The wonders of BT

old Bill · Sep 04, 2007, 12:41:34

Have not been around here for a while. But I thought I would give a quick update. I have still been having problems with my broadband so they were called out again today. Before BT vist sync speed 4096KBPS and a line attenuation of 48.9. The BT chap came and put me on to a brand new cable in the exchange (no 5 I think he said) now I am getting this.

DSL Line (Wire Pair):   Line 1 (inner pair)
Protocol:   G.DMT Annex A
Downstream Rate:   6432 kbps
Upstream Rate:   448 kbps
Channel:   Interleaved
Current Noise Margin:   9.0 dB (Downstream) 23.0 dB (Upstream)
Current Attenuation:   42.5 dB (Downstream) 27.0 dB (Upstream)
Current Output Power:   19.7 dBm (Downstream) 11.9 dBm (Upstream)
DSLAM Vendor Information:   Country: {0x0F} Vendor: {ALCB} Specific: {0x00}
PVC Info:   0/38

So at last a decent line

. There is hope for all of you with poor lines

Trouble is, Bill, I think I'd need a few flying pigs before BT would put in new backhaul here.

Congratulations on your result, though.

Congratulations Bill

It's about time.

Lance · Sep 04, 2007, 13:22:07

Not sure at the moment. Both ISPs are great so its a very hard choice. I will see how things are once the min term is up.

Kheldar · Sep 04, 2007, 13:48:48

who did you go with after leaving us Bill?

old Bill · Sep 04, 2007, 15:31:01

Lets just say they were very Fast.

Rik · Sep 04, 2007, 15:43:15

So long as they're not too Fast4 you, Bill.

cavillas · Sep 04, 2007, 16:13:22

Ho Ho Ho

old Bill · Sep 04, 2007, 16:37:13

No they were just Fast enough for me.

Inactive · Sep 04, 2007, 16:39:12

This is starting to sound like the Fast Forum, do Fast have a forum of their own??

cavillas · Sep 04, 2007, 17:10:01

Yes. But you have to be very quick.

Rik · Sep 04, 2007, 17:11:42

Not to be confused with the Fast4 forum, where you're likely to be very very slow...

old Bill · Sep 04, 2007, 17:24:59

Slow I thought that was Oranges new name.

Rik · Sep 04, 2007, 17:26:59

One of many, Bill. The rest would be caught by the swear filter.

MoHux · Sep 05, 2007, 18:08:13

I think it would be extremely usefull if Bill let on how to get BT to keep visiting, and performing, without paying £160 a time??

Or did he??

Mo

old Bill · Sep 05, 2007, 18:45:59

No I did not pay them. I was very lucky the chap had come out a couple of months ago and changed my cable with next doors who did not have broadband. So as he said the only other thing to try was a new cable. Anyway its working a treat no loss of sync, no DSL retrains. Just how it should be.

MoHux · Sep 05, 2007, 19:12:00

Well done, now perhaps you can relax Bill.

old Bill · Sep 05, 2007, 19:22:02

Thanks,
Yes its been a very strange year but in the last few weeks have managed to sort out some big issues in my life and the BB works a treat as well . So to coin a phrase " The futures bright the futures Idnet "

So you've decided to come back then!?

old Bill · Sep 06, 2007, 03:55:21

I am tied in with a min contract for another month or so but after that I still have a lot credit which I paid up fron to use up.

old Bill · Sep 08, 2007, 17:40:43

This is more like it.
