2.32e firmware slower than Hub 5 Fixed Yet ?

[Eddman]

Hi

Any update on the poor performance from the AXL8800 compared with BT Hub 5

Put back the 8800 tonight to try it and much slower than Hub 5

BT Hub 5
Sync 72mb for 25+ days

8800
sync 67mb

Spot the difference !!

My line is good no drop outs stable as a rock.
In Master socket, so can only be down to poor performance from Billion 8800 or its firmware.
seems to have gone down hill since last firmware upgrade or should I say down grade
I will leave it on for a few days see it improves if not back in box and put on ebay

Shame as my last Billion knocked sots off any other router guess just down to poor design or build.

Try using the attached firmware

[underzone]

Do you have a beta of the next release to try instead?

[Eddman]

Hi
Many thanks for the new firmware
did not make any difference to sync speed in fact it was another 1MB lower.
Though uploads are quicker.

I will give it a couple of days to see if it settles down.

I don't have any newer firmware then 2.32e

Hi Billion Man

Are they planning to fix the poor performance issue ?
Are they aware of the poor performance issue. I run DSL Stats 24/7 if they need any line stats
It should equal or better than a HH5 using the same chip set. not 10mb slower
Happy to try any beta firmware if they are coming out soon.
Other wise will go back to HH5 and get back 10mbs

Right now the issue is isolated to one or two customers, you being the only one that has lost 10mbps (most others lost a 1mb on the upload etc, so it could be other external factor effecting the performance) all others are uneffetced

Once I get any beta firmware, this will be the first place to post it, so you can others can test it out and see how it goes.

Hi Eddman, I have almost the same stats as you and I am wondering if you have a type B homehub 5 as I am interested in buying one now to get extra sync. I actualiy have an almost identical line to you except a little lower attenuation.

Hi

yes it is a HH5 B with broadcom chip set. same as Billion but seems to get a better speed.
Pity as spent over 100 quid on Billion and get better speed on free router from BT.
Maybe one day Billion will fix the EPP problem (end user poor performance).
Who knows

My homehub 5 is arriving today I really hope its a type B tho. Free of charge of course as my Type A went faulty After I plug it in ill post the stats here and see if there is a problem with the billion products.
