- The report suggests that ECI modems can support G.INP downstream, but not upstream. This ought to imply that most cases of extra latency should only be 8ms, coming from fallback of just the upstream.

I did notice the Billion 8800NL has phyr turned off on the US by default could that also be related to the above 

it appears the majority of modems have it turned off on US by default, presumably because its optional and therefore not all DSLAMs will support it.

From some tests last week, didn't we see that the modems (visibly) have the PhyR feature turned off upstream, but that this is a different feature from G.INP. PhyR is a Broadcom-proprietary solution, while G.INP is a generic ITU specification.

The modems make this hard to determine, because they seem to have separate command options to set the 2 features, but don't have options in the display commands to show both configurations in parallel.

*sigh* You got to love people on eBay that don't use a picture of the actual item they're selling! 1 ECI rev.R modem arrived. Will be shoved in the bottom of the drawer as a spare. I might mail the seller and point out they haven't sent me the item in the auction but other than that it's not worth the grief or the cost of sending it back.

[EDIT] Bah, not in the mood for messing about - just did a BIN for one that specifically says it's an unlocked Huawei - not that I'm desperately interested in the unlock, it's the compatibility I'm after.

Do you have a link for the image?

Sure looks like they used a Huawei image to me.

Attached is a photo Ive just taken of an ECI (left) and Huawei (right)

I might mail the seller and point out they haven't sent me the item in the auction

I would!

[MartinW]

They did for sure, and I've saved it Oh well.

I'll start a new thread when the Huawei turns up - which is definitely listed and pictured as a Huawei 3B, and they even say it's unlocked and talk about that, so there's no question this time round! I've waffled on enough about modems and eBay in this G.INP rollout thread :p

Have to be wary of ebay scam, they took photo of different openreach modem and then misleading description to customer.

It's the principle that counts! That image is definitely of a Huawei HG612, so I would open an eBay case that the supplier did not supply the item for which you were bidding. 

[burakkucat]

Interesting!

Interesting, yes, but a kludge.    I would be more interesting in being supplied with an appropriate CPE that operates as expected!
