I've just thrown it on mine now and notice that the modem code is different - from 211011_A to 232201_A.
Throughput seems to be down a fair bit too - from around 16mbit to 10mbit.
Old line stats (3.3.4_RC10):
New line stats (3.3.5_RC2a):
Edit: corrected old firmware code to 211011_A in initial paragraph

Like an idiot, I didn't take a stats snapshot before I upgraded to RC2A but I just backgraded to 3.3.4.1 official release and this is how it looks (same modem firmware of course)
Slight difference but not much... (rubbish transfer rates at this time of night...)

I'm curious, how come you had such old modem firmware on before? Mine's had 232201_A on it ever since release 3.3.3?I've just thrown it on mine now and notice that the modem code is different - from 211012_A to 232201_A.dbames wrote:

I think the different firmwares have been adapted for different line types (i.e. some may work better on longer lines than others). Though my line is short and good quality.
I notice that with our older firmware (and modem code), that DS Interleave Depth and US Interleave Depth were set at zero, but on 3.3.5_RC2b, they're all set to values of >0.
Not sure of the implication of this?

Mine is between 600-700metres so sounds similar to yours. It's very frustrating not being on an LLU exchange and thereby being able to take full advantage of such a short line.

Sorry, maybe I should have said I know the general principals behind interleaving ... but generally expect it to be controlled by the DSLAM in the exchange. Indeed, my router is reporting 'fast' rather than 'interleave' - so shouldn't these values be zero?
But there again, it's been a long day and I'm probably missing something fundamental here!

That's a very good point you make and frankly, I don't have a sensible answer for that!
