Fritz!box 7530 vs ECI vs HG612 on an ECI cabinet
« on: March 05, 2019, 03:14:36 PM »

As I re-contracted with Zen to save a few quid I got the new Fritzbox 7530 too so decided to do a check of all three devices I now have on my ECI cabinet.

HG612:


ECI:


Fritzbox 7530 (double NAT as no bridge mode):


I think the difference in upload may be the Traffic Shaper having a different impact either because of the lack of using PPPoE in pfSense or maybe even something about how the NAT in the Fritzbox is functioning.  It may even be that the Fritzbox is using a lower MTU which could be impacting how the results play out.

What I was impressed with however was the jitter seemed much more stable on the Fritzbox when testing on dslreports.  pfSense still has jumps to triple digits but the Fritzbox kept it totally under control through the whole test despite the higher throughput.  I didn't bother putting the dslreports tests on here as the upload speed result was garbage for some reason, so it could also be it was just misreporting all around.

Interesting results.

I assume re-syncs were all done at the same time of day?

Has anyone seen my signature, it seems to have disappeared, along with Openreach turning on G.INP on ECI cabinets ever again.

I literally just swapped them out one at a time as I have a limited period where nobody is using the connection.

I now have the 7530 with OpenWRT on it as an AP only and the ECI on my Zen line with the HG612 currently on my new Plusnet line.

Hoping to get a Zyxel for the Plusnet line.
