Hi All, There was a discussion here about the withdrawal of Openreach modems and the approvals of alternative hardware a few months ago. We're new to unbundling, and I'm having trouble getting Openreach to approve a modem at the moment so we can start a pilot. We're offered two routes; either submit samples for testing or picked from the approved list.
I tried to get a very vanilla Technicolor TG588v V2 approved which is on the published list. OR tell me that the firmware version I submitted is not approved, although all I did was submit the version from a new unit bought from a distributor and advertised as "approved". Would anyone here be able to own up to submitting this device to OR and sharing the firmware versions with us? OR will not tell me the approved version! I've seen on a BT Wholesale factsheet the software version as 15.3. Mine has that. The failure is to do with the "firmware version" which is reported by the device as 15.43.6330-1341001. I was also chastised for calling it a Technicolor TG588v V2 and was told it was a TG588v2 which I cannot find reference to. Can anyone shed any light?
