No: I've not booked a flight to Switzerland to "die with dignity". Dignity would be very out of character.

Rather, at last, I'm going FTTC, supposedly on 23 April delayed from 16th. There's no nail biting on that! The symptoms of onychophagia I'm currently suffering are because we have both an ECI and a Huawei cab.

[Moderator edited to change £CI to ECI.]

As long as the Huawei is live you should end up on that, it will be interesting to find out which one you end up on  though

[tubaman]

I had to look up that big word  - do try not to bite them all off!
Fingers crossed you get the Huawei.

It's been there since October '16 so I hope it is, as CodeLook also says expanded Jan '17.

"So, there are more than one of who has a dictionary in the house" Uttered in my best Beattie voice.

I had to also look up that word,  via Google.

I too use Google as my dictionary of choice.

The inevitable questions . . .

With which ISP/CP? What CPE (if any) will the ISP/CP provide? Which underlying Openreach product? (18/2, 40/2, 40/10, 55/10 or 80/20 Mbps DS/US?)

Plusnet; 40/10; Plusnet Hub One, but opted out of, as I believe it's not great though  dual band., and i have the Billion 8800NL

[burakkucat]

I would, by instinct, decline any ISP/CP provided equipment. The Plusnet Hub One is just a re-badged BT Home Hub, so it's nothing special.

As for using the Billion 8800NL it is important to remember to configure a VLAN, tagged as 101. Otherwise it is quite straightforward to set up for a FTTC service (so I'm told).

I've already taken note of PN's set up instructions.

0o00 welcome to the dark side 

Whilst I can understand the nail-biting for ECI v Huawei at the end of the day, the speeds should still be better than ADSL.  What connection speed do Openreach anticipate for your line?

[renluop]

Code: [Select]

                      High Low High  Low
VDSL Range A (Clean) 40 27.4 7.8 5.3 22.4
VDSL Range B (Impacted) 30.1 16.5 7.2 3.6 13.1

[burakkucat]

So taking the "High"s from the "(Clean)" and the "Low"s from the "(Impacted)" we see ranges from 16.5 to 40 Mbps DS and from 3.6 to 7.8 Mbps US.

and? What's your thinking, please? Premier feline of this house!
