WR44 with VDSL/DSL - any known issue with SOGEA-FTTC - also can anyone provide view on what the Estimate Loop Length indicates?

Modem to DSLAM distance?

Firmware Version : SW 1.11  
Operational Mode : VDSL2 Profile 17A  
Remote Vendor ID : IFTN  
Est’d Loop Length (ft) : 1560

Unit will SYNC on TalkTalk-FTTC service but fails on BT SOGEA-FTTC (No PSTN element)

Is the Modem in the Digi looking for any “Analogue” tones/conditions.

Unit details as follows:-

Unit has been defaulted to “Factory” - connects and syncs to TTB service with ZERO config -apply VDSL Configuration

Output below:-

ss541313\>eth 12 status  
Activation Status : Active  
Connection Status : Connected  
Physical Port : VDSL  
MAC : 00 04 2D E8 42 81  
IP Address : 92.30.210.226  
Mask : 255.255.240.0  
DNS Server : 79.79.79.79  
Secondary DNS Server : 79.79.79.80  
Gateway : 92.30.208.1  
DHCP Server : 92.30.208.1  
Lease Remaining (mins) : 8

Final Points

1. BT WLR/SOGEA Service passes KDB line test - Terminating NTE is a NTE5C unit is connected directly to that unit.
2. Cisco C887 and Cisco C927 both SYNC noted zero errors and Line Speeds as per supplier stated expected rates Downstream 65Mbps Upstream 16.5Mbps
