west-lodge.com/adsl/index.htm new
west-lodge.com/vdsl/index.htm original FTTP

I think things are a little bit muddled on those two lines. The one annotated as "new" shows "adsl" and the one annotated as "original FTTP" shows "vdsl".  :-\

They are both VDSL. the web address I haven’t changed and some of the page titles need updating, but the are two VDSL lines and the graphs correct. The ADSL address is the one recently migrated.

Thank you.  :)  But I think you see what you thought you had typed rather than what you have actually typed . . .

I see "original FTTP".  ;)  :angel:

The 0xd086 line card version/firmware isn't seen very often.

There have been 2 different members on these forums with 2 VDSL2 lines connected to the same ECI DSLAM.
1 of their lines was on 0xd086 and the other on the more common 0xb206.

So the DSLAM's either have different versions of line cards in them or they have the same line cards with different firmware on the line cards.

You could try asking for a port swap in the hope you end up on a different line card.

Edit: just read your original post again.
You have exactly what I describe above. The line with the higher upstream is on v0xb206 firmware.

As expected the line has gone to fast path with associated slight improvements in DS. US remains at 770. OR booked for Thursday PM, not sure how they diagnose this type of fault as the metallic pathway looks fine and DS is fine.  :-\

>>> So the DSLAM's either have different versions of line cards in them or they have the same line cards with different firmware on the line cards.


They certainly do use 2 different types of line card on the ECI's.   I tried to do some digging into this many years ago.
Bearing in mind we are going back probably 8 years, my memory is hazy...  ECI manufactured 2 different 64 port vdsl2 linecards.  The newer of which were specifically designed to work with the V41 (Vectored) MSANS but are backwards compatible and also work in the M41's.

What Openreach call in some of their documentation the VTU-C64P V3 card contains the Lantiq Vinax V3 chipset.  The older VTU-C64 contains a Lantiq Vinax 2.2 chip.

FYI my stats identifies as IFTN:0xb206 (178.6) / v0xb206
From a photo taken inside my DSLAM I can see there's a bar code & sticky label on the linecard which says VTU-C64P
Both versions may be embossed with VTU-C64 so its not possible to tell from normal photos which is which and I'm not sure how significant the 'P' is when it comes to identification.    There are other numbers on the sticky label but they relate to 'BT' and a Serial No

Not E41 but M41.  :)

Not really :(   It was just more of a follow up on J0hn's post and confirming that there are 2 different line cards in use by Openreach, opposed to it being just f/w. 
The visiting OR engineer won't be able to swap you over to a different line card.  BUT he may be able to put in a request if all else fails.

If the engineer didnt show, you should be entitled to compensation.

I know your pain, same happened to me, I suggest getting a morning appointment even if its a later day, logic suggests they less likely to bounce it.

@Kitz Zen have passed a credit for this now without being asked so that’s positive and in the amount quoted in the link. Would the engineer know about that need I wonder ?
