This I agree with ^ , although I think things may have started to go to pot after the ASSIA case.
- They did a botch job with g.inp mkII to 'fix' what was happening with the many modems that weren't fully capable of performing retransmission in both directions.
- They also appear to have done a botch job with capping NGA lines after the ASSIA court case.

Sorry maybe I didn't make myself clear - Stuart was
specifically talking about the Wide Area Event system which is what I was responding to.
The Wide Area Event detection is afaik unique to BT systems and is one area where IMHO it is better than the other systems which take no account of such things happening locally. When I said "
lower the algorithm trigger a little so it catches more events" I was talking about Wide Area Event detection.
The wide area event thing is one of the good things - the capping and g.inp botch job things are total muck ups and not at all beneficial.
I've said many times I dislike how INP is applied by default after a reset*, and the line rate capping is unjust in many cases.
*I may have done a rambling post somewhere, why they may be applying INP, but thats not to say I agree with the INP by default. IMHO it was just a botch to get G.INP back asap.
Like you I agree they need to sit down and do a total rework of the DLM actions for the NGA system and steps it takes - unfortunately until they at least get both ECI and Huawei systems both behaving in a similar way, then I dont think they will
