Edit - I may be talking nonsense, which isn't unusual
It looks as though I'm on the new network now:
root@nuthatch:/home/eric# traceroute -I ntp.plus.net
traceroute to ntp.plus.net (212.159.13.50), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
1 home.gateway.home.gateway (192.168.1.254) 0.550 ms 0.551 ms 0.941 ms

In my case it was quite seamless. A couple of nights ago I noticed that, according to http://usertools.plus.net/@gateway I'd been moved from ptw-bng01 to pcl-ag03, and the above traceroute resulted.
Im with Al1264, that doesnt look like dedicated Im afraid.
Sorry to appear dumb, but what element of the gateway or tracert tells you you are on the new WBMC network?
I am:
currently connected to gateway pcl-bng03. This is located in City Lifeline House.
And:
Tracing route to ntp.plus.net [212.159.13.49] over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 3 ms 1 ms 1 ms BThomehub.home [192.168.1.254]
2 8 ms 8 ms 8 ms lo0.10.central12.pcl-bng03.plus.net [195.166.130.166]
3 9 ms 9 ms 9 ms irb.12.pcl-cr02.plus.net [84.93.249.114]

The gateway isnt the giveaway, you need to be looking at the routing prior to the the gateway.
+1 HPSauce's query above.
Sorry if I was a bit brief with "If you are on dedicated then you will see a hop with a private IP eg 172.17.xx" although that is the most obvious.
The full signs which give it away are in this post I made on the
6th of JanWhat you are looking for is an ICMP response somewhere in the 6/7/8 ms region (if you aren't interleaved) as this is the average time for the majority of lines to be able to reach one of the Interconnect nodes.
You are also very likely to see the BTw Interconnect routers listed as a hop, but these usually dont respond to ICMP.
As well as the 172.x address at the Interconnect node, you will also probably see a 172.x address at the place of exit off the core which will take a few ms more, but be about the same time or within 1ms as the gateway hop.
I know the above description is vague, but its more about the timings and at the moment the 172.x private addresses. This could change because they could later assign a proper address to those 172.x hops.
