Talk talk LLU vs IDnet

Ericsson took over running their network 5 years ago, in their wisdom, Ericsson have been 'upgrading' the hardware that controls each mast. Now to do a soft reboot of the boxes an engineer has to be sent out to do it manually, rather than remotely as before. 

Smart thinking.  Did they ever explain their decision?

Change of plans,  Looked into it and im going to cancel it before it happens, just too risky for a 24 month contract ..

Good decision. They are nothing but frustration. Get written confirmation from them that you have no contract.

All I have been told from the engineers I see, is, the Ericsson controllers are cheaper then the Nokia equipment they are replacing. So money speaking again.

Presumably, it's not costed 'end to end'?

[Glenn]

The way Ericsson seem to work, sometimes I'm surprised it even works. They are now taking on work from Vodafone and T-Mobile

[Rik]

Oh dear.

Interestingly Nokia Siemens Networks are in the process of acquiring Motorola's mobile networks division

I wonder why, if their handsets are anything to go by cant think there's much to gain, the two I've used, the C350 and V600 were dire.

the 350's keypad was painful to use to text and the V600's software used to stop aceepting SMS when it felt like it even though the memory was clear.

Intelligence Everywhere? I dread to think what would happen if they did try and build an intelligent device.
