An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for data acquisition. The method includes the following steps: transmitting a request message for acquiring line parameters to a central-office end access apparatus, and obtaining a time parameter T1 when the line parameter acquisition is started; receiving line parameter information reported by the central-office end access apparatus, and obtaining a time parameter T2 of a line; and comparing the time parameter T1 with the time parameter T2 of the line, and saving the received line parameter information if the time parameter T1 is larger than the time parameter T2 of the line. Embodiments of the present disclosure further provide an apparatus and a system for data acquisition.
