Well, that's you in for a series of outages next year then, Philip.

[Colin Burns]

17/07/2007     TalkTalk (CPW) has enabled the Rowlands Gill exchange for their service
19/10/2006    BT have set a target date of Q2 2011 for the switch to 21CN for the Rowlands Gill exchange

im starting to feel sad and loney though ill have my 8mb to keep me comapany

[Rik]

Look at it like this, Colin. BT are testing it on lost of other people before they get to you. At least the bugs should be ironed out.

[Malc]

BT are testing it on lost of other people before they get to you.

So, who are all these lost peeps?

[Rik]

Well, if you notice any forum regulars going missing, BT have probably just updated their exchanges.

[madasahatter]

BT have probably just updated their exchanges.

And messed it up as they invariably do 

[Malc]

Not looking forward to Q3 this year anymore 

[Sebby]

I'm Q4 2008; I don't know if that's good or bad!

[sobranie]

Q1 2009 here in Helston, was 2011 sometime.  Oh goody, beaten Penzance

[Rik]

I'm Q4 2008; I don't know if that's good or bad!

Well, you'll find out sooner than many of us. 

[Lance]

Mine is Q1 2009

[Danni]

05/03/2008  Be Unlimited has set an enablement date of 31/03/2008 for the Blaydon exchange
05/06/2007  BT Wholesale (SDSL) has enabled the Blaydon exchange for their service
01/02/2007  Be Unlimited is no longer reporting an enablement date for the Blaydon exchange
19/10/2006  BT have set a target date of Q2 2011 for the switch to 21CN for the Blaydon exchange

I'll probably be on a different exchange soon, but still

[Colin Burns]

yea are u forgetting who told u about that nasty pasty

[g7pkf]

mine was q3 2009.

its now     BT have set a target date of Q2 2010 for the switch to 21CN for the Stewkley exchange

Bugger

[Rik]

Don't worry, Dean, there's plenty of time for them to move it further back.

[sobranie]

Q1 2009 here in Helston, was 2011 sometime.  Oh goody, beaten Penzance

Oh s**t, it's back to 3/2011 again.

[Colin Burns]

or completly forget that the exchange exists

[gingerjedi]

Just checked mine Q3 2008... Which is nice.

What does the upgrade involve, is it just the equipment in the exchange or are there any line upgrades?

My line has an attenuation of 46db and drops out with interference every few days even though I'm only 2k from the exchange, I've tried to have it fixed on several occasions but it never happens when the BT engineer arrives so I've learnt to live with it.

Just wondering if there is a small possibility that it may be fixed inline with the 21CN rollout?

[Rik]

Very little, I'm afraid. 21CN is more to do with the exchange and backhaul, it changes little in the local loop, if anything.

[gingerjedi]

Oh well.

I've tried everything from new filters, different routers, re-wired phone system, 3 BT call outs (2 via IDNet) and still it just goes haywire every now and then, my latest theory is my phone line is tapped!!

[Rik]

It may be tapped, in the sense that there is a leaky joint on the line. I would have hoped, though, that the engineers would have picked that up. Is there a pattern to the problem, eg time of day, type of weather?

[gingerjedi]

No it seems completely random, it's like some sort of static storm on my phone line? I can hear noise and at the same time my SNR will drop, then out of the blue it will clear and work fine again. (I've had advice from your good self on this mater before  )

I wonder if there's some electrostatic interference being generated along the line somewhere between me and the exchange, an underground pump or something??

Anyway whatever it is I've done everything I can at my end so unless BT decide to replace the aging copper lines I'm stuck with it unless I move.
