resynch after ceasing service?

Hi,

I left you recently and ceased my line - I use the router for internal stuff and I forgot to unplug it. There are only 4 places taken on our pole DP as only 4 houses can have landlines around here - but about 10 minutes ago I noticed my router is now re synced at 40/10 but I have no authentication

Is this someone else's service that's been activated? if so why is my router syncing with their service? has it been put on the wrong line? Or if my line has been used for them shouldn't it be synched at their end instead?

Cheers!

Can you email in the the login/phone number - [email protected] - thanks!

Will do - thanks

My guess ...

Your port has been reallocated to a new customer, but the physical cabinet work to connect the new line through what was ‘your’port hasn’t been carried out yet.

Due tomorrow maybe.

Cheers - well I will keep my router on and see if it dies - right now it's synced - probably -net or Sly as they do 40/10

The NGA is 40% full - according to the guy who installed my line a few months back - it's why they won't g.fast it - maybe they only like using certain ports?

My service still ran for a week after AA ceased me - so the engineers around here do seem pretty lame.

Pardon?

By the NGA do you mean the FTTC cabinet? If not, what do you mean, as it is "Next Generation Access" and is the generic title for all Openreach local loop fibre products. Including FTTP which doesn't use cabinets.

G.Fast has nothing to do with the FTTC cabinet other than receiving from it a power supply extension and a fed-through fibre strand via the PCP.The G.Fast pod is attached to the PCP and AIUI does not use the FTTC DSLAM ports.

I didn't mention g.fast! and when I did my training it was just an NGA - sorry if I use terms I only knew of years ago. In any case I will leave it to OR to sort out. As long as I am not stopping someone from using a service they are paying to access I am happy - at some point someone is going to ask the ISP why they can't access it and then I hope they will twig.

I wish I could find out who the ISP was and call them! - but no way of knowing.

Ermmm. Yes you did. Read what I quoted in the post you replied to, and your own post that quote was from.

I simply said they won't add it on - said nothing about it being on the line or anything.

AA are looking into it - so you don't really need to bother replying do you - unless you can add some value to the situation? which you can't

You just don't get it , do you!

Read this:- "The NGA is 40% full - according to the guy who installed my line a few months back - it's why they won't g.fast it". Using g.fast as a verb in the way you did, (which does add conciseness), the FTTC cabinet which is 40% full will never be "g.fast'ed" as that isn't what happens.

G.Fast is added to the PCP and is nothing at all to do with how many ports are used in the FTTC cabinet (what you call the NGA). Your "it's why they won't g.fast it" is simply garbage. End of. If you were quoting an engineer then he didn't know what he was talking about.

Similarly, if people you were working with "when I did my training it was just an NGA" were Plusnet support, that could explain why you picked up junk terminology.

Yes AAISP are looking into it but I think you've probably had your answer earlier in the thread. Or an engineer has simply messed up somewhere. The argument you persist in pushing is nothing to do with the problem. It is to do with that fact that the reason you posted for no G.Fast was rubbish.

G.Fast pods are added to the phone cabinet. It doesn't matter whether the FTTC cabinet is 10%, 20%, 40% or 90% full, it doesn't affect the Openreach decision to add G.Fast at that PCP.

Why you decided to turn this into an ongoing row I have no idea . It was a minor correction to what you seemed to believe, that's all.

Just accept the facts.
