    BT trialling G.Fast + FTTdp in the UK with Huawei:

    http://www.techweekeurope.co.uk/news/huawei-gfast-fttdp-copper-bt-129855

    Significant for us as Huawei is also Eircoms partner for their FTTC rollout.

    BTW I'm not saying they will 100% use G.Fast/FTTdp, it is only on average 15% cheaper then FTTH. So more likely they will use it in combination with FTTB and FTTH depending on each install.


    Given the very small % of people living in apartments in Ireland FTTB will have very little impact. We've the lowest % of apartment dwellers in the EU (by a long shot) only Noway (in the EEA) comes close.

    We need to be looking at something pole mountable or that can be dropped into existing vaults.

    In-fill mini cabinets might be a good interim step to get it down to at least a per street level.

    I think beyond that you might as well go to FTTH as we mostly don't have sufficient density to get much beyond that with copper.

    You could see limited applications for g.fast but to get it to work in Ireland would require ludicrous numbers of nodes. You might as well just have FTTH.

    Apartment buildings seem to be the only logical place for G.Fast.

    I still think coax and fibre are the best solutions for Ireland.

    Has anyone actually managed to get above the infamous 100Mb speed test yet? I know the Max package is 100Mb but I wonder is it similar to UPC the way you can actually get more than the package you're on?

    Actually mightn't be that bad in housing estates where wiring is carried to houses from the cabinet in ducts.

    You could probably avoid digging anything

    Direct buried phone lines (line laid in soil with no duct) is not common in Ireland.

    Also in overhead areas you've usually got ducts feeding the poles so only the last short run goes overhead.

    It's expensive, but I think it's quite doable.

    In housing estates where the wiring is in ducts, cost is less. Digging would be minimal, but there are many ducts that have been damaged due to the installation of cobblelock driveways, a major headache and cost to rectify. Direct buried lines are more prevalent than one might think. In my estamation, most dwellings that pre date 1990 are fed either by buried armoured lead or overhead wire. There are some exceptions but most are buried, with no duct line. In overhead areas in estates, the wring to the pole would be in ducts, but elsewhere it would most likely be overhead cable to the pole. There are also a lot of estates fed by slung lead, these are wires fed from a distribution point at the end of a block and then fed along facias or gutters into each subsequent house. One would be surprised how many dwellings that are not ducted. FTTH is a massive undertaking with enormous costs coupled with competition from Eircoms competitors. Maximizing the copper rather than FTTH is going to be here for a while.

    I can see the Esb running into the same problems when they try to do ftth too. Maybe this is completely wrong, but could the Esb run fibre to their on street cabinets and use the mains cable to make the final run into the premises? Something like a home plug setup? A bit like the way UPC do it.

    There is data over mains technology, but its not great. Unlikely anyone will try do broadband that way.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,088 ✭✭✭SpaceTime


    Data over power lines wasn't every really that effective in trials.

    The main reason being that power lines were never, ever designed for any kind of transmission of signals.

    They're big, heavy duty, unshielded and often unbalanced wires carrying hundreds of amps.

    You've also even got bleed from switch mode power supplies, electric motor control systems r etc etc making them quite noisy.

    UPC use coaxial cables designed originally to carry very high bandwidth and sensitive analogue TV signals.

    Eircom uses high quality twisted pair designed to carry voice and ISDN signals originally.

    ESB lines would have more in common with your front gate than a phone line. They're big heavy copper or aluminium wires.

    The connectors and junctions would be pretty crude too.

    I think my line is vectored but due to the length it looks like 60Mbit/s tops now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,401 ✭✭✭Nonoperational


    Has your attainable reduced aswell? It still just seems strange to me that most peoples attainables really improved after vectoring, yet a group had a reduction.

    I have asked Vodafone to set the SNR margin target to 6db on my line to see what happens to my speed. It is proving difficult though. At the end of the day the line checker says my line is capable of 50Mbit and that's what I am getting so nobody is interested in it beyond that. I suppose it is also possible that I have a line of poor quality, and there is definitely something a bit strange as my DS2 attenuation is higher than the DS3 and when INP was enabled it needs a better line than FEC and interleaving.

    I'd love to have a pint with somebody at an Eircom network management level who actually knows exactly what's going on...

