I'm hoping that a period of stability, may cause a a reset of the BRAS profile and my line speed will improve. Plusnet have made it clear that they are unlikely to be interested in requesting BTW do a SNR reset. Actually, I do have a contact at BTW who is quite senior, so if it doesn't sort itself out, I'll have a word and see if he can do something (it was he who did the last cease/re-provide for me, which finally fixed the issues.

Interesting, as a SNR reset doesn't require any interaction directly from BTW. BT have now rolled out capabilites to all ISP's on both 20 and 21CN to request an SNR reset on circuits. This can be done on the standard access portals that BT supply the ISP's. It doesn't really take much to. Probably 30 seconds work

If Plusnet are saying that BT won't do it, they may be telling porkies. The only thing that may be stopping them is if your line is dropping. BT do have restrictions and requirements, that ISPs are supposed to stick to with regards to resetting SNR. The only time you would need to get BT to do a SNR reset is if the SNR gets stuck, and won't lower via the automated system.

Hopefully, if the circuit is stable, and the sync rate remains stable, your profile should increase. You can check your current IP profile by running a BT speed test.

We don't supply anything over LLU, only BTW network.

http://www.samknows.com/broadband/llu/entanet

What you mean is no domestic services are provided over LLU. Some business ones are.

So, if your line comes from BT, you can get broadband supplied by ourselves

Only via a reseller, except for customers taken over by yourselves when a reseller has gone bust.

Our leased lines go over different carriers, but thats it.

Relevance nil.

No RobertoS, Enta provide no services over LLU, only BTW, SamKnows lists Entanet as an LLU reseller but it is incorrect, those 20 locations it lists are the 21CN nodes that make up Enta's network.

The LLU listings were there before 21CN.

Enta provide no services over LLU

I distinctly remember them using LLU for short range (EFM ?) copper based leased line type connectivity.

Sam says "Entanet announced the development of a small LLU network in October 2007. After launching at two exchanges in Birmingham, the network is now expanding to a further 18 exchanges nationwide. The network is used to provide Enta's "Ethernet First Mile" service, which bonds up to 40 copper pairs to produce a single 100Mbps circuit. "

Not for ADSL though, they only use BTW for ADSL. Obviously leased lines and other services can be offered from those nodes but we were talking about ADSL, just wanted to clear up the confusion

You may be doing so.

b_bliss's reply to yarwell was quite categoric. No LLU at all.

Neither yarwell nor myself is confused, just the OP, and yarwell's reply to him was spot on. b_bliss is the confuser here .

Hmmm I don't want to get caught up in forum "elitism" it's not my style, but he was clearly talking about a home user. You say relevance nil on the leased line bit that was mentioned but the relevance that Enta may supply EFM services to business users on an LLU network is NOTHING to do with ADSL to a home user or anything to do with the OP's original question, so you've contradicted yourself there.

Sometimes there is being anal just for the sake of being anal and I find it unneccessary and rude.

on the subject of being rude, "No RobertoS, Enta provide no services over LLU, only BTW, SamKnows lists Entanet as an LLU reseller but it is incorrect" doesn't exactly come over as a gentle insertion into the discussion, even if it were correct. Being so absolute it ends up inevitably being incorrect.

I was just replying in the same manner he had, like I say, there is too much elitism on here which is why I tend not to get involved. But when someone is just trying to help out a user asking for assistance and then another user comes along picking up on all those little bits and being anal for the sake of it then they need to be put straight.

Anyway, I'll leave you to discuss it amongst yourselves! The OP has had his help and we have established Enta provide no ADSL services over LLU, time for me to go do something more productive with my day.
