In the absence of a formal 3dB profile could they perhaps be helped in some way by the various router bodges that seem to have been tried and tested? Or is that sufficiently "non standard" that it's procedurally unattractive for AAISP ?<br /><br />Meanwhile, the BTw latency issues aren't going away, but moving affected customers to TTw might address the customer and ISP problem from two directions - (a) provide customers a backhaul that works (b) show BT (trading as BTwholesale) and other ISPs that alternatives to BTw are practical without full LLU.<br />cjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12864716352761027073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-87252419718036646042015-04-14T13:54:00.530+01:002015-04-14T13:54:00.530+01:003db profile from TT has been on the cards for at l...3db profile from TT has been on the cards for at least 16 months, which is how long I've been with A&A.

However the SNR didn't vary very much over 24 hours so it was possible to squeeze the margin quite low without suffering drop outs. With a 3dB margin I got just over 3Mbps - not earth shattering but a 50% improvement.<br /><br />I have FTTC now, of course :)nowtotallyhackedoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06687184924812362495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-39561926844773628732015-04-13T22:35:46.381+01:002015-04-13T22:35:46.381+01:00So in summary then, would it be fair to say that n...So in summary then, would it be fair to say that nothing much has improved since your "21cn not fit for purpose" post in February 2014 when you pointed out that AAISP were observing the effects of BTw backhaul congestion and that (at least initially) senior BT staff denied that was even possible?<br /><br />Or have I misunderstood?<br /><br />http://www.revk.uk/2014/02/bt-21cn-not-fit-for-purpose.html<br /><br />Still, at least by the miracle of the private sector, this bunch of cowboys aren't being given the benefit of any taxpayers money.<br /><br />What's that you say?<br /><br />Oh.<br /><br />Default supplier of broadband and telephony to the naive, ill-informed, and/or desperate?cjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12864716352761027073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-34489109968199602762015-04-13T14:41:03.808+01:002015-04-13T14:41:03.808+01:00One stumbling block is the lack of a 3dB profile o...One stumbling block is the lack of a 3dB profile on TT ADSL2+, once we have that we have equiv ADSL2+ and plan to make it very much easier for people to switch over. I know most people will not want or need a 3dB profile, but it is a difference in what is available.RevKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369263214193333422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-12599741053453427072015-04-13T14:38:53.153+01:002015-04-13T14:38:53.153+01:00Is the specific case that you're referring to ...Is the specific case that you're referring to one of FTTC, adsl2+ or both? If adsl2+, why don't you permanently switch every customer affected to TalkTalk back-haul, thereby permanently removing some of BT's revenue?

It is one way to solve the BT back-haul issues in a simple way, we just need equivalent services which we nearly have.RevKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369263214193333422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-31286891710280028012015-04-13T14:06:15.108+01:002015-04-13T14:06:15.108+01:00I've never seen you talk about Talk Talk backh...I've never seen you talk about Talk Talk backhaul issues. Do they have their own backhaul or do they share with BT? And if they have their own, does it have enough capacity? Since we can't get FTTC on Talk Talk that ought to mean Talk Talk need less backhaul bandwidth, is that the case?Owen Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00890951742186614705noreply@blogger.com
