Opal TT MPF LLU packages launched

Just a heads up that we've now launched our new "Complete 50 LLU" service which offers:

- FREE Setup
- Line rental included
- Up to 24 Mb downstream / 1 Mb upstream
- 12 month contract (only £25 exit fee within 12mth term)
- 50 GB usage (8am-midnight)
- Unlimited usage (midnight-8am and all weekend)
- Static IP provided
- No throttling / port-blocking / shaping... zilch!
- 200MB webspace
- Unlimited e-mail accounts
- 24/7 UK support
- SNR tweaking (6,9,12,15dB SNR) and (Interleaved/Fast path) available

£23.90 inclusive of VAT per month
or
£24.90 inclusive of VAT per month (with 100 mins UK landline calls bundle)

It's based on the Opal wholesale network so anyone who has Opal/CPW/TT at their exchange can take advantage.

This will prove to be a considerable saving for many as take in to account a customer on our Home 30 package (£19.90) plus standard BT line rental (£14.60) = £34.50/month and we can offer the LLU line rental/broadband with an extra 20GB peak usage (50 instead of 30) for over £10 less a month at £23.90.


P.S. Did I mention we're doing free setup on it too!

Thanks,

James

What if I needed 300mb of web space? Would that be possible at at what cost?

Not a problem - we can accommodate the extra webspace on an individual basis without extra charge

Hi James,
Good to see you have launched this package, how much would a new line connection be?? And can you only migrate across or do a new activation straight after the new line is installed??

At present we can only migrate an existing line to the Opal service however as we offer BT line rental ourselves we can activate a new line via that (£4.99 for a stopped line/restart a line) or £79 for a brand new line.

Thanks

James

Thanks, but I think I will stay as I am, far too close to Talk Talk for me.

But surely then the customer could not have this package as it would be a WLR3 line? Or is the contract length on that up to you so you could then transfer it to Opal?

Our normal WLR3 line rental is a 1 month contract for new lines, so we can immediately place a transfer order to Opal MPF upon the landline being activated. We can migrate any working WLR3 line to Opal, regardless of whether it actually has a broadband service enabled - it just has to be a working landline.

Thanks for that James, I'm giving it serious consideration. If I told you that I'm 3.5k from my exchange and I get about 5mbps download from my ADSL max service, what sort of speed am I likely to see on ADSL2+ ? I'm just after some idea.... not a cast iron guarantee.

Not a lot different on the connection speed unfortunately. See how close together they are on this graph.

However you would not have the BT Wholesale IP Profiling system getting in the way, so throughput could be noticeably better, without being "fast".

You should get a fair increase in the upload, if that is any use to you.

BT profiling system is evil, it really is, surly no line management system can be as bad as BT.

Thanks for that.

I'm pleased to announce that we can also now provide NEW installations (phone line and broadband) as well as migrations from BT-based lines. This is ideal if you wish to sign up to the Complete 50 package and either don't yet have a landline installed or are moving house etc.

The new line activation fee is just £89 which includes the Openreach engineer new line provision and the broadband activation.

Thanks

Not for me as i am happy as i am, but just want to ask, I know you said that it is not on the Talk Talk network, but it still uses their equipment, so is TT DLM still in place or is it like the C&W system that don't have any?

It uses the actual same MSAN in the exchange but after that it's not TT managed.

However we have controls to set the SNR target to 6, 9, 12 or 15dB and choose either Fast path or Interleaved mode. I've not seen any connection ever lose its profile or be subject to any TT "tinkering".

So no auto management system then? So if someone decides to change the SNR at their end it don't make the system try and change it back like Bt profiling?

Sorry to bump this old thread, but I have a few questions.

A recent change in circumstances means I have to cut my outgoings considerably, and this package seems good value for money. I'm currently on a BT line with the 'Anytime' plan and have ADSL24's Home 30 package, so i'm currently paying ~£40/month.

I'm not enthused about my connection going through Talk Talk equipment at the exchange, but I have little other choice at my exchange (SWTRF). It's either BT 20CN, AOL, Sky or Talk Talk. I do have faith in ADSL24, so I'm willing to take a gamble.

Anyway, my questions..

1) Will I keep my current telephone number?

2) Roughly how long would I be without internet while the change was taking place?

3) The package details don't mention caller display. Can I get this, and how much extra would it cost?

4) I feel a little uneasy about leaving BT behind completely. If I wanted to go back to BT in the future, how much hassle is it, and do you keep your then current phone number when going back to them?

Thanks
Nigel

Hi

1) Yes, same number as it is unaffected

2) 10-30 mins on the day whilst you are switched to the new LLU equipment

3) You get 1571 Voicemail for free, caller display just 75p per month

4) Yes, your number can go back to BT or another phone provider no problem should you need to. They just take the line back over in the same we we take it over from them. You could also go back to our normal BT-based line rental which is the same line rental BT offer but cheaper and on a monthly contract

Anything else I can help with?
