Abel01,

Sorry I still don't understand that: is it some sort of waiting list queue for LLU where folks are put on/remain on IP stream initially and pay the lower price quoted for full LLU?

Nope, sorry should have been more clear. It's nothing to do with any kind of waiting list or anything to do with IPStream.
It's an engineering resource tool to enable LLU equipment in an exchange to be reserved when capacity is running low

Abel01,

Cheers - I'll have to read up about that sometime - guess it applies to SMPF also?

We did get a report from a customer using the same scanner as you.
Our site is scanned everyday, but when we got that report we also got some third party scans done and they all showed up as clean, but thank you for letting us know.

Probably just an IFrame method that is spotted and is used by someone for less than safe things...

KIS appears to produce lots of false positives

Norton DNS is fine with your site, it's just KIS2012 doing the blocking at the moment.

Yes, I had problems with KIS blocking a video codec (CineForm v6) a while ago which was a bit of a hassle

I did put my phone number into the Vivaciti site and it says.

ADSL2+ LLU 100GB FUP

So sometime this year Talk Talk did work on the Jedburgh exchange and i can now get LLU either through Talk Talk or Vivaciti.

Well that's good, i'm still surprised though.

It would be extra nice if i could get higher speeds on upload since my website is around 3GB in size and backups take a long time at 448kbp/s. I'm actually happy enough with the 5.5mbp/s i currently get on download, although more speed is also nice.

I'm currently with Zen, if i wanted to go LLU would i get a MAC code or just ask Talk Talk to put me on their LLU service, can i be guaranteed it will be LLU and they won't put me on an inferior IPstream product. ( thats Talk Talk )

I do website backups sometimes in the evening, maybe once a month, would Talk Talk see the FTP backup taking place and confuse it with P2P ( never use ) and throttle my speed, i do enjoy online gaming and don't want speed capped, is LLU with Talk Talk good at not throttling online gaming or indeed IPlayer or movie trailer downloads, if all they throttle is P2P then thats fine as i don't use it, i just wonder how they differentiate between P2P and applications like FTP and IPlayer and downloads.

Just noticed that the Vivaciti site says ADSL2+ LLU - offers unlimited usage on the LLU platform (C&W) Not available at your exchange, does this mean there is a capacity issue at my exchange, why do i not get that offer. ?

Finally, am i right in saying that higher upload and download speeds depend on BT carrying out work at my local exchange. ?

Thanks for everyones help, looks like i may be able to save some money with LLU although i'll actually be a little sad to leave behind the excellent reliable service that Zen Internet gives me, i also know it might be costly to go back to Zen should Talk Talk disappoint me and the only way they would do that is by throttling me during peak times. ( something i experienced once with Virgin many years ago and don't wish to experience again )

TalkTalk1969,

Probably best for you to check with vivaciti regarding your requirements. I'm pretty sure that they can offer you partial LLU (SMPF) rather than TalkTalk's full LLU (MPF) if your exchange is unbundled. Partial LLU should allow you to return to IP stream (and Zen) without any costly problems if you wanted. TalkTalk would probably be the cheaper monthly option but you could have some major headaches them.

You might as well get a MAC key from Zen whether it's actually needed or not and it will be valid for a month.

These are just my opinions and others may have very different advice and information.

Best of luck

Yeah but there would then be no point in leaving Zen since the price is not that different, the only reason i am considering leaving Zen is to save money and if i can be guaranteed LLU and no throttling issues during peak times then i'll jump ship.
