We have configured many VDSL and FTTC services using this device in the past but never a GEA. Are you able to offer some guidance ?

However the back-haul across the country will depend on the distance just like the rest of the Ethernet services. On top of that the phone number is needed to check availability of the FTTC part and check which exchange to confirm if the back-haul is available at that exchange yet (slowly rolling out).RevKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369263214193333422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-85183265452724626142012-07-09T08:37:28.402+01:002012-07-09T08:37:28.402+01:00This is what is confusing me...
