Today i go active with orange

hi there today im moving my broadband to orange upto 20meg unlimited,

Anyone know what time it will go live? whats the snr default with orange?

thanks

Time? Only the engineer at the exchange who physically changes your ADSL jumpering and his work schedule for the day.

Historically Orange LLU maintained a "high" standard SNR margin at about 10db. However Orange are now provisioning new and existing users on their up to 20Meg services on BT's WBC. From my experience this can lead (eventually - seems to take at least 10 days) to a 6dB SNR if the line can take it in terms of stability, and the line profiling is now closer to the sync speed than used to be the case with BT-based services. An improvement I hope on the former Orange LLU which seemed to be good or bad depending as much, it seemed to me, on luck as anything! Up speeds seem to settle at around 1Meg.

well im still with my old isp

wonder when it will happen

still waiting to go active hmmmmm. i just rang orange broadband customer service which i was surprised when someone from the uk picked up, from alot of ppl saying the customer service is useless i fault it was all in india?

the lady i spoke to was very helpfull she sed it will be happening 2moz now which is the 12/05/2011 dont no why it has changed.

Thanks

I hope so - that being said Orange are known for promises, promises, promises . . .

However, I've been lucky enough to find they've been true to their word, (at least when things are within their control, which BT aren't).

well its all done and im getting an extra 3meg yay

i was getting about 12meg on my router before.

im very happy fingers crossed it will stay the same speed

Yes, I thought the ping test looked good 15ms. Carry out the separate Ping Test on speedtest.net and see what that will give you.

ping test just done

Very good, the best I can get from three ping tests.

Yes, I am still on LLU which has been very stable, but I only get half the 20 Mbps speed. Maybe it will improve with the change over.
