BRAS woe

Probably due to Christmas lights etc, my BRAS got set at 5.5 with a SNR Margin of 10 dB and Loop Attn of 36.0 dB

Due an issue with incoming phone calls on my DrayTek 2800 Vigor VoIP router, changed the VoIP codec (seems to have got rid of the clicking) and decided to reboot the router to see if I could get a better sync.

Rebooted and got a synch of 7136 with the SNR Margin of 7 dB with same Line Attn.

Then received an email from A&A to say my BRAS is now 4.5

What are BT playing at? Surely a router reboot at a higher speed which suggests that the SNR Margin can be reduced should, not then have a slower BRAS imposed?

At least my exchange (Hawarden) is due for an upgrade to ADSL2+ at the end of this month.

Cheers!

ADSL2+ has been available there for ages.

Tell me about it, i'm sure they make it up as they go along

How long for? My ISP and other ISP's websites say 31st March.

Cheers!

I think you might be looking at LLU!

who offer ADSL2+ and have done for years.

I wonder if that's what the OP meant...

I was fully aware that the LLU operators at Hawarden have ADSL2+ but as my signature denotes, I am with Andrews & Arnold and thus use the BT plant at the exchange. Yes, I am aware of Be at Hawarden, but in any event, do LLU operators have such a thing as BRAS?

My original 'look see' was Sam Knows.

Cheers!

You're using broadband via BT when you have all those lovely lovely options available? Are you mad?
