GCHQ should take complete control of the BT Group! 

[ryant704]

They probably already do...

'We the people' do own it, thanks to Margaret. If BT do well, the shareholders do well.
It would be nice to let Bald Eagle run the company for a wee while, at least until he got FTTP (oD) installed !!!

It would be nice to let Bald Eagle run the company for a wee while, at least until he got FTTP (oD) installed !!!

  Very, very bad idea, commercially! 

I would have them investigating faults thoroughly & getting them fixed in a timely manner.

The group would be bankrupt within 6 months.
(Unless they gave me FTTP (oD) in week one).
I'd then be like the rest - not giving a monkey's about anyone else

Thanks BS, my exchange is on that list which might explain my earlier post (Saturday) saying I now have a "date". Still 31st March 2014 though. 

Any particular reason (or benefit/issue) for having Huawei when most currently seem to be ECI?

[Black Sheep]

  I have no idea how the vendor is chosen, but I think you'll find most of this forums contributors on FTTC, prefer Huwaei. Especially, as it apparently has 'vectoring' capabilities within its build ?? I'm sure I read that somewhere on here, but apologies if it's incorrect.
Take the plunge sir, you'll not regret it. 

[HPsauce]

Take the plunge sir, you'll not regret it. 

I've got to "escape" from Be/Sky first. 
That will probably happen some time in the next few months, with PlusNet looking the best bet as then (hopefully) a subsequent FTTC migration "should" be relatively trouble-free. 

[burakkucat]

Re: vectoring.

Neither of the current two types of DSLAM fitted to the FTTCs (Huawei SmartAX MA5616 and ECI Hi-FOCuS M41) are capable of vectoring. Both types of cabinet would need significant electronics upgrades (replacement of the DSLAMs) before that technique could be deployed. 

I know that Asbokid will be able to expand on the details . . . 

[ColinS]

I would refer my esteemed furry friend to the following http://www.scribd.com/doc/126007087/Huawei-SmartAX-MA5616-Hardware-Description-V800R310C00-02 which I believe is the source [at Page 7, Section 1 Chassis] of the following statement "An MA5616 supports common and enhanced subracks. If an enhanced subrack is used, the control board, service boards, and software versions of the MA5616 V800R311 can be used to support the vectoring function" 

[burakkucat]

Ah yes, the subrack. So that item of hardware needs to be retro-fitted to the SmartAX MA5616s and then Huawei equipped cabinets will be capable of supporting vectoring.

Thank you, ColinS.

'We the people' do own it, thanks to Margaret. If BT do well, the shareholders do well.

Actually, BS, you might remember that 'we, the people' used to own it before Margaret.  Now, as you say, it's the shareholders who do, who are at best a small subset of 'we, the people'.
