London’s broadband divide widens: Bexley leads while other boroughs lag far behind

A new digital divide could open up in London, with millions of people missing out on faster, more…

I get 900/100 service from my ISP, Zen, but that's irrelevant, as we're dealing with the layer 2 connection between the proxmox NIC and the ONT.

If I force the link speed on the proxmox NIC to speed=2500 I get an error about the driver not supporting forced settings, and the link goes down. It only comes back up if I set it to auto again.

Like I say, I'm only on a 900/100 package from Zen, but I'd still expect the NIC and ONT to negotiate a 2.5Gb/s link 🤔

Question for anyone out there running a combination of #OPNsense (26.7.1) as a guest on #proxmox (9.2.10) with #openreach fibre:

Does your external NIC negotiate 2.5Gb/s with the openreach ONT?

Mine only negotiates 1Gb/s, even though it's an Intel I225-V (rev 3) NIC that is 2.5GbE capable, as is the ONT.

The NIC is not passed through to the OPNsense guest, it's on a Linux bridge in proxmox with the guest given a virtual NIC on the bridge. OPNsense sees the vnic as 10Gb/s

I'm back!

I've had no home interwebnetz for the past few days, until the nice #Openreach man came and fixed it. Turns out that the fault was ... the local scrotes had snipped the wire outside my flat. Snipped it, not just ripped it out. They did quite a neat job.

Anyway, what did I miss?

Now the other two are ported - all the #analogue #trunks are ceased and all traffic to and from the #PSTN from this #PBX is now #VOIP (using #PJSIP trunks on #FreePBX )

I disconnected all the analogue lines as #Openreach leave battery on them, that way they show as RED alarm on #Asterisk and won't be selected for any calls (worst case is they return a busy trunk status and the route will go to the next trunk, but I've taken away all the analogue circuits from every PSTN route)

I made up a folder for all my #telecoms tech info (for two #PBX I built, general #SIP #VOIP and #ATA configurations and other useful stuff as much is easier to read in paper form than on the screen!)

I thought the "Trunks" cartoon from @alex was a good choice for the cover, along with the "ELEPHANT EXCHONGE" lettering from a Telephone Exchange in SE England (after #Openreach engineers moved the individual letters around) 😁

There's other stuff in the folder than the Ofcom and ITU documents, about internal configs but I can't share it for cybersecurity reasons (I will put the sanitised info on my blog at some point to help others setting up VOIP systems)

One (1) #telephone number successfully ported to #VOIP, one more left to go (there's 2 pairs for main and aux line, provisioned on same number but those will go to 3 channel #SIP trunk)

For some reason #Openreach have left battery on the pair (I would have thought they would want to recover capacity on the line card and it would just go dis, as there are still going to be a handful of customers remaining on #PSTN circuits.

I thought a lot of "analogue" trunks these days were literally just a SIP ATA connected to the copper pair at the Telephone Exchange (or from a street cabinet) but it looks like Openreach really are getting the last out of the old #SystemX kit!

There is no dialtone or even NU tone, just some noise..

Having failed to check their paperwork until the second day of the 3 day permit, found it lacking they have now pushed this all back to the 27th Feb - 3rd March.

Of course there has been no communication of this, I've had to discover it by looking on https://one.network (like the last 2 times)

So we are now looking at 3.5 to 4 months late

ARGH! Work that was promised done before the 30th of Dec 2025, then scheduled for 21st Jan and pushed to the 16-18th of Feb has been postponed because the "safe prints" have expired (with no explanation as to what that actually means). Currently no new date available.

One has to ask when they expired and why nobody decided to check them before today?
