Frustratingly there's a Virgin cabinet in visible range of the BT cabinet I'm connected to, they just didn't go past the local park leaving 1/4 of the road not covered.

Though not as frustrating as FTTP being delayed here 2-3 years.

That sucks, I know Virgin is in and around my area also but only certain parts. I plan on moving in the not too distant future (possibly next year or so) and I plan on moving to Virgin media in the new property.

My son has had similar experiences with Virgin cable in both of the properties he has occupied, cable at the end of the street but not continued down to his properties.
On enquiring, he has always been told that the issue is both cases was no footpaths which indeed was physically the case, local council won't permit Virgin to cable trench on the road within housing developments.

given the reports of it kicking in with only 200ES, it would seem even a quick action to turn off the modem, a few minutes into a storm may not be sufficient.

I’m on an eci cabinet roughly 150m away line is always rock solid 67/20 lived here just over a year and always on fast path with low ping of 8, as of early hours of Monday morning roughly 4.30 had a resync dropped to 63/20 with a ping of 20 which is very unusual, with sky and it’s always spot on to be fair! Are Openreach doing something behind the scenes hopefully going to give us 2nd rate users compared to Huawei G.INP at last as this trial looks very promising, I was on the last trial a few years ago and worked perfect for me speed gain of 7mb on download and ping went to 5 and was rock solid until Openreach pulled it

Well after nearly 7 days being interleaved and speed dropping from 67/20 to 63/20 had a resync this morning around 5.30 and my speed has gone to the highest I’ve ever had in a year living here now on 70/20 and ping is now 8 from 20? Just wondering if G.INP has been applied to my line, unfortunately I’m using sky’s sr204 router which tbf Is Rock solid but very basic and no way of finding out but it’s looking good atm hopefully it’s been rolled out 😁

Excellent news. I'm still interleaved, so fingers crossed for G.INP for me soon.

Or maybe SNRm 3dB was applied by DLM which does normally means higher attainable / sync. speed...

No noise margin sitting at 6.2db down and 12.2db up I don’t think they have applied the lower noise margins to eci cabinets yet just G.INP for now as that was hard enough for op to get right but looks like they have this time round 😁

[mofa2020]

Ah ok I thought the router don't show SNRm, so probably G.INP is enabled in this case that would be the most logical reason for the higher speed. Glad it is finally available on ECI 

[j0hn]

The more likely explanation is the line has simply returned to fastpath.

It went interleaved due to high ES.
You would then expect it to revert to fastpath.

The fact you synced a little higher doesn't mean G.INP is enabled.

Not seen anyone on Sky with G.INP.
No mention on their forums or here.
It needs them to opt in.

So, at 6am this morning I am back on fast path, still no GINP though (BT - ECI Cab):

Got a resync last night but still on interleaved so back to waiting 10+ days again I guess.  It is stupid I should just be able to login and turn interleave off.  I was on 29 ES before the resync.  That is less than 3 per day.  Better yet just put Ginp on all ECI lines.  Convinced it was the weather last night causing the resync I will probably have thunderstorms in 9 days stopping it being removed again.

[ktz392837]

I totally do not understand the DLM.

Two days ago I got a 100 ES in an hour and was thinking that is me waiting 10 days again but no it reset to fastpath last night.  Yippee.

I have now given up trying to understand how the DLM works.

I just hope ECI GINP passes the trial and gets rolled out to me soon.

[ktz392837]

After last nights severe lightning storm I am back to an interleaved connection.  I wish ECI ginp would be enabled but not sure it would have saved me.  I had a hour with 2000 ES beat that

Yeah me too. I've never seen a storm like we had here last night before. Lightning and thunder for hours - horrid.

[pxr5]

A resynch last night, still interleaved. Downstream SNR margin has never been as low though.
