Looks like we will be seeing a new remote update in the reasonably near future by BT/HUAWEI. I just thought I'd see what had been gpoing on with this HG612 firmware as I was going to go back to my testing and then I found RevK's blog which indicates they have found a bug and are working on a fix, so this will get rolled out again as a new update I presume at some stage.

I flashed my modem now, I got too curious.

Sadly there is no immediate benefit on my line, long term I may get benefit, perhaps lower error rates etc, but nothing immediate.

US attainable is around the same as before.
DS attainable has dropped by yet another mbit.

After 40 mins uptime 7 crc errors on DS 7 also on US.  That would work out at approx 10 hour, 240 per day.  On previous firmware before I powered down modem was averaging 300-400 per day.

for the curious I flashed this file.

update, error rate is defenitly higher.

even with lower sync speed I am getting over 1000 errors a day with this firmware.
