I am reliably informed that CSPs look like this on the inside...

I had that problem a few years ago on a holiday to Canada, every single photo I took on my camera has a blue tint, turns out I had it set to fluorescent lighting. The photos are fixable, but there is an awful lot of them.

I would imagine the photo might have been taken in a shaded area under the fading evening light...  I think there may not have been enough reference for the Auto white balance algorithm to make much sense of the image...  :)

For what it's worth something like Adobe Lightroom should be able to batch correct those.

Well, 3 weeks in and I'm very impressed with the performance of the 900/115 service from Zen.  Seems to be working really well.  Most notice the performance on things I didn't think I would - like software updates that always seem to arrive at unhelpful times taking less time to download than I'm used to.

Only "outage" I've noted was a 4am maintenance I guess on something.  Not going to complain though as I seemed to very slightly improve my latency afterwards, can just about make out a slight step in the TBB graph.

FTTP connection has been rock solid for 2 months.  EE only want £20 to cancel the VDSL line contract (it was heavily discounted, so I owe them very little once they deduct their Openreach cost savings) so I've started a port of the landline number to A&A for VOIP which should initiate a cease on the old VDSL line.  Now just shopping for an economic 4G backup service - doesn't seem any point using FTTC backup given so many common points of failure with my FTTP line.  Discussion on that here: https://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,26059.0.html

Nice.   Thanks for the update and glad that it all worked out well.

Good luck with the landline transfer to AAISP
I need to start doing some serious research into VOIP and what can and cant be done.   Its complicated by the fact I have a calls alarm.   

On that subject, I was thinking we seem to be getting more discussions and queries about voice over IP and its a topic that I imagine that will only continue to grow when more people become eligible for FTTP.   I wonder if its worthwhile starting a new section.

Thanks :) We'll see how the process goes.  Really only interested in keeping the number for the odd time an old hospital contact or similar uses it (most seem to use the mobile these days).

On the VOIP subforum; I think it might be worth it.  I'll admit freely to knowing little about VOIP at the moment, and if there were a place with related threads it would be useful, I'd have certainly had a dig through it.

I've started a port of the landline number to A&A for VOIP
I have ported my BT landline number both to and from A&A and both migrations proceeded without issue. I had the VoIP side already setup in advance so once the migration took place calls just appeared on the VoIP side. The only reason I moved the number back was due to the number of power cuts we experienced here at the time, sometimes exceeding the capacity of my UPS.

+1 for that, I think it could be a big topic over the next couple of years, and it really does have a different set of technical problems and challenges to deal with :)
