-pops- Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Been with BT since 1995. I don't see any reason to change and the more I read about those inexcusable cockups from all the other Internet providers, the less tempted I become.

catgate Posted October 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 I was interested in the fact that it was LLU equipment. LLUs use equipment installed in a telephone exchange by a third party company, such as Orange, instead of BT.This same equipment (or more correctly the slow installation of it) that was blamed for the poor service performance by Talk-talk, and the start of their problems. Where do BT fit into this business? Are they being unhelpful? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Where do BT fit into this business? Are they being unhelpful?Why should BT be helpful? I'm not suggesting that they are behaving in anything other than a professional manner but they have been forced by Act of Parliament to allow other companies on to their premises and attach complex equipment to their own telecomms infrastructure. BT cannot be blamed when this equipment does not function correctly.It is the owners/users/suppliers of the LLU hardware and software who are responsible for its functioning and maintenance.
