So it's no longer only about the CP supplied devices conforming, it now also makes ISPs add clauses to their contracts with end users. Perhaps they are trying to become stricter about enforcing only using devices that have passed MCT.
They have also added:
>> BT determines that a device (whether a CP Device or any other device) is continuing to cause harm to the BT
>> Network or to other End Customers’ experience of the BT Network, BT may (if reasonably
>> deemed necessary by BT) disconnect such device from the BT Network to protect its integrity.
Which somehow wasn't there before, although I thought they've been similar claims that BT could do that already.
Thanks ejs.
Good! Openreach need to get on and deal with it.
It's now well over 3yrs (nrly 4) since the initial roll out of g.INP. It's damn annoying that a large portion of EU's still do not have access to g.inp & 'x'dB because a 'few' modems are incompatible.
Not only that.. we are well aware of the impact certain ASUS modems (should the EU configure it in a certain way) could negatively impact all other neighbouring lines/those on the same line card.
I really don't want Openreach to dictate which modems EU's should use, but this step may encourage all router manufacturers to apply for MCT so that the customer knows that the router they buy at PCWorld or Amazon is certified with Openreach. Thinking about it, it may actually encourage manufacturers to produce decent f/w... because surely they don't wouldn't want it to get out that their modems don't work with 'BT'.
