Am I using LLU?


[link to this post]
 
My exchange (WSBRW) was recently unbundled. Is there a way to verify I'm actually using LLU?

Brief router stats...

Mode: ADSL2+
Bandwidth: Down/Up 20950/928
SNR: Down/Up 5.9/7.2
Attenuation: Down/Up 4.0/2.5

Typical Download/Upload speeds are 17592Kbps/758Kbps

On TT Essentials, approx 800yds from exchange.

Any thoughts appreciated.

I'd guess you are based on that sync alone. I don't think TT are doing ADSL2+ via BT at this time.

Almost certainly LLU since you sync above 8Mb/s and your exchange doesn't look to have had the 21CN update.

Try connecting to the BT speedtester http://speedtester.bt.com .

If you can, you're not.

If you are you'll get an error message, but not being on an LLU'd line myself I'm not sure what it is.

Indeed smile

After a bit more research I discovered that if you dial 17070 on an LLU connection the automated voice reads back your phone number twice then hangs up. Not sure if it is a valid test but it seems to work for others.

Thanks for the prompt replies

Presumably that only applies if the voice side of things has been unbundled too... could be useful, thanks smile

No, it doesn't. It announces your "circuit" # once, providing you don't withhold it, and then reads the BT Line Test menu.

I am with TT LLU and all I get is my circuit defined as : then my number. This plays twice and then cuts off.
