Just Joined

I was with Entanet Prior to their recent problems, and was satisfied with their provision

After the patchy service provided by Entanet recently I decided to migrate elsewhere,

Although not yet wired up I have received my preconfigured router complete with
credit card containing login details.
rang twice within 10 minutes both time I was answered within seconds and my queries were answered
the whole experience to date has been a happy one providing detail, professionalism and service
lets hope this is the norm.
I will update when more detail is available

Gone Live smooth and easy

Hi. recently joined too. Would be interesting to see your router stats. Are you in the Master socket and on wireless or Ethernet connection? What speed did you get from your last ISP? Of course it'll take a few days to settle down.

I don't recall ever having to queue to get through.. A&A's service has always been top notch

in master socket - yes
previous 2m legacy product (bras profile 2000)
on bbmax usually get about 1960kbps down, and 250kbps up

RRT:RRT has completed the circuit analysis successfully.
RRT:Prognosis for a period of 14 days from 23-Feb-2009 to 08-Mar-2009. The circuit was in sync throughout the specified analysis period. Please refer to the other sub tests within the OSC including the Status Check to confirm whether the circuit is currently in sync and logged on. If the circuit is currently out of sync please carry out internal wiring, filters, modem/router checks with the End User at the master socket where possible.The circuit is dropping sync which seems to be caused by errors. Please carry out internal wiring, filters, modem/router checks with the End User at the master socket where possible. To confirm whether the line is faulty please refer to the copper line test in OSC.The problem indicated by the prognosis statement may have been fixed or it was a temporary situation.
Down:The line rate has varied by a considerable amount and frequently on almost all days during the analysis period. The line rate is within acceptable limits. Please see the average value. MIN=0 AVG=2064 MAX=2752
Down:The noise margin has varied by a large amount and frequently on almost all days during the analysis period. This may be caused due to interference or other noise sources in the end user premises.The Noise margin is within acceptable limits. Please see the average value. MIN=-7 AVG=7 MAX=18
Down:This line was erroring severely and frequently during the analysis period. The circuit performance however has improved since 07-Mar-2009. MIN=0 AVG=393 MAX=3600
Down:This is an extremely long line, and lower line rates can be expected. MIN=60 AVG=61 MAX=63
Down:There have been a considerable amount of initializations on the line during almost all parts of the day. This behaviour happens on most of the days during the analysis period. MIN=0 AVG=31 MAX=51
Down:This circuit is up for an average 86.0% of the time. MIN=6610 AVG=74477 MAX=86400
Up:The line rate has varied by a considerable amount and frequently on almost all days during the analysis period. The line rate is within acceptable limits. Please see the average value. MIN=0 AVG=319 MAX=448
Up:The noise margin has varied by a small amount but occasionally on almost all days during the analysis period. This is normal behaviour for a DSL product and is not affecting the service in any way.The Noise margin is high. Please see the average value. MIN=16 AVG=24 MAX=26
Up:There have been insignificant errors on the line during almost all parts of the day. This behaviour happens on almost all days during the analysis period. This is normal behaviour for a DSL product and is not affecting the service in any way. MIN=0 AVG=2982 MAX=3600

Local Access Network: No problem with local Access network unless fault has occurred in the last 24hours. IP Connectivity: End user has a current working session. Profile Change: There has not been a profile change in last 24 hours. Performance Test: The recent test has passed.

Based on your sync rate your BRAS should be 2Mb/s so I can get BT to update that now. (currently set at 1Mb/s)

May be worth seeing whether we can get BT to improve your line in some way! Let me know if you want us to investigate further by emailing support.

Shaun

thanks for your attentive interest, I can confirm an immediate speed increase as indicated in the link below.
how's that for efficiency!!
Great Stuff

I think we need to investigate further as your line has been dropping sync! will drop you an email shortly.
