Sync so far above max, just 3.6 SNR, it's like it's now targetting 3dB. Much more bitloading now aswell.

Is there a chance the cabinet went down temporarily and your line was the first to reconnect to it? The temporarily reduced noise would have meant a higher sync at the standard 6dB target.

When the other lines connected the noise increased and so your SNR dropped.

I've seen this after a power cut so that's why it caught my eye.

That would come in under crosstalk issue and Kitz has given you a rundown on that.
So lets see a currently running Hawuai cabinet gets and the f/w update all users on that cabinet will need to resync, I can't believe all lines would just retrain all at once on that cab like a power outage.

there could be 4 line cards in the cabinet but i am sure each card would get the update and resync the customers line before it go's onto the next line card.

It wouldn't just be crosstalk though it would be all background noise, if there was a power cut.

I saw a similar thing on ADSL.

Have had that happen 4 times in 3 years it seems to be when the modem's Bit Allocation Table gets confused

That's a shame, I guess this speed is only temporary then.

Funny you mention that, because I did a speed test either Tuesday/Wednesday morning, & I got 90.67Mb, which is about 15Mb above my normal figure.

Max as in max attainable not throughput.

There wasn't a power outage at least not to the house. Surely if mains was lost to just the cab the battery backup would kick in and there would be no loss of sync.

I was using the connection at the time, total downtime was 7 mins 11 sec.

A phone number that doesn't have FTTC reports on the checker "Sorry your cabinet is temporarily unavailable, capacity will be restored as soon as possible." Availability Date is 02-Sep-15, so it appears the cab is awaiting extra capacity or is full and a new one will be erected. It's a 288 port Huawei with at least 3 cards, probably at least 4 but can't say for sure. Sync was on the lowest end of the estimate (infact the min dropped on the estimate together with the actual sync dropping over the years) suggesting it's getting close to full if not now full.

Anyway, will enjoy the extra bit of speed while it lasts. Thanks all.

funny all this work for hauwei users and ECI seemingly left to rot as if BT want to pretend ECI never happened.

By the way I am pretty sure its a hardware swapout.

chipset version is not firmware version, I will check with a contact if he knows anything.

If BT can afford to swapout hauwei then I damn well hope they can do ECI given there is less ECI than hauwei cabinets, are we second class customers?

[KIAB]

There is less ECI than hauwei cabinets, are we second class customers?

Is there any figures for actual number of each cabinets ECI & Hauwei, are they still installing ECI, or have gone over to Huawei cabinets completely, after all the problems.

[Chrysalis]

I think ECI is roughly 1/3 of total commercial rollout.

Some say I am wrong but as far as I am aware BT have stopped rolling out ECI now, there may be a few infills in ECI areas but thats probably it.

ECI seemed to stop the moment openreach announced they were working on vectoring.

Was buying ECI a cockup by BT ?

A sleepy purr from b*cat to mention that this thread is about Huawei equipped cabinet hardware and an observation made by an Eagle eye . . . <Yawns>

@Burakkucat  - apol, off topicness

Sorry B*Cat.

sorry :p was trying to get attention from those who talk alot about hauwei as everyone seems to think ECI doesnt matter.

I'm wondering if this has just happened to my line. A re-sync at 12:57am with no real gains noticed apart from a slight increase in speeds on the down and upstream. I'll need to double check stats to confirm though.

I've gone from

BDCM:0xa485 / v0xa485
to
BDCM:0xa48c / v0xa48c

How come the versions are so different? people are on a489 or a48c and I think I saw one post with someone on a48d, unless that was a typo.

I guess there are 3 or 4 types of Huawei cabinets (DSLAM) out there so depending on which your currently on the H/W version number will be different.