    Its the VDSL Engineers that you'd want to have a Guinness with, the NOC staff are on a level above that.

    The SNR target would be set from the port config, thats a 2nd/3rd level support operation and if there isnt a big problem it'll never get that far.

    Have you compared stats with any neighbours? Itd be interesting to see if they're doing significantly better. If they were you might have a poor/damage drop wire from the pole/curb.

    So Still no sign of vectoring on my digiweb line here in letterkenny, but out home the eircom line has been upgraded and altho only on the 50 meg package is enjoying healthy pings with INP set to 29/29 with 0 delay.

    I have taken the F1000 router from home and plugged it into my digiweb line to see the line stats compared to that given by the fritz box and low and behold

    I haven't compared VDSL stats with the neighbours, but I know that for ADSL 2+ I was actually doing a little better than the guys next door.

    Maybe it's just the way the lines are joined coming into the apartment building that's giving the slightly odd attenuation figures, because I think it is costing me some attainable speed. Most people with a DS1 attenuation of 12 are getting attainables of over 80Mbit, mine ranges from 51 to 58 although before INP it was 62 Mbit with a much lower SNR (6.5db, now 10db). I am just assuming the changing of FEC and interleaving to INP gives better pings but needs a better quality line too and that would explain it.

    My attenuations are DS1 12.1, DS2 41, DS3 39. I just don't know how significant the DS2 band is for VDSL.

    It's a pity the Huawei can't show if vectoring is enabled or not, although I suspect it is since my SNR got a modest boost from 6.5 to 10.

    Still a chance vectoring is not on on the cabinet yet, a few numbers I have checked close to the cabinet all say max 70Mbit at the moment and most of them 50Mbit even apparently very close to cabinet. Hmmmmmmm....

    I'm with Vodafone, and I've been watching the stats of my Huawei modem change over the past month. I have pasted in a few profiles below. The attainable rates have been falling steadily, whilst the SNRs have been going up and down. Line attenuation remains fairly constant. Does anyone have an explanation for or insights into this behaviour? The pings on the bestaccording to Speedtest.net results are consistently around 6ms now, where they would have been several times higher before the vectoring kicked in.

    Basically nobody is sure why the attainables are dropping for some people. My guess is that with the replacing of FEC and interleaving with Impulse noise protection the attainables drop. There is also a possibility that vectoring itself has not been turned on on all cabinets. If you check the eircom site, it appears to say your max speed is 100Mbit is the cabinet has vectoring enabled, bit that is not necessarily very accurate.

    The attenuation will stay the same as it's based on line length and thickess.

    I think Vectoring has been enabled on my line (about 600m to cab)

    do you think I can get a faster profile?

    Supposed to be issues with vectoring compatibility with some of the other operators modems. Downstream rate is not differing. Problem will be if they increase your profile as your max rate is varying widely.

    So Still no sign of vectoring on my digiweb line here in letterkenny, but out home the eircom line has been upgraded and altho only on the 50 meg package is enjoying healthy pings with INP set to 29/29 with 0 delay.

    I have taken the F1000 router from home and plugged it into my digiweb line to see the line stats compared to that given by the fritz box and low and behold

    If I had digiwebs settings I could connect the line properly using the eircom router, but digiweb are obviously telling fibs here in order to prevent a better more costly service, or maybe im missing something?

    G vectoring is off.

    I think Vectoring has been enabled on my line (about 600m to cab)

    do you think I can get a faster profile?

    I doubt it: it looks like you're with Vodafone and your down SNR is only a little over 9, which is the current minimum that the line will sync at (with Vodafone anyway).

    Hi,

    Anyone in Ballsbridge/Shelbourne Road area noticed that vectoring has been switched on?


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,419 ✭✭✭irishgeo


    is it live in castlebar yet?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,709 ✭✭✭Deagol


    Anyone think it's possible / worthwhile trying to start a list of exchanges / boxes with Vectoring enabled? Similar to the Efibre enabled list last year??

    Is there even a definitive way to know? Looking at my F1000 I can't see anyway to tell unless you've recorded SNR's over time (which I haven't )

    Neither of which tells you anything about vectoring old bean....

    Yes, I think it would be useful to those who have modems that will not display whether vectoring is enabled or show the Attainable rate.
