Line length from exchange

(1/7) > >>

canon:
Can someone please tell me the latest information to use the BT 17070 number to get your line length. When I dialled it today, the options are different from when I used it a year or so ago.
Thanks,
terry.

roseway:
I don't think you can get that information now.

canon:
That's what I suspected when Listened to the new options  :(
However, I can use the utility on this site  :)

roseway:
None of the line checkers available to the public (including Kitz' one) give actual line length, only geographical distances.

Ezzer:
Within openreach we can only get line lenght either by doing some thing called a RATS test which isn't avalable outside bt or by physicaly measuring it with a mole/hawk.

The 17070  :-X tool is strictly speaking a for use by bt only. (it can get annoying when working on a line and you can't get on the thing because it's too busy) a lot of the options will only work in conjunction with a bt engineers company supplied mobile.

The other thing about line lenght is it's relative to the type of cable which your fed from.
