Received an email about this and would like to know if it is going to affect the DM200. I couldn't find any info if it has an Intel chipset and trying to reach Netgear but without success.
AAPT wishes to advise that nbn™ is implementing a SOS (Save our Showtime) and ROC (Robust Overhead Channel) upgrade of VDSL2 (FTTN/FTTB) services (SOS/ROC Upgrade). The purpose of the upgrade is to prevent dropouts due to sudden large noise bursts, thereby improving service stability. The SOS/ROC Upgrade is expected to commence on 1 July 2021.
How Does This Affect You?
The SOS/ROC Upgrade will affect customers who have deployed Metanoia or Intel chip set devices. nbn™ advises that Metanoia and Intel chip set devices will be affected as follows:
- Metanoia SFP devices will fail to negotiate and cause a hard down outage; and
- Intel chip set devices will become unstable, causing a higher percentage of dropouts and service instability.
