FTTC Fastpath

[michty_me]

Can anyone assist me on understanding why I have never been on fastpath?

Here are my current stats from the HG612.

Uptime: 33 days 21 hours 16 min 57 sec
Resyncs: 0 (since 14 May 2015 10:01:46)

Downstream Upstream
Line attenuation (dB): 17.3 0.0
Signal attenuation (dB): Not monitored
Connection speed (kbps): 74000 20000
SNR margin (dB): 7.0 10.8
Power (dBm): 13.6 7.4
Interleave depth: 16 8
INP: 49.00 47.00
G.INP: Enabled

Since joining Zen nearly a year ago (At two properties, One next door to the cab) I have never been on fastpath. Always slightly interleaved but as soon as my folks join Sky fibre they go straight on fastpath and half the pings I get. I have heard that there are three settings available which are Speed, Stable and super stable. Any truth in this? Anything I can do or request?

The settings you refer to Speed, Stable etc are old ADSL controls over Interleave. Currently ISPs do not have any control over FTTC profiles; interleave depth, SNR, etc. This is still in the hands of Openreach's DLM system.

Might be worth asking your ISP for a DLM reset? If you're lucky they may get OR to complete this. On the flip-side, is your line stable? Do you experience any noise or static during land line calls?

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I had heard that all FTTC connections had three different profile types set elsewhere such as this thread

I've put a post up on Zens forum but may give them a call. Both my lines are stable. One with a years uptime, Full sync speeds and no issue. My current one had an issue due to using homeplugs for a few days then the ECI firmware issue. Since then it has been solid with barely any errors since February.

I thought G.INP would only filter noise and not increase latency? I also thought G.INP would be applied to every line anyway?

The HG612 is fully updated. I have an Asus DSL-AC68U due for delivery tomorrow.

Are these the stats you require?
