Ha ha ....... if only that were true, NS ?
I would suggest a helluva lot of Kitizens gain knowledge from Eric and Paul's stat-harvesting programmes. Alas, I would also humbly suggest that only OR Engineers who have decided to 'crack' their own modem/hub in order to run the programmes, would acquire that same knowledge ??
Why they might do this when they have a JDSU/EXFO in their possession, I don't know ??
I've always commented on here that stats are not the
be all and end all, and real life on-site tests also need to be carried out. But I've also come round to the fact that they
are a great help (especially when REIN faulting) to get an overview of a circuits performance. Especially so since I gained access to part of the GEA tools (DLM, Rambo, RRT).
The problem with purely relying on graphical data, is the vast amount of unknowns at the time it was harvested, and issues local to that area ??
There's a million reasons as to why something un-toward may happen ....... cable change-overs, underground excavations, electrical storms, HAM enthusiasts, congestion, server issues, service outages, VPN issues, REIN, X-Talk ........ and network faults, EU mis-operation, faulty routers, faulty flters ........... the list is endless.
If one is viewing stats with the mind-set any change is to be investigated, then you end up with a Polish accent ( A joke at Konrados expense - no harm intended at all
).
They play a part, a big part ....... but should always ultimately be a piece of the pie, not the whole pie !!
That said, I too think Eric should maybe walk up to the contractors as they're installing the FTTC and say, "Do you know who I am ?? Yeah ..... well get that 80/20Meg up to my gaffe asap !!".
Gotta say though, I am excited for Eric, as I was Kitz when she was getting FTTC.
Just need B*Cat to get it now.
