I am not that interested in unlocking this modem for stats, I only want it to replace my ECI modem (I am on Huawei cabinet).
Can I use it as it is and benefit from it being G.INP compatible?
I saw one on ebay that is apparently manufactured at the end of 2013 and hasn't been used. I am guessing it would not have the latest updates from Openreach and if so, would those updates be pushed automatically to it once it's connected (overnight, for example) or not? If not, would I have to flash it myself? Thanks.

If the worse comes to the worse, i'll plug in as is; it's surely better than the ECI modem, even in an unlocked state.
Cheers everyone.....but I may be back again!!

Huawei = Broadcom Chipset
ECI = Lantiq Chipset
As for G.INP, I don't think it would be activated overnight. You might have to wait a while for it to kick in or push an update to your HG612 if you have no intention of unlocking it.
Also if you have no intention of unlocking it, I have no idea how you intend to find out if your line has G.INP other than pestering the forum staff and asking them for a line check to see if you have retransmission.
If you do change your mind and unlock the HG612 then you have some software at your disposal which makes reading stats and monitoring infinitely easier.

I am just guessing that I have G.INP enabled on cabinet and I have lost a chunk of speed and my latency gone up like for so many people with ECI modems, completely out of the blue after many months of solid connection. I spoke to Plusnet about it when it happened and they said that everything is fine with my line as far as they are concerned.
I am guessing that even with Huawei I would not be immune from this gateway palaver that is currently affecting the network.

Quote from: robbiecollie hi copy this link and down load the firmware also the instructions are within the firmware
Are you aka rolocollie in MWDS?
If so, it appears that you have had G.INP enabled whilst connected to an ECI DSLAM.
As far as I am aware, that would make you the first user I have seen 'out in the wild' with G.INP enabled whilst connected to an ECI DSLAM.

Has it been mentioned previously that ECI DSLAMS are now starting to deliver G.INP?
If so, I must have missed it.

There is someone else that has already posted about having retransmission on an ECI cab on another forum and I believe he/she is in Martlesham.

Just go to change out the ECI and plug this in, then have a bash at getting some line stats.
Thanks again guys
