Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this thread over the past few months - your help and advice has been invaluable and I hope too that other forum members have or will be interested in the "journey" I have been on. I'm disappointed that after 11 days there is no sign of G.INP, but I am also conscious that I am asking questions of you that have been discussed in other threads. I have called both Sky & Openreach - Sky say they can no longer request DLM resets or similar, and Openreach say that this is an SP matter.
I've spent several hours today reading large threads on the forum as people post their line stats, attempt to set their sync speeds and poke DLM into behaving a certain way. After all this reading, I have come to the conclusion that the best thing to do is to leave everything alone, and put trust in the system. I will be back in touch on 1 July, and by this time I hope to have some positive news to share - HG612 Modem Stats is running 24/7!
Thank you once again everyone. And one final dump of my line stats:
