Nice one.  :thumbs:   
Its usually about 10-11ms from Manchester on FTTC so that's excellent.

Eh?

It's a Broadcom based combined modem/router.

Why wouldn't I use it as designed?

Still I would bridge the openreach device instead.  If you not even at least willing to try it and compare it then thats it from me sorry.

 

Its the AC88U which has a BCM63138.   Asus appear to have ditched using the MediaTek chipsets which 'let down' some of their former modems.   I wouldnt touch the DSL-AC68U etc.... but if I had g.fast I'd definitely give the AC88U a shot. :) 

I am guessing he wants an all in one solution to save one power cable, and ethernet cable, but I think he should at least try the officially supplied device.
Me personally I actually deliberately separate modem from router so any router firmware updates, maintenance etc doesnt cause modem downtime. So I am the opposite.

I have tried it with no gain in speed and complete loss of visibility of stats.

The image was from when he was on VDSL.

Thank you for the simple explanation.  :doh:  :hat:

Forgive my ignorance, but what modem device do openreach supply for a g.fast connection?

I apologise for picking up an old thread.

G.fast can target 3 dB SNR, though I can see that Browni's connection is not anywhere close to that for the downstream (it likes to hover around 6-8 dB, so 6 is likely the target?). I wonder what is preventing the connection from targeting 3 dB since it would give a decent speed boost. There are a lot of parameters that I've not seen before. :silly:

Browni posted a link to his stats on page 2 so I am just linking it here for convenience.

Any thoughts?

Possibly DLM?   My daughter's connection started off quite good, but experienced rapid deterioration after emergency work to a gas mains which supposedly damaged a portion of their UG cable.   DLM took some very harsh action and quite rapidly took 230Mbps throughput down to a 95Mbps cap and then right down to 24Mbps.

Unfortunately she only has an MT992 so no stats other than the screenshots taken when Openreach was there last month  :(

One of the screenshots shows 3.10dB target SNRM after he did a DLM reset.

Well of course the DLM. ;D But I wonder which parameters are making the DLM back off from reducing the margin.

Yeah, I've seen that thread when frantically seeking information about G.fast speed/distance. :D I guess I'm just excited G.fast is coming. Shocking how much of an impact it had on the connection though!

Anyway, you said her connection was about 200m to the cabinet, though me thinks it's actually equivalent to around 250-300m of 0.4mm. :)

DLM has finally dropped the target margin to 3dB giving a ~45Mb/s increase in download synch rate 😃

That's pretty nice. Dropping the SNR margin is going to make a much larger difference on G.fast than on VDSL (in reference to the actual figure, of course :D). Hopefully it will stick around since that is a nice increase. :)

Hey Browni! What's happened to your downstream? :o

@re0, no idea mate!

Unfortunately I was in hospital when all the interesting things happened on my line including a synch rate of 267Mb/s which is within the clean estimate, ( a speed never obtained before.)

It then reverted to the pretty much standard 202Mb/s until this morning when a resynch with a retrain reason of 2000 occurred and a 9Mb/s bump in synch occurred.

Will the speed rise again?

Watch this space!
