FTTC STATS

I said I would post some FTTC line stats a few days ago (sorry for the delay)

we only have two lines so far and only speed tests from one customer

Sync rates: 39669Kb/s - BRAS 35Mb/s (don't seem to be able to get upstream rate from BT)

As far as I know customer is very close to the cab (Muswell Hill)

Also the lower speed tests on Saturday we think BT dropped the BRAS although I have no idea why (I have asked)

Is that 35Meg bras profile for a 40meg sync going to be the standard? It's terrible.

Sync rates: 39669Kb/s - BRAS 35Mb/s (don't seem to be able to get upstream rate from BT)

Why not a 38Mb/s BRAS?
Why in 5Mb/s chunks?

Not sure it should be in 5Mb/s chunks, I have already asked BT about the BRAS as there is no info in the handbook about it. I will post back when I get an answer

Why in 5Mb/s chunks?

usually to reduce the number of changes required. It's the same % as 125k at 1M which is actually an improvement on ADSL

I know something else that would reduce the number of changes required, change them to 0 in fact....

Ugh BT Wholesale.

I hope you guys can find a way to drop them and their nasty IP profiles like a hot potato when an OLO offers up a wholesale VDSL product.

Sorry to bring an old topic back but why on earth is BT using thier stupid BRAS system on FTTC platform. Cant they be like LLU ISP's where they let the throughput be 80% of thier sync rate?!

Bump...

Any answer from BT as yet?
