I have read on the Plusnet forum that the ECI cab testing is done and the rollout is imminent, whether that is true or not i can't say for sure black Sheep did mention maybe August, so yeah there maybe hope for us ECI cab users just around the corner, fingers crossed it doesn't go the way of the Hauwei cabs with a unseen issue and further delays.
I was half way through making a post yesterday in the main g.inp thread about the August date, when I had to drop everything when Zigs started vomiting blood. Post got forgotten about as I dashed off. I'd found the references to the dates my earlier postings, but tbh cba to go searching again right now.. but they are there on this forum if you want to check.
Anyhow the abandoned post started off saying something like... The info I have is that the ECI situation would be reviewed when the all the Huawei cabs had been completed which was estimated to be mid to end of July. I got the impression from talking to someone very senior in BT that they were entirely happy that the fix implemented (g.inp mk2) and that it was working well. What he wouldnt outright give was a date for starting the ECI rollout, although I had hinted in one of my posts about a month ago that it could be Aug/Sept.
However bearing in mind that the original plan was to commence rollout of the ECI's as soon as the Huawei's had been completed and that BT are saying they are happy with [MK2] G.INP on the Huaweis... it is possible that the review wont take long and they have already made up their minds. (I'm sure Ive said that before too). Plus we have recently seen G.INP MK1 removed from one of our members who lives in Martlesham Heath where they have been testing G.INP on ECIs, it could mean they are prepping up for an imminent MK2 release for the ECI's.
All this and the timescales fit and tie in very nicely with the info is coming from BlackSheep too who as far as Im concerned hasn't been wrong with facts yet, so yep although I dont have an exact date all the indications are that ECI's could be happening quite soon.
