Update 2:
I'm now testing this by forcing fastpath on the downstream. I've kept the sync rate at 49Mbps maximum for the moment, just INP is 0 and delay is 1ms (fastpath). SNRM is approximately 16dB with an attainable downstream rate of 95392.

Update 1:
Test concluded. FEC count is now rising every second again. Test failed?---
Am now on the new firmware, an interesting observation so far is the SNR and bitloading graphs.
Previous firmware:
Newest test firmware (2143):
As you should see, the newest test firmware produces smoother graphs and makes use of tones nearer the end of the 17MHz, where the older version doesn't. Bear in mind for the above graphs I have UPBO disabled (yes I know it causes some crosstalk, yes I'll be disabling it, but at this point I'm trying anything to see if I can get reduce the FEC's to a count similar to that of the HG612).
Early days yet, all depends on if the FEC goes into the tens or hundreds of millions after 24-48 hours of uptime.
