Whats The Two Types Mean? Type A and B?

Different manufacturers.

Currently the Type B is better on Huawei cabinets as it handles the new G.INP error correction that those use. The Type A doesn't and falls back onto the old method of significant interleaving.

On ECI cabinets they are both fine.

Hi Roberto,

Thanks For Your Reply.

How Do I Find Out Which Cabinet Mine Is?

I Take It BT Know Which Type To Send Out To People?

Thank
Darren

One way is to say which exchange and cabinet you're on. This website can tell you www.dslchecker.bt.com

No, BT don't know which one to send you.

If that's Middleton Manchester, cab 47 is an ECI. So as it stands, it doesn't matter if they send you a Type A or a Type B.

Well done, hope you are happy when it is all up and running!

I didn't know the difference between the two types so learnt something new today. As it happens I have type B which is the best option for my cabinet (had to find some pictures online to identify).

Does seem to be random re. which type is sent though.

Yes Its Middleton Manchester.

Thanks BatBoy That's Great.

Thanks
Darren

Although BT have told Ofcom they don't throttle, they do.

Where is your proof or is this just more rubbish you are spouting?

Only from what I experience on my connection.
