TalkTalk's DLM for G.992.1/G.992.3/G.992.5 Circuits
« on: January 31, 2017, 07:31:51 AM »

New TalkTalk dynamic line management (DLM) tool to be introduced for February

TalkTalk has introduced a new DLM tool for its copper broadband lines which will be in place between now and the end of February. If you're an engineer working on a TalkTalk copper broadband line and a fault is found this is what you need to do.

Contact the TalkTalk agent for a co-op requiring a DLM action as before. The TalkTalk agent will determine which DLM system the line is on and carry out the necessary action. The agent will then take actions on the new DLM which will be slightly different but will enable the line to be optimised (opposed to reset) within one minute if the fault has been resolved.

One question here, since TT will be able to action DLM does this mean that should a line have issues they will be able to action DLM without intervention of BTOR?

That has always been the case with ISP owned DLM's.

So just to clarify TT own both the current and new DLM so they can do with it what they want when they want without reference to BTOR and this could include any action at all? Could they for example remove a cap/band or implement one?

This is an important point considering what TT have told me in the past and the likely argument I am about to have with them.

This specifically states COPPER broadband, i.e. ADSL.

FTTC is delivered over copper though

Yes my assumption was that when they say copper broadband it means anything delivered over the copper from the cabinet, both all flavours of ADSL and FTTC which is over copper for the last part. So this needs clarifying as well.

Without getting bogged down in semantics, the term "copper" is generally accepted as ADSL, just as the term "fibre" is generally accepted as FTTC.

Whilst I agree that is indeed the norm I need to be 100% sure of my ground before talking to TT hence asking the question.

Be 100% sure - copper refers to exchange-based ADSL only. Fibre refers to FTTC/P.

Reading your signature this doesn't change your situation in any way.

Indeed, Talktalk have always run their own LLU ADSL DLM system. It's much better than the BTw system in that you can turn the bloody thing off.

Even if they wanted to, Talktalk can't just make their own DLM for FTTC. OpenReach own and run the FTTC network very differently. There's just not the flexibility for an ISP to customise GEA-FTTC. It's OpenReach's DSLAM (Fibre cabinet) unlike LLU ADSL where the ISP owns their own equipment in the exchange.

A bit late to the party, but if you think about it you can only have one DLM system in the street cabinet.

I thought it is possible to switch off the BTWholesale ADSL2+ DLM. The old way was with custom thresholds, and I think there's a newer way now to just turn it off.
