ChipSet SerialNumber:   

After:
ChipSet Vendor Id:   IFTN:0xb206
ChipSet VersionNumber:   0xb206
ChipSet SerialNumber:   <removed>

What's new in this version?

Also noticed:

see here for a discussion on it
this newer firmware was rolled out some months ago, then rolled back around the time G.INP rollout was halted
it was noticed a couple weeks ago that it has started again, though I'm still on 204

I'm not sure it was rolled back, Ive been on 206 for some time now, OK the rollout may have stopped and restarted but I dont believe it was ever rolled back.

I dont think it was ever rolled back. iirc Chrys was one of the first to get it at the beginning of the year and has remained on it.  There's a couple of others too such as tickmike.  Interestingly some of those were the ones who didnt actually get g.inp.

It just ground to a standstill during the ECI G.INP fiasco, but seems to have been restarted again since Openreach decided they were going to delay re-rolling out what ever went wrong with G.INP.



Had a few problems here since x206 was rolled out which may or may not be related, but just after the update I got the thousands of CRC and E/Secs which were nothing to do with me and obviously at either the cab or further back.  During this time my connection was unusable for the day because so many packets were being dropped.   DLM punished me for this despite it not being my line. 
We also had a massive outage a few days later when I couldnt even access the internet for ~12hrs.

When I first saw this thread, I noticed my eci cabinet was showing 0xb206
After yesterdays resync it's now showing:

DSLAM/MSAN type:           IFTN:0xd086 / v0xd086

Also my upstream sync has dropped from 1.6Mbps down to 0.5Mbps.

This is on FTTC right?

Thats a much bigger bump in version number than the b204 to b206

Lets hope this is a first stage of g.inp preparation work.

Well it's not good on my long line, so far I've tried 3 resyncs and the upstream has improved to 754 Kbps.  ???

Looks like it's the new upstream power of only 4.4dB causing my low speed, previously it was around 6.8dB.  :(

Previously on 0xb206, was DS and US power the same?

on 206 I think the US power reported is bugged.

So, my downstream power level has gone up by a fair amount and so has my max d/s sync.

Note: I have my d/s sync capped at 21 Mbps via the "--maxDataRate" command. It will be interesting to see what my uncapped speed is but I'm reluctant in case I get DLM'd.

your upstream has been cut to about 1/3rd of what it was before. Don't fancy that firmware update!

Is the change in upload not caused by the upload INP increasing from 3 to 3.5?

Also looking around it seems to be an old firmware???
