Not from BT's pov. They are putting in a new core network and will move customers to it. Sadly, they don't seem to have planned it very well.

Out of interest Rik, do you mean the network isn't well planned or the transition of customers?

The network, Anton. Look at the frequent failures of the Edinburgh metro node, which have disconnected Scotland, Northern Ireland and parts of northern England for hours at a time since July. There's no resilience in the network, a single point failure can have massive consequences, unlike the internet. If a fire took out the Stepney Green node, most of us would be cut off. It's just poor (read cheapskate ;)) planning, imo.

The network, Anton. <snip>

Presumably though, Open Reach have commercial SLAs with ISPs around performance of the end to end network. Is this BT overreaching to deliver service reach with resiliency to follow or is this as good as it gets?

Actually, I'm a bit long in the tooth to be asking a question like that...  :whistle:

Out of curiosity, if it's not commercially sensitive, what is the SLA for WBC offered to ISPs.

I think they were claiming 99% uptime. (may have been for home users though)
Might be some info around here: http://www.btwholesale.com/pages/static/Products/Broadband/Wholesale_Broadband_Connect_WBC/WBC_Terms_and_Conditions.html
But not sure of the technical terms.  :red:
I use to have a signature, then it all changed to chip and pin.

We're not privy to that kind of information, Anton, sorry. :(

ADSL 2+ was great for the first month or so (connection was configured as that when I migrated back to Zen) but then it started a downward spiral to what ended up at 350 Kbps so requested a regrade, while I was waiting for BT to do the necessary I rang support and was told that the DLM had banded me at 575.

FTTP would be great but everything I've seen points to it being pricey.
