Hello everyone,
I have already been hammering the irc channel with my problem but unfortunately as of today I am still unable to connect the modem to my BT Infinity Broadband.
I am using PPoE, Annex B, VDSL and tone a.
As login credentials... here comes the fun stuff. If I use: "username bthomehub@btinternet.com; password bt", it seems like the modem does authenticate and connect with the cabinet, acquires CGN IP and Public IP but hang up few ms later.
Instead if I use my BT login credentials, the modem connects to a sort of testings environment which does not serve any internet traffic whatsoever and default every requests to 62.6.38.125, which if you open it via browser it will tell you that you are connected to a testing environment kind of like.
Following is my current setup as well as useful logs:

Also, when I try to connect with the actual BT username and password one should use for PPoE, this message "[ 756.062794] pppoe-wan: renamed from ppp0" is spammed endlessly in serial console. Instead if I use my BT credentials it will just be displayed once and after connection is established.
So far login with my BT credentials is the only way to keep the modem connected, but than again I have no use of it as it is a testing environment.
I have been onto this for the past 3 days and I am very close to give up, sadly. At least I want to know whether BT is at blame, if there is a configuration issue, or if openwrt is not compatible with BT Infinity or what. Oh yes, I used both latest realest and latest snapshot but made no difference.
Lastly I tried few fws with vectoring enabled from here https://xdarklight.github.io/lantiq-xdsl-firmware-info but made no difference.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
