If anyone can test this connection's performance it's you. So please keep us posted and looking forward to seeing how it measures up.

Olilo.

In the background I made some enquiries. Hopefully all is now okay thanks to a VLAN move. Obviously that won't sort anything on the optical path but everything crossed it behaves.

Am I right in thinking that your view is that there may well have been an issue with the Aquiss connection? I have always found that, over the years, Max's obsessive testing finds any weakness in a provider's service.

Hopefully Aquiss and the real provider that they are reselling's personal data responsibilities with regards to Max were upheld in your enquiries? Perhaps Max asked you for help and passed on his personal data?

Max is in Cuckoo Oak off the Wellington exchange on a PON commissioned early January. Source: his forum posts. Unless OLTs and BT Wholesale backhaul take enquiries about them personally I think we're good.

No issues so far with Olilo ISP for 20 days now.

Good to know thanks Max… Olilo is an ISP I would look at if I get any FTTP in my area that isn’t VM; contrast with AAISP.

Great to hear that the provider has been able to trade and provide service for 20 days.

I am no longer with Aquiss FTTP from April 3rd. Martin from Aquiss has release me from contract to move to other ISP as the ISP has failed to fix my full fibre ongoing issues with packet loss. Disappointed to be honest.

My parents has the same overhead pole as mine in same street. Their FTTP has ZERO packet loss with Plusnet. But Aquiss are the worse packet loss with max latency over 140ms.

To be fair Martin did booked Openreach engineer but the engineer not seem interested in packet loss which I showed him the TTB monitor chart. He swap over brand new ONT and the problem still the same issues. Sadly Martin say there is nothing more he can do and release me from contract and asked me to go to other ISP.

I wondered how long it would take you to get the hump with a problem that you're creating on your own line. You have to be the unluckiest customer in the world at this point. You just need to learn to put up with issues and be a little more accommodating while the technology matures a bit more and rollout's in your area finish and Openreach can get the load balancing right to meet the demands of your area.

I think hell has more chance of freezing over than that happening to be honest.
