When might Eircom to enable vectoring on their eFibre/VDSL service?

Hi OcocO,

You are right I couldn't post the image...even the url for the forum/msg boards because I am a new user but below are what the router shows me:

Line standard VDSL2
Channel type None
Downstream line rate (kbit/s) 51197
Upstream line rate (kbit/s) 20479
Downstream attainable data rate(kbit/s) 88660
Upstream attainable data rate(kbit/s) 29538
Downstream SNR (dB) 14.2
Upstream SNR (dB) 9.2
Downstream line attenuation (dB) 12.2
Upstream line attenuation (dB) 4.1
Downstream output power (dBmV) 13.2
Upstream output power (dBmV) -4.3
Downstream CRC 2
Upstream CRC 2
Downstream FEC 241271
Upstream FEC 83336

Would it be worth calling Vodafone? What would adaptive rate do for me? Also can they get vectoring turned on if its off?

Again, thanks for the help!

Thanks so much for the info guys. Rang Vodafone's tech support, they said they could upgrade my profile, but needed to do a sync test, unfortunately because I just got my fibre connection yesterday it was not up on the system to do the test yet. Told me to call back next week but I did ask if I could get a 80/20 fixed if it passed and they said that would be no problem. I would be totally happy with that....like I said I never expected to get 100mbs. When I has DSL it synced at 12 but only used to get around 8 in tests, and I used to get hit bad at peak times. Hopefully they will be able to upgrade it. Had to sign up for an 18month contract to get free router and installation, asked what would happen if I broke the contract and like what Eircom do now they would charge for the remaining time left on the contract. Something to be very clear when you sign up as I broke an Eircom contract and got hit with a €300 bill...I had moved house and that reset my contract to start again.

heres my stats from my vodafone router, ive already rang vodafone about getting the profile changed to be told that eircom have the line locked to 50/15 and i know this is bull as i had magnet 70mb fatpipe up till the start of this year and was on a 50/20 profile. what can i do about that?

Old magnet router stats where

Line Rate (Down / Up) 50174 Kbps / 20478 Kbps
Noise Margin (Down / Up) 9.3 dB / 9.1 dB
Attenuation (Down / Up) 14.2 dB / 5.2 dB
Power (Down / Up) 12.4 dBm / 1.6 dBm



with the massive difference between pings and small increase in snr can i take it that vectoring is enabled on that line?

and heres the vodafone stats

ah but is it switched on????

He's on 100Mb. Above 70 isnt available on non vectored cabs.

Not on in Newtownforbes longford yet. Same Snr as always same sync too

Has there been any new plans/updates for lines connected via the exchange?

Some of the exchanges now have cabinets inside them and some trials are ongoing. So hopefully there will be a roll out soon countrywide.

The remaining big questions with the vdsl rollout in general are:

When will direct fed exchanges lines be enabled for vdsl

When will system level vectoring be enabled

Digiweb have got new modems, its the Technicolor TG589vn V3

i was sent one out in the post, will post back here on Monday or Tuesday when i receive it with results and my opinion of the modem

hope so, i am currently using the eircom f1000, because it gives me gud speeds, i will see if this new Technicolor TG589vn V3 gives the same results

Existing customers still have the fritz box. Tech support just told me that a new batch of modems arrived.

I do not know if they are permanent.

Regarding the fritz box, the speed was terrible since version 6.03 and have failed to fix it on the next to iterations. 6.05 is the current version and it only gives me half what my line can hold (40mb).

With the eircom F1000 I am getting 77 mb.

That's a pretty decent raise in SNR - it should translate into a better profile (although perhaps only rate adaptive, which, for my line, has been great) assuming that there's no basis to that "Eircom's locked your line speed" dubiousness. You could push for 60/20 anyway.

Fantastic increase in ping as you say . I couldn't be absolutely certain that vectoring is enabled on your line as the recent g.INP implementation also boosted people's stats but I would guess that it has. Vodafone have access to the database of which cabs have vectoring active and which don't - last I checked with them though, the database was far from fully populated. Give them a ring again and ask them to check it if you're sufficiently curious.

well after the 5th time trying to get my profile changed to a rate adaptive one, a agent at vodafone clearly said hes trying to put me on the highest profile for my cab that was 70/20 so it appears that my cab in drogheda has not had vectoring enabled yet and i will be stuck with 50/15 for the time being

a friend on the next cab up the road from me has eircom and evision, hes on a 40/15 profile and his stats say the attainable is 88mb down and 24mb up with a SNR of 20+ if i remember right, could his be enabled?

Not necessarily, but it could be. Attains can go over 70 without vectoring, just not the profiles.

i see, thanks. ill be keeping a eye on my stats over the coming weeks and see if anything changes

wonder how many cabinets in drogheda are 100mb enabled, it says on the eircom wholesale website that 16290 premises in this exchange can now access up to 100Mb/s fibre broadband
