Hi guys, was hoping someone could have a look at my stats and give me some pointers / views. Pre a few days ago I've never bothered having a look at what was going on however, on 29th Nov a neighbour commented that an engineer had been doing some work under the small 'grate' in our front garden and there was mention of something being reset? Not sure what? I therefore though it would be a good opportunity to give one of the HG612 stats programs a try.

I've attached what BT Openreach show for the line and a couple of screen dumps from the stats program.

Thanks

I would be quite happy with those....I wish mine looked like that.

I'm nowhere near the BT checker. The old AL cable takes all the higher frequency's out

If line your line length to the Primary Connection Point cabinet is around 870 to 1000 meters then yeah that is a good connection for the longer line with no internal or external issues.

But a single snapshot of stats keyap does not show the full story of the line only when logging and getting graphs over time will it show how well it is performing.

Thanks both.

Length to exchange is ~4.5Km. Not sure on exact length to cabinet though? I know where it is and, as the crow flies, it's ~400m however, if I follow the road, it's nearer ~1.2KM. Is there any way to get an accurate length to cabinet?

Re ongoing monitoring. I'd ideally like to set up 24/7 MyDSLWebstats monitoring but have no idea how to do this? Next step is going to be some forum reading to see how to make this happen

You could use dslstats on a pi if you want a low power/small foot print solution..

[keyap]

Never used a PI. Is there an 'idiots' guide covering what I need  and how to set it up?

[NewtronStar]

Is there any way to get an accurate length to cabinet?

A GEA test if your using Plusnet as your ISP shows accurate line length in those tests, and if you know each joint your line uses all the way to PCP cabinet it will give you some idea other than that the Openreach engineer during a home visit can give you this.

Might be of some help

Thanks - looks like the PI is a good option. Before I read more though, just want to check there's no way of doing this via Android? Have a 'box' connected 24/7 so would be an easy option if there's some type of app?

[NewtronStar]

Only RPi OS Debian and Linux or Microsoft OS there is no Android support

[skyeci]

Dont believe so..

DslStats works on Windows/Linux/Pi/Mac(via wine)
HG612_stats works on Windows (looks like that's what you're using)

Your stats look decent to me. You're near the high estimates from the BTWholesale checker. You're connected to a Huawei cabinet and G.INP is enabled.

You can sign up to MyDSLWebStats here
https://www.mydslwebstats.co.uk/mdws-rg.php

Then enter your username & validation code in either of the 2 compatible stats programs mentioned above.

Thanks all.

DSLStats on a PI would seem the way to go 

As a complete noob to the PI world, this seems like a good starting point (I think?) - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Raspberry-Pi-Official-Desktop-Starter/dp/B01CI5879A/ref=pd_vtph_147_bs_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=HDJQMTQ5MQXZH54RGHW5

If you get a New RPi with noobs installed it will guide you through the process but make sure you click on Raspbian as the OS because on noobs you can install other OS which won't with DSLstats

Thanks everyone  . I'm now registered on the MyDSLWebStats site (username = keyap) and the above PI is on the way.

Using HG612 Stats and uploading via the PC seems to be working OK
