What does it take to get you to understand YOU ARE WRONG.

In reply to a post by jchamier:

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").

No argument from me, the funny thing is people must realise they are in the wrong as soon as max agrees with them

Max, you are incorrect with your statement, The BT service doesnt stop WAN pings at all. Its only the BT residental routers that dont respond to ping on the WAN IP. Replacing the router with one that will respond to pings and you can setup services that rely on it eg broadband quality monitor

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.

Everyone here seems to understand the situation. Whilst technically it's possible to argue the minutiae I don't see the purpose.
Closing this thread, but let's adopt a positive supportive not 'telling off' attitude to other posters.
