21cn enable dates
« on: December 12, 2010, 03:09:01 PM »

The Kitz exchange checker shows a date for WBC 21CN on my exchange (Spalford) but no other checkers do.
Could someone comment on the validity of the date show?

Many thanks

Hi Paul and welcome,

The Kitz checker is actually provided with data by Sam Crawford of Sam Knows.

I have queried such a discrepancy with the THCN Cranleigh exchange. Sam tells me that their data is only obtained directly from BT so I tend to believe them.
That said it is not uncommon for the dates to be altered or even removed upon occasions.

Kind regards,
Walter

@Walter
Thanks for that.
Yes I saw that the data was courtesy of SamKnows.
Curiously though the SamKnows checker does not report any date whereas the Kitz version does?
That was what was puzzling me.

@ Paul,

Sam Knows has an e-mail link to report any discrepancies so might I suggest you tell them.
I'm sure Eric will pick up on anything if it's an out-of-date connection on this side.

Kind regards,
Walter

Kitz gets the information by reading Sam's database directly (with his agreement of course) and his database is updated from BT's published information. So I think any errors are down to BT.

@ Paul,

I've checked the Plusnet site as well as Samknows direct and both say N/A yet, so I think you can presume that BT have not yet published an updated date.

@Eric

The picture below from kitz's link shows N/A as well, plus probably an earlier stale date of Q1 2011 as shown in the picture below.

Kind regards,
Walter

I guess Sam's database hasn't been updated recently then. He's been very busy with wider issues in recent months.
