Its blocked on the Smart Hubs - BT have always blocked WAN pings

Not true.

BT Business does NOT block them and never has.


BT Consumer/Residential has only started to block them in the past few years.

As soon as he posted that BT blocked it on all their Hubs I knew you would be along to correct him.

They aren't called BT consumer. They are simply called "BT".
BT Business is called BT Business.

The BT Hubs are called... BT Hubs/BT Smart Hubs.
The BT Business Hubs are called BT Business Hubs.

I've no idea why you get off correcting every single person who says this (I've seen you do it at least 3 or 4 times).

It's quite correct to say that BT block pings responses on all their Hubs.
BT Business do not.

Again you have made the same mistake

You have said BT block pings on all their hubs and immediately contradicted yourself by stating that part of BT do not.


So, do BT block on all their hubs or not? The answer which you have given is NO.

"BT" do.
"BT Business" do not.

It wouldn't be so bad if you just chipped in and responded with the helpful info that BT Business Hubs respond to pings, but you reply with "wrong" or "incorrect".

No,

saying BT do is WRONG. And that is what I pointed out as parts of BT do allow it.

I also stated that:

BT Business does NOT block them and never has.


BT Consumer/Residential has only started to block them in the past few years.

And that states which part of BT do and which do not.

BT Retail were split into two separate businesses (BT Consumer and BT Business) less than 10 years ago, are you saying that is no longer the case and if so when did it change?

You're hitting your head against a brick wall, I understood what you was saying from your first post in this thread.

Let him have his little moment of glory.

Seems he feeds off it.

I think the point is that all the hardware has just a simple "BT" logo on the front, and it takes looking at your bills / contract / paperwork to determine which division you have engaged with. That is the cause of this entire, pointless, thread. The company calls itself "BT" but sells from various divisions, and the two broadband offerings have different routers/firmware with different features including ICMP ECHO response ("ping").
