21 CN WBC upgrade- new products


[link to this post]
 
According to SamKnows.com, my BT exchange was upgraded to 21CN WBC status on 21st of this month. When will IDNet be announcing new, higher-speed products? (Not that I plan to be first in the queue tongue)

We already have our link to WBC in place but we're still testing it as there are teething issues with BT's ordering systems.

Regards
Simon

It's not fair Simon. As usual BT don't care about those in the Rural areas. But then BT often get things wrong and really late. smile

ADSL2+ (or whatever the up-to 24Mbps ADSL is called these days) has been around in many countries for quite a while, including parts of the UK which are lucky enough to get LLU providers. So how come BT, as a late-comer in this market, has teething problems with something as simple as an ordering system? Why can't BT just copy existing technologies and systems from other providers and copy the business model from other countries, kind of a short-cut to current technologies? No need to re-invent the wheel. But then again, this is BT, not a normal telecom company ... smile

We all agree with your concerns and observations but IDNet have no control over those problems. They can only deal with the situation as it stands.

It is appreciated that you need to air your thoughts but please do not aim your complaints at an ISP that is clearly attempting to do its best under the circumstances.

As far as I can see the only ISP mentioned is BT with no mention of IDnet. As the ordering system is BT's it is fair to lay the blame at their door for it's deficiencies.

I always hate BT !!! They won't get my local exchange as the 21CN WBC until late 2011 or early 2012 as BT don't care !!!! This is why I end up go with virgin media cable but I hate virgin media because of STM on it and expensive too.

ADSL 8Mb
Cable 10Mb
