ian newson - the CBT versus the manifold is probalby why it was an error and not computing

Building an FTTP network using manifolds against building with CBT is fundamentally different

which is why i asked the question (manifold FTTP networks for Openreach FTTP are about 4 /5 years old now)

Hardly bud. Not everyone’s an Openreach comms terminology anorak.

I certainly wouldn’t expect Joe Average to be 100% conversant let alone accurate with FTTP infrastructure terminology (Openreach terminology at that) and more importantly for to have a material bearing on the timelessness of a database update.
