Perhaps someone from PN would like to give us the correct DAY the maintenance is likely to happen???

lol

Wednesday

A job to defend that, but some will. One T-shirt enough for me.

I wonder if its just going to be a mass kick of users to rebalance.

Sort of reminds me of the old days on NTL where they were announcing weekly maintenance in leics which was a rebalance of the UBR channels since they wouldnt do actual upgrades (heads stuck in sand insisting rebalancing was sufficient).

(I didn't spot the day/date differences in the email, LOL).

I'm hoping it is either or both an upgrade to gateway firmware to make them work with IPv6, or to improve throughput, as the user-balance looks to be fine.

Nothing on the gateways has anything to do with G.INP - that's totally about the connection between the modem and the cabinet!

well they have said on the forums more bandwidth got ordered so hopefully its related to that, they may also have discovered a config issue affecting performance, so could be anything reall.y

I agree also about fixing the ipv6 situation.

D'oh!

Well I've been on ptw-bng01 for 6 days now (my fault my connection dropped - I overfilled the kettle and tripped the power). I resisted my long standing habit of hopping until I get off the 'bng's' and I'm still getting steady speeds and reasonable latency so at the moment I'm a happy bunny

My speed test a short time ago.
