BT Fibre2 after years on Virgin. Unlocked HG612 modem (SP08 firmware) and Asus RT-AC86U. DSLstats below and have been activated on 12 June. Have both ECI and Huawei cabinets down the road judging by the cabinet photos on Kitz. The BDCM entry below implies Huawei cabinet and that I should have G.INP, however it hasn't been enabled. How long does it usually take to enable? Do I need to do anything?

Thanks.

Hi, welcome to the forum.

You do indeed appear to be on a Huawei DSLAM.
You line length is relatively short judging by the DS attenuation figure of 14.9 dB, should eventually achieve close to max. DS synch rate depending on the amount of crosstalk that is likely to effect your particular line.

By present day standards, DLM should have applied DS G.Inp by now but it can sometimes take much longer.
When I migrated from ADSL to VDSL 2 years ago I waited close to 9 weeks before DS G.Inp was applied, some forum patrons at that time waited even longer, however, by present day standards DLM should react within a few days of connection or after a DLM reset has been applied.

With the minimum stat's you have supplied it's not possible to tell how your line is performing in any detail, even so DS G.Inp should be applied by default regardless of performance.

From you router uptime hours looks like you have had or instigated a recent re-synch, at this stage I would avoid any manual re-connections if possible and just wait to see what happens with DLM, as your line is currently close to 70 Mbps DS and 20 Mbps US synch. speeds should be more than usable unless your needs are very specialised.

Many thanks @tiffy

Maybe the issue is I had an ECI modem from the 12 June until replacing it yesterday with the HG612. Will give it some time.

Maybe the issue is I had an ECI modem from the 12 June until replacing it yesterday with the HG612. Will give it some time.

Never had any experience with original BT issued ECI modems but I think they supported DS G.Inp, I'am sure some of the better informed patrons will correct me on this if I am wrong.
Have used a Huawei HG612 modem in the past, certainly a better bet for obtaining your line stat's, can even use DSLStats utility if you wish, lots of good information available on setting that up on the forum.

From the extended stat's you have provided it looks like you have a good low noise line, the ES's, SES's & CRC are currently very low or non existant.
When DS G.Inp finally comes along you will be able to determine if the profile applied is high or low, look at the Bearer 0 INPRein parameter, 0 = Re-Tx low profile, 1 = Re-Tx high profile.
Low is best meaning that your line DS BRAS IP profile should be approx. 97% of your synch. speed as apposed to approx. 92% with high profile, ie., higher data speed, should default to low profile but doesn't always.

Again, some of the better informed forum patrons will be able to offer more detailed information on the line stat's you have provided.
In the mean time I would sit tight and give DLM a chance to sort itself out.

OK, what I have noticed with the unlocked Huawei HG612 modem, BQM and DSLstats from 29 June is that I've had two broadband interruptions as shown in the attached BQM image. I thought it was a fault, rebooted both the modem and the router without any change, only to find out that when the service was finally restored, my IP didn't change. This got me thinking as I would always get a different IP when rebooting. What I finally concluded (could be wrong) is that the cabinet/exchange didn't notice me rebooting because it was busy doing something.

It wasn't G.INP as that is still not enabled, but suspect it was DLM because my interleave depth to start off with was 1357, then 1355 after the first service disruption like the one in the attached BQM graph, and is now 1351 after the second disruption. My line attenuation also changed from 14.9 to 14.8, SNR still in the range of 6.1 - 6.4. Errors are also very low and never over 10 per day. Won't post a bunch of stats as haven't noticed any other differences.

Is this the DLM doing its thing i.e still looking for the sweet spot or something completely different?

Apologies for the stupid questions as still getting my head around the whole DLM thing...

If you IP changes or not is entirely down to your ISP, nothing to do with the DSL side of things.

[j0hn]

The Interleaving depth changes as sync changes.
If you resynced at the exact same rate then the Interleaving depth wouldn't have changed.

If a resync is quick enough then the PPP session won't time out and the IP won't change, simple as that.
That's ISP dependant though and unrelated to anything DSL.

Many thanks both.
