August 8, 2019 at 9:23 pm #3704I noticed you Attenuation was low (lucky chap) , hence good synch. maybe worth giving your ISP a call and see if they can find any errors with your line ? I have emailed ASUS so will let you know about unlocked Firmware.

August 8, 2019 at 10:01 pm #3710August 8, 2019 at 10:08 pm #3711I’m on 591. Not sure what FEC is? Hehehe. If you tell me then I can tell you. It seems pretty fast to me. Faster than my IP says it should be :-)

August 8, 2019 at 10:09 pm #3712Sorry – also went onto fast immediately. I’m with talktalk in the UK. The cabinet is literally outside my house and the exchange is only a few hundred meters away. May explain things!

No Problem, on your original DSL screen dump, about two items below is FEC, what is the values ?
Edit: Thanks for above stats, very useful ;-)

August 8, 2019 at 10:18 pm #3715FEC is Forward Error Corrections. In simple terms: line errors between the modem/router and the exchange/DSLAM that were corrected. Generally these are unnoticeable… unless they become really high. And by high, I mean roughly above 10000 over a period of 15 minutes.

I already spoke with my provider (EE), I suspected that there is a cap on my line because on the beginning I was able to go above 65Mb/s now I just kick in 60Mb/s, so they told me that there is no any cap on my line and they try to feed me with bu… t about 10 days training period where on other forum BTOR engineer confirmed that there is no such thing on Vdsl, yes it was on ADSL.
Of course I didn’t help for DLM by reseting modem few times, and now when I see milion of FEC errors I’m pretty sure there is no hope for better sync speed unless I have telnet unlocked, then I can try solution from other forum, which works with modem on BCM chipset and ECI cabinet.

It says in your screenshot Modem Vendor ID Infineon.ย The DSL-AC88U has a Broadcom modem, or am I reading this wrong?

The Double reference to Infineon is in reference to Cab/Exchange, nothing to do with the ASUS Broadcom Modem chipset – but it is a little confusing at first glance.
