For what its worth I contacted ofcom, gave them the technical details, and they told me its a detriment to the service and as such people could exit without penalty.
The problem is exit to where? There's no other provider around here, so its Openreach or nothing. I would imagine a good portion of the population are in the same position as no alternative
This is very different to things like crosstalk, because if g.inp is enabled on ECI cabs with interleaving fallback on the upstream, then thats something entirely in openreach's control.
Yes I agree and thats what some people dont seem to understand is that to some users it will be a degradation of their service. Going off BobPullens stats its 10Mbps of speed and more than doubling of latency.
I had to stop reading over there, because I dont have time nor inclination to argue the toss with the Im alright jack & the I know more than you do brigade. Someone mentioned to me tonight that theyve had to stop posting there because of attitude, and just a couple of days ago someone else remarked on the change of the forums.
Anyhow Im glad that Openreach have pulled it for now and I hope that they can come up with a satisfactory solution. atm the only way I can think is by messing with the DLM. Im still not understanding properly how the upstream from the DSLAM will affect. BT are currently seemingly under the impression that its only affecting the EU's upstream on the ECI modems, when weve seen that its affecting both, so the information so far is all rather confusing and why Im hoping to be able to get some answers. Whether I will or not remains to be seen, but hopefully my questions have been passed to the person who should know.
They were probably just testing if it connected ok, and level of fault reports.
Most likely
The proper way to trial is ask the tech savvy users to test and be open with what you doing.
Agree 100%
