Regarding this faulty
Ewhurstian circuit, I am also a recipient of the monitoring data.
Attached, below, are four representative images of the bRAS profile (cropped to remove any private, identifying information).
Points of technical interest to note are:
- The disconnected leg must be somewhere between the MSAN and the EU's NTE5/A, in the D-side of the pair -- as a disconnection in the E-side pair would not affect the broadband service.
- The differential mode circuitry deployed is not of the highest standard -- as sufficient coupling of the VDSL2 signal allows the broadband service to operate in severely degraded mode.
- With one leg disconnected, the common mode rejection (of induced 'noise') is non-existent.
As is well known,
Walter's wheelbarrow is regularly trundled around the village of
Ewhust and its outlying environs. It is also, I believe, fairly well known the
b*cat makes a regular inspection of items up for auction on
eBay. Having just got back from my most recent tour of inspection, I would like to ask if fellow Kitizens would be prepared to join me in purchasing a new
Openreach Vauxhall Vivaro, which is currently up for auction and then lend it to
Walter for his use around and about
Ewhurst?

Openreach technician has been rather clumsy in loosing his new van but, assuming it was not
Black Sheep nor one of his fellow flock members, I will not feel guilty in having 'first rummage' through the test equipment, 'gubbins' & stock that will be stashed in the back and adding certain interesting items to my grotto.
