If you're on an ECI cabinet get something with the Lantiq chipset. If it's a Huawei cab, make that something with a Broadcom chipset. The Draytek Vigor 130, as mentioned above, is good for ECI cabs while the Huawei HG612 Openreach modem is recommended for Huawei cabs of course. Openreach does an ECI version too (the ECI B-Focus V-2) but I don't know much about it.

 

I've personally got a Huawei HG612, my ISP combo (BT Smart Hub) and a TP Link W9970 which I like because it's small, provides the same level of performance as the HG612, can be used as a combo or in bridge mode (something sorely missed from the BT combos) and it's cheap brand new too. It offers the best of both worlds if you ever need an extra router/access point or if you want a modem only behind your R1.

Oh I apologise. I don't hear of many users of VDSL outside of the UK for some reason. Australia maybe? I'm not sure if it's the same setup over there with regards to cabinets or "nodes" but the TP Link or Draytek should still be good options. I like my TP Link simply because it can be used as an all in one if you need it, but it can be put into bridge mode easily for use behind the R1.

Jettman is not from the UK guy's.

Yeah, that's why I suggested the draytek vigor 130 as an option as draytek have a large operation out in Australia.
