What's the deal with DELT?
« on: January 26, 2011, 11:19:24 PM »
Just put the DG Team firmware on my router.

Settings now include ADSL2+ DELT.

I can see nothing that explains what DELT is, does, and affects performance.

Renluop's tutors to the fore please. ;D

Is it not for the SP's to use, rather than the EU ???

I was joking ;D But even the suggestion that ISPs may use it seems strange. BT perhaps? Yet as many EUs would not own routers with the DELT option, would the engineer use the customers' router? :-\

Several services (LLU and BT) supply specific routers that they to a greater or lesser extent "require" you to use.
A middle-of-the-road example would be BeThere who don't mind you using other routers (though they don't officially "support" them) but require you to use "their" router for troubleshooting.
(as to whether that uses DELT I've no idea)

If you attempt to call BT's domestic help service and answer truthfully that have a 2Wire 2700HGV modem (i.e. the BT Business hub) they will immediately redirect you to the BT Business help service.
When you arrive there, BT Business help cannot help you at all as they are only able to look at BT business lines so you do not exist in their eyes.

However I've had no difficulty with other ISPs who will usually listen to your reported performance figures, even though no other ISP is allowed to support the 2700 as it is a closed bespoke BT product.
I have found the 2700 to be an ideal and cheap test tool and much more sensitive than BT's JDSU test equipment which seems to have been de-tuned to a lower performance.
Thank goodness for all the help available here though !

My Zyxel P660 HW T1 V2 has been showing ADSL2 DELT pretty much since my upgrade to BT's 20 meg service. BT have said its not something that they have initiated and I know I haven't! As for affceting speed? Who knows? All I can say is that my actual speeds are down when compared with the previous 8 meg service.
