  Vectoring was an unexpected Christmas present and a good way to start my 34th year online.
