Remember they are counters though, so its seconds out of the entire uptime for Near End - and seconds since records were last reset on the DSLAM Far End.  So unless its visibly going up constantly, it does not represent an active problem.

@RealAleMadrid

Thank you for your reply. I recently changed my ISP, and they asked for the Technicolor DWA0120 to be sent back. I have used the DWA0120 for well over a year with very good results. This might be because both the Far and Near end were based on Broadcom chipset. With the DWA0120 out of the picture, I switched to a Vigor 130 which was very affordable on eBay. During the first evening, when I was streaming films, the connection started dropping with alarming regularity.

I managed to stabilise the connection by forcing a switch from the "fast" mode to the "interleaved" one. To achieve this, I disabled G.INP on the Vigor. It has been stable ever since. However, in the process I noticed a large number of errors on the upstream side. I think what you are saying about that coming from the cabinet, makes a good sense. That would definitely explain the large numbers.

With regards to FECS, I suspect they are seconds, after all. If I do "vdsl status more", it reports the unit of measurment as "seconds" next to FECS. It kind of makes sense, if you think of it. FECS is a proactive mechanism, and I suspect the sending end does not really know if the redundant data/checksums have been used by the receiving end or not. For that reason, it simply reports "I have been sending redundant data for X number of seconds".
