No chance.

"Yeah, they're ceasing the whole line unfortunately"


game on then ! the engineer will just use that "D side" routing for your BB line and job done !

? Bert

Won't he be having pair 2 connected before pair 1 is ceased? Otherwise some pretty slick order coordination is going to be needed.

Tesco was traditionally Datastream via NTL, like Virgin. Still is where no LLU option, maybe some IPStream but in general Tesco=Virgin=poor performance when via BT Wholesale.

Bob i and most of the guys would just "tone" that pr back to the cab and just use it !

As the saying goes KISS ! LoL

Just a quick update for anyone interested.

My order with ADSL24 has been at "awaiting DACS removal" status for a week now:

Updated Type Status
10 Jul 2012 02:40 ProvideIn Progress (Order Delayed)
10 Jul 2012 02:40 Delay reason Awaiting DACS removal

Not a big problem so far; I was expecting a delay for this, and I gave a "requested date" of 15 Aug. I'm just hoping I don't get a "BT advise they need a one-off fee of £x,000 to remove DACS" sort of update!

If you wish to PM me your number I can chase this up with BT to ensure they are dealing with the DACS

In reply to a post by Adsl24:

Thanks for that. Apologies for the late response - for some reason I didn't get an email and have only just checked the thread.

I don't think there's any need to chase up BT yet. Your guys have emailed me to let me know that BT have discovered it is trickier than first thought, but the work is scheduled for the 9th.

I'll report back later in the week!

Removing a DACS can often be a problem by nature of why they use them, it basically shares one physical line between two phone numbers when they run short on lines.

My brother moved into a house in February and it took two months to get his broadband sorted, and that was only after an email to the CEO of BT Group.

The big advantage you have is that you already have another line with broadband on it, which will be ceasing soon, ideally you want to get BT to use this pair for your broadband/telephone, if they haven't sorted it out by then.

Ronski , did you not see my post on Tue -10-Jul @ 20-14 ? you are spot on as i say KISS lol
