BT Wholesale Extends ADSL Trials
Posted: 14th Jun, 2003 By: Anne
The ADSL extended range pilot to change the planning limits from 55dB to 60dB has been increased to include another 1000 lines from the 9th July. If anyone wants to be included in these trails they need to try and contact BT it is mainly those who failed to get ADSL due to being to far from the exchange.
The trial to date has ran with 100 BT employees and has performed very well, with an error rate no higher than existing users. In fact BT has stated that 100% of the lines were installed and continue to work well. BT Wholesale wants to expand the trial ten-fold to ensure that a wider range of customer hardware and telephone lines are tested. This testing is to ensure that the number of faults experienced will not be excessively high when the extended reach limits become the standard limits for all 512kbps ADSL services.
BT Wholesale will be contacting people who have managed to contact BT directly about the extended reach trial, and informing them to submit another order after 9th July 2003 to the ISP of their choice. We should add that participation in the trial is not compulsory for service providers, so some may refuse to take orders for the trial.
Full details of the expanded pilot including timescales and how to get
involved will be made available to Service Providers in the next week.
These extended trials can only be good news for those who before felt they was excluded from the broadband rollout. More @ ADSLguide.
