There are however three things which puzzle me still.
1) Why is my download speed still consistantly 12M down on my IPProfile after 4 days?

2) I normally do speedtests with btwholesale and speedtest.net with the later showing US 1-2M greater than BT. When I got G.INP'ed (I'm assuming) my US reported by BT dropped to ~10Mbps while SpeedTest stayed at ~17Mbps. When G.INP was enabled on the HG612, both speedtests reported ~15Mbps.

Hi and welcome to the forums

What is your Plusnet profile?

We've seen a couple of cases whereby its the PN profile which has stopped the speed increases being immediate.

Hi kitz

The PN profile was showing as 55.6 Mb on 26th Apr and when I next checked on the 28th it was 65Mb. Checking it now still shows 65Mb.

Edit: Can't type

tried a DLM reset which didn't change the IPProfile or download speed.

This is rather familiar to lines which have been g.inped but have an incompatible router, and its mentioned in the main post that for some reason the OR guys appear have a job to get it to unstick and the only way is getting a compatible router.

Im a bit at a loss to try figure out why the line is now syncing at 67Mbps, and both the IPprofile and BT profile at 65Mbps why youre not yet getting full throughput.

Perhaps one of the other guys can spot something obvious that Ive missed?

Ah, must have missed that. I've switched out the PN supplied router for an ASUS which I'll plug back in. Thanks for the suggestion.

You nailed it kitz! I've been following this thread for about 2 weeks and seem to have forgotten the finer details Using my original Technicolor TG582n instead of the Asus rt-ac68u I'm now getting 61Mb. I'll see if I can downgrade to one of the old firmware versions for Asus.

Thank you so much kitz.

BT not Openreach supplied the HH5 A that has a problem with G.Inp. I don't think BT are in any rush to replace those, or even stop rolling them out.

<snipped to keep page length shorter>
My estimate range has been dropped as a consequence of 2 speed drops that were faults that BT OR 'Fixed' but didn't.
G.INP has been gone for weeks, might be more than a  month, my memory has blured due to the on going saga with Plusnet. (Do not ask!)  
 

yeah I remember you had a very high attainable initially (like myself) and now are below 70mbit.  I had 2 large drops in attainable in the first month of my service, which at this time I have assumed is heavy disturbers on crosstalk, but its always been lingering in my mind if its a fault.  The only way I will find out is if and when vectoring gets enabled.

Chry if G.INP has caused this much hassle to a lot of users god only knows when vectoring is enabled on their line and the modem is incompatible that's going to be another forum headline.

at least with g.inp we're able to identify the issue. I've not seen any reference to vectoring anywhere so I'm not sure how we'd know it was enabled or even if it's supported by the modem or not.

Oh for sure if it's not working as it should you will be getting weird speedtest results as G.INP is the first step to vectoring if the g.inp project is unsuccessful wave goodbye to vectoring 

[loonylion]

we know the hg612 supports g.inp, what about vectoring for that modem?

I don't know but i will purchase a modem that's supports g.inp and vectoring, there has to be plenty of Mobile phone users that want something and their old contract phone can't do while still under the 18 month contract, so what do they do they purchase a better one is that not the same as a Broadband contracted modem.

But if you are connected to an ECI cab like me then there is no point buying another modem as the cabinet is a limitation anyway in regards to G.INP?

Youre very welcome, but I didnt do anything much -  it was a fluke and my misuse of the word 'router' that triggered you finding it.  I hadn't twigged re the TG582n, so you get credit for that.
So glad you managed to sort it

Blue166 your lookin for an answer regarding what will happen if g.inp is enabled and what if it's not enabled, I think you want it but are peed off because you can have it at the moment is that correct ?

I would be peed of to if i was in your shoes ! you would like G.INP enabled on your line but for some reason it's not within your reach, look at the moment on your ECI cabinet your better of without it until oprenreach finds away for both ECI cab and ECI modem to work in both directions using G.INP but it's not there yet.

You can keep on posting what will happen and what if ? the answer is we just don't know, I sound like the late Sir Patrick Moore but a least he was honest when faced with a difficult question.
