I think it tells us when we do a line test if the firmware needs updating. Give me 5 minutes to run a test.

The test hasn't completed correctly, but the modem should have the latest firmware on. If you want to double check that it does, I beleive it updates on a reconnection, so you can perform a single power off/on and it should be fine.

Not always, it might just be because we're still finalising the order. I wouldn't worry too much unless you start to have issues with the service.

Re: how do i check my modem software is upto date

I would like to ask if this modem update is realy needed because since having my line sorted out my connection has been very very very stable no d/c or drops but the internal test that was done says i need to update the modem.
As my line has been working like it should for over 473 hours i refuse to turn the modem off incase my profile messes up.

Unless you have the Huawei (HG612) BT modem & flashed it with a hacked version of the firmware then your modem will at some point have it's firmware upgraded remotely by BT  if it hasn't already been upgraded  as the last firmware upgrade as far as I'm aware of was last year several months ago

I've run another test for you, but this also failed to complete. However, I don't think the firmware will make any difference in this case.
