Hey James, controller VDSL 0 operating mode vdsl2 firmware filename flash:VA_A_39m_B_38h3_24h_o.bin modem UKfeature !
This particular image was recommended to me by someone that is a bit more familiar with BT last mile access than I am. IOS itself is down somewhere in the 15.6's. My usual response to wierd behaviour is to try upping the IOS version and see if it goes away. That is what I intend to try next - as soon as I can get my hands on a more recent image. Seems strange that the modem would prevent DNS from working though?
