ADSL24 line rental

i have noticed that ADS24 is now going to have some sort of package with broadband and line rental, I hope that don't mean they are going to try and put people on fully unbundled system/

Two many ISps are trying to get people to have packages, nothing wrong if that is what you want, but not when you just want it all separate

found out the answer to this via ADSL24 directly.
It seems like there is a bit of a delay anyway, but it looks like it will be fully LLU, in that case I will stay as I am.

It's simply another package we will be offering to reduce customer's monthly bills. If we are able to offer customers who require a bundled service for a better price than they are paying for line rental and broadband separately at present, we need to offer this as an option rather than lose that customer to TalkTalk or similar

Adsl24,

I checked your web site the other day and for my exchange (market 2 - TT LLU only) you were only offering up to 8Mbps adsl1 on IP Stream.

Will you be expanding your LLU deal to include market 2 exchanges that only have Opal/CPW as the LLU provider?

Hi,

We're 99% done on our line Opal rental & broadband service so yes, within the next few weeks we will be able to offer ADSL2+ on any Opal exchange as we take wholesale from them, so it's unfiltered and not rate limited etc.

James,

Will you be offering partial LLU (SMPF) also or will it be full LLU (MPF) only?

The SMPF stuff is through TalkTalk only which we don't provide as it's not cost effective. We can provide an Opal line rental + broadband package for less than just the TalkTalk broadband cost and the TT SMPF service is not as good. Plus, our BT packages would probably be cheaper which defeats the object.

James,

Thanks for the info, however I'm currently in a BT line rental contract for a few months yet but I will certainly check out your full LLU deals in the future

4M2.

Will your opal service be completely unlimited or will there be a FUP, I will hopefully also have the c&w service available when open reach sort it out. What are the uploads on these products going to be?

Not unlimited yet, that will cost quite a bit more. Even Talk Talk cap the usage - can't have everything for a cheaper monthly fee I guess

Upload is usual, 1Mb etc, basically it's an ADSL2+ connection.

Thanks

James
