Talktalk: are you what they call a peripheral subscriber?
« on: May 17, 2014, 09:08:03 AM »
According to this recent article in the Daily Telegraph business pages, they are the ones who are not on LLU lines.

Talktalk is to sell them to Sky as unprofitable. In addition its equipment will not be installed in further exchanges.

Well that does not include me as I'm LLU'd. Altough I have no interest in their TV product I might be interested in Fibre although it will be hard to justify to SWMBO as she seems quite happy with what we have now.

Wouldn't be too surprised if sky pick them up.  If bt do, then someone somewhere will only kick up a fuss.

Not surprised; from a techie perspective at least.

BT CP diagnostics (KBD in this instance I guess?) is a bit like ringing up your gran and asking her to read you the instructions to re-program your TV remote. It's a huge barrier to swift and effective fault resolution and if you're unfortunate enough to use a crap intermediary CP this process becomes a tad frustrating.

Direct access to the BT IPstream/WBC kit would make my life infinitely easier. Does such a thing exist? What about TAM/CIDT/Celerity logs? :P

I better check my guinea pig is LLU'd and not in the WBC MAX bin too! Might explain why I can't force an ADSL2 synch :o

Thats why I left TalkTalk two years ago, they kept saying my exchange may become unbundle soon, and if you look they won't take on any new IPstream customers as they lose money.
