You had G.Fast installed on this line in December 2019 - https://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,24139.msg406421.html#msg406421 - so you should know exactly how it is going to perform

That's was in 2019. but things has changed estimated now

[adslmax]

Cuckoo Oak has no Cablelinks as it's not a Headend exchange.

Only TTB and Openreach know what they have at your headend however congestion is unlikely.

My 300 FTTP service is on a 1Gbit cablelink and never congests.

Thanks

Good news UnchainedISP informed me that Openreach engineer will come on Tuesday AM slot between 8am and 1pm 25th May.

I thought the install was on 26th May?

The ISP say it now 25th May instead of 26th. But who care! The earlier the better! 

Updated: BTw checker has changed from May 26th to 25th

The actual line itself hasn't really changed. Estimates irrelevant, should be more than fine for 160/30.

A reminder g.fast has vectoring so amount of subscribers shouldn't matter much.

[kitz]

As others have already mentioned, because g.fast uses vectoring then it escapes the sometimes huge losses due to crosstalk we've seen with vdsl2.
So it should perform similar to last time. 

Whilst on that topic..  a reminder to you:   IIRC most of your problems and unhappiness last time you were on g.fast seemed to stem from the fact you felt that the 160/30 product would have been better suited for your requirements and you wished that you hadn't gone for the higher speed.    It may be best to remember that just in case you are tempted.     Good luck for Tues.

[adslmax]

Many thanks. Look forward to Tuesday  and lovely tea and cake for the engineer. It's would be better & best not to know the higher attainable from the engineer's JDSU tester as long I am more than happy to have 160/30 for many years to come but if FTTP come along (160/30) I will take that depend on the price cost. 

This Tuesday I leave the engineer to hook up openreach modem along with my TP Link Wireless Router from WAN port. When he gone, powered down for 30 minutes and swap to one router (G.fast) XMG3927-B50A with the latest firmware already on it V5.17(ABMT.5)C0 and few settings changed all thanks to helpful from re0 and shall leave it alone, forget the dslstats. Enjoy the service! But, of course have to do one off check on the router stats and one off speed test and that's was it.

Updated: next door told me few days ago their G.fast has been ongoing connected for nearly 10 months with no issues from the cabinet 8 (that's good to know) as I know their EE are using BTw backhaul. TalkTalk Business backhaul shouldn't be any problem either.

Btw checker has changed estimates (increase speed in gfast)

There's no real need for you to show us the daily changes in the estimate, Max. Remember, an estimate is just that . . . an estimate! 

Wait until the install has taken place, then show us the figures.

Not sure of that. Plusnet / BTw have their own bras ip profile on both sides. TalkTalk Business doesn't have any bras ip profile?

[kitz]

The estimates have absolutely nothing to do with bRAS profiles.    As b*cat said..  they are nothing more than best guesses.

About the only thing I can think may cause changes are perhaps your neighbours performance.   Not that his line will affect yours, but more to do with that they can sometimes take the r/l speeds of any near/neighbouring lines as an indication to what you may perhaps be expected to get.      For example if my neighbour got g.fast first and our line lengths are very similar, then the speed they sync at could be used to estimate what speed Openreach think I might be able to get.

TalkTalk Business doesn't have any bras ip profile?

You are thinking of LLU ADSL(2+) and their own MSANs in the exchange.
The streetcab DSLAMs belong to Openreach, so its Openreach's DLM.

I'm trying to think why you'd bring the ip-profile into it?  ip-profile is based on your actual and real time sync speed.
With you mentioning PN are you thinking about the Plusnet line speed rate, which is based off the BTw ip-profile, but again nothing to do with DLM or speed estimates.

   

[adslmax]

I was talk about if my FTTC 80/20 suddenly down to 28/20 then I check BTw ip profile as it say 77.35Mbps and check PN current line speed was set at 25 Mb (then I know PN are capped the line) and raised fault on the line.

If TalkTalk Business OR ip profile for G.fast 154Mbps from 160/30 and TalkTalk Business current line speed could match the Openreach ip profile. Sorry kitz - I thought TalkTalk Business use LLU G.fast. My mistake
