If there is no POTS service on the line, it wont have a number assigned to it.  I guess you'd need the service ID.

Seems they are now actively blocking IP addresses/ranges.

Quote from: Martin Pitt - Aquiss
Quote from: Ronski
As someone else said, is it possible they are blocking IP addresses which have used the service a little too much (and why block an ISP)

Yup they have confirmed they are. We have had to get a number of our IPs added to their whitelists this week via our BTW account manager.

Their blocks seem pretty wide too from what we can see, taking out complete IP ranges.

Link to above quote.

This course of action seems rather backwards, lets stop customers looking up what's available  :wall: Fair enough to temporarily ban IP addresses that are abusing the system, but this does not appear temporary.

I'm pretty sure I have changed IP fairly recently as I had a few DLM interventions recently and I dont always get the same IP, so either the previous user was banned or they have another way to tell perhaps buy post code since it always works up to the point you enter the post code and hit enter  >:(

What about the link you provided before?
Code: [Select]
http://www.dslcheckercat.bt.com/pls/adsl/ADSLChecker.TelephoneNumberOutput?TelNo=<number>&AEA=Y

Mine not working from this site, look BTw have blocked my IP address. The same goes to this site https://www.broadbandchecker.btwholesale.com/#/ADSL (not working) and this site https://www.openreach.com/fibre-broadband/ultrafast-full-fibre-broadband#fibrechecker (not working)

I be shocked if BTW and Openreach will blocked public IP address on permanently if all true.

A formal complaints to ofcom is my next action! They have NO RIGHTS to do this to public. I don't care if BTW or Openreach have the rights to blocked public IP Address!

What gives you the impression they have any obligation to give you access to THEIR database?

I'd wager at most they have to provide it to ISPs for them to lookup what product you can order, but beyond that its a courtesy.

If people are checking on it too often and using it to make everyones lives miserable, I can totally understand why they might decide to restrict it.

Stop this now, Max. Read again what Alex said a couple of messages ago. This is very bad behaviour and it will get you into trouble again. You have no right to that information, and bypassing the BTW and Openreach protective measures will do nobody any good. Stop now!

If they believe it is being abused they have every right to block IP addresses to preserve their service.
Max, you have a good working service tied to a 12 month contract so have no reason to be continually checking the Openreach availability sites. Please, for the sake of your own health, stop doing this.

Well I can't say I'm surprised you were warned. It is their service and they are entitled to do just what they have done.

You've been warned many times Max, so this outcome is no surprise. Don't let it happen again.

It's probably no bad thing, because keep checking it was unproductive and was only fuelling your obsession with speeds.
You've been told numerous times how it works and it is only an estimate based on your existing speeds and/or neighbouring lines.  Once you had your g.fast connection there should have been absolutely no need to check it again.    Now that you are blocked I can only hope it will be better for your mental health by not  looking at estimated figures on a daily basis, that actually serves no purpose once the line is connected and without faults.

Although they say contact your ISP, I sincerely hope that you are not doing that either. 
There will come a point when your ISP will become hacked off with requests for availability or GEA tests. A one-man-band ISP such as your current service provider is likely to get fed up much sooner than the likes of PN who have many staff.. and will get annoyed at how time consuming this process is.   

From what I have seen so far, your current ISP has been quite accommodating and exceedingly fair over the g.fast upgrade.   Don't push your luck Max, and ruin any good will.  Everyone reaches a point when patience wears thin and I'd hate you to find yourself in a situation like the boy who cried wolf, who ends up getting no help when it is actually needed.

Oh well, not to worry! I still very happy with G.fast very lucky to have it stable 221/30 (no issues) as for btw checker, gea test I don't need it anymore. Knowing G.fast will be fine. :)

I do think it will do me good that BTw has blocked it for my own good.

Anyway I enjoying play around with Windows 11  ;D

Thats good to hear.  Glad that you have found something else to play with and actually use the connection.

How, exactly, could BT Wholesale get your email address?
