BRAS 21CN-BRAS-RED3-2401-FK
« on: December 23, 2015, 01:29:07 PM »

One of my three BRASs has just changed to 21CN-BRAS-RED3-2401-FK. Anyone know where that is?

FK = Falkirk. Would that make sense geographically ??

@BlackSheep  Falkirk was my guess. All three used to be in Edinburgh, until this one was changed.

Guessing, would RED be Redback Networks?

"Falkirk" which should be "Fawkirk" as it was assumed that speakers were failing to pronounce an  /L/ !

"An Eaglais Bhreac" in Gaelic iirc (the speckled church)

[now how's that for off-topicness, but I just could not resist]

No idea mate, not my 'thang'. There are lots of Red networks (and Black methinks), and I think it's just an indicator of the virtual path your circuit takes ??

All pure guesswork.

I get higher sync rates due to ADSL2, but it's such a slow line (~2 Mbps) that it's the DSL link that is the limiting factor.

The change of BRAS was carried out by BT, presumably, rather than by Andrews and Arnold.

Hope I understood your point correctly.
