Re: FTTC Availability Checker

In reply to a post by APH999:
Just to clarify the situation (for me) this is just a logical/dbase change isn't it? I haven't seen vans near the cabinet or noticed any disruption/change to my current service. I only ask because it came to my attention yesterday that another neighbour has been told he cant be connected to cab12 as its full!

Thanks

Andy
It now seems that number 19 is now connected to cabinet 12 and can now get fibre.
The speeds that BTOR are saying/hiding are the following:
Down: 42.49Mbps
Up: 12.9Mbps
BTOR are giving this as a fixed value and not a range, so maybe they know what exact speeds that address should be getting, or maybe its the max obtainable speed, who knows.

Edit: Typical! After writing all that ... I used the information from PaulKirby's last post in the DSL checker again, and can see that the checker is now reporting a connection to cab 12, with decent FTTC estimates.
Yeah, just did a check and I can also now see them as being able to get FTTP with BTOR saying a max speed 42.xMbps so not bad.
I just shows how bad their database really is.
In reply to a post by WWWombat:
Properties 27-31 remain on cab 2, though. Physical reality, or is the database still wrong for them?
Yeah, it seems that they are still connected to cabinet 2 and can get FTTC with possibly a max speed of Down: 26.2Mbps, Up: 6.86Mbps.

OK sounds great news. I am just surprised that, since the new cabinet is so much closer, my ADSL2+ speed hasn't increased. I haven't yet contacted my ISP, I just wondered if they had had a hand in getting things sorted, but I guess not as they haven't alerted me to the change.

ADSLx speed is dependent on distance from the exchange, via the cabinet. Only FTTC is dependent on distance from the cabinet.

The indispensable man or woman passes from the scene, and what happens next is more or less the same thing as was happening before.
My broadband basic info/help site - www.robertos.me.uk. Domains, site and mail hosting - Tsohost.
Connection - AAISP Home::1 80/20. Sync 59997/15142kbps @ 600m. - BQM

Ah, the missing bit of my puzzle! I see, many thanks. Wonder how I missed them doing it, I have been driving past as much as possible looking for an engineer to accost!

Great news, so I wasn't that far off with the speed then smile

As for doing screenshots, I do the same when I do tests on our line using BT's 2 tests, that way BT cannot say sorry your line cannot support that speed, when it has for several years.

Yes indeed.

Is there a way to get your phone number included on either of the BT speedtest reports? Neither of them include that - I can just see proof of ownership problems!

If you do the further diagnostics and you capture your line stats, then your IP profile will reflect your sync speed.
