I don't quite understand why you are stating it works on 3 different routers, it has to work whatever router you are using as it is a parameter on the FTTP network, all user connections have to use the correct VLAN ID. I quite like the name Cutyfibre though.

Not well written - apologies. I wanted to confirm the value. The ref to 3 different routers was to the fact that I've wrestled for some weeks to try and get the network setup on FTTP that we had on FTTC and it had taken three different routers to get there - and each time I've had to input the VLan ID

This is true for both Cityfibre and Cutyfibre 😄

Thanks for confirming my suspicion Carl. It's a pity though. ADSL2+ could gain from local DSLAMs. Could even perhaps take some slow areas above 10Mbps.

It'd wipe out ADSL from the exchange with crosstalk. LLU operators refused to permit Openreach to do it so the trial was abandoned.

Ah! Obvious once you point it out. /me D'oh!

But, that is surely historical, in that the days where the "LLU" suppliers getting up to speed with FTTC are long gone. These days it would make a lot of sense, as non-FFTC areas would not be affected, and FTTC areas would benefit from all suppliers.

Though perhaps it would need 100% of ADSLx users to be switched to the FTTC cabinets almost instantaneously (per cabinet), and all providers to be able to handle the change of direction. No small task in itself.

Plus many FTTC cabinets or their PCPs could need additional ports/add-ons.

All things considered, sounds like it a no-no at this point in time .
