it looks like some of my clients will also need to ask BT to swap over their crippled HG612 modems
for ECI according to Adrian at A&A, and a post on the 15th Jan 2014
Quote "BT are testing a fix in the lab and will deploy in due course, but this could take months.
However, if any customers are adversely affected by this bug, please let us know and we can arrange
for BT to send a replacement ECI modem instead of the Huawei modem"
absolutely shocking that BT allow automatic updates like this without telling end users, amazing !
