Just got my Plusnet internet bill, still in credit after Openreach messed up reallly badly.
I have another two months of zero bills. But I need to remember I start paying in August. -
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..

Openreach's Full Fibre Promises Contradicted by 'Uneconomical' Declarations
Openreach says full fibre broadband is uneconomical for some homes, even after saying it's possible. This stops people from getting faster internet.

Some people are told they can't get full fibre internet by Openreach, even when it seemed possible. The company says it costs too much for these homes. This means people cannot get faster internet speeds.

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?

Very useful #TestNumbers (for #UK #IE #USA #CA and #MX ) for testing all kinds of #telephones (from your #mobilephone to #VOIP and even any remaining #landlines) - they provide the same level of tests that #Openreach and other telcos have access to, you can check if #DTMF is working well and that #codecs or poor #network conditions aren't mangling the audio..

Wow. An #OpenReach truck just rolled up and is preparing to lay Fibre to our street.
Finally ,it seems we will have competition on pricing for #FTTP service in our area 😉🖖

Full-fibre FTTP telegraph poles finally arriving in our village. Don’t know why they couldn’t just use the existing poles, and of course they’re ugly compared to underground ducting, but it’s high time the local Virgin Media monopoly was broken. #broadband #OpenReach #fttp

This large "house" in #Stowmarket #Suffolk #England might look a bit unusual - round the corner you can see why - it is the local #TelephoneExchange ! (it is apparently going to be kept after analogue circuit switch off, as its used as a handover point for #fibre circuits)

Pure ragin. Openreach *twice* made *me* confirm a date and time slot....then *they* don't turn up. 💁♀️

Anyone out there with #ZenInternet FTTP via #OpenReach having problems?
Mine went down at around 16:19 and I’m getting pppoe errors on the router (“unable to complete pppoe discovery phase 1”). Tried rebooting the ONT and router to no avail 😕

@tiggy It took four visits to get my fibre installed, three by Openretch subcontractors and the final one (yesterday) from an Openreach engineer. He did an excellent job, keeping me informed and discussing options how/where to fit things. I also noticed he carefully collected all the rubbish and took it with him.
Not impressed with the subcontractors but happy with this guy.

Anyone else using #zen internet, specifically via #OpenReach FTTP, having problems accessing hosts on #janet / #jisc networks this morning?
Traceroutes are failing for me around lag-0.bng1.ixn-lon.zen.net.uk and lag-4.p2.ixn-lon.zen.net.uk
NB. my "internet" seems fine, it's just stuff on Jisc/JANET I can't access

30 high value #bicycles have been #stolen from a #bikeshop in Rushmere St Andrew (a suburb just outside #Ipswich in East #Suffolk) by sophisticated #criminals who disabled outside #CCTV and cut #Openreach cables (to prevent #alarms and CCTV activating).

My broadband provider just called again, the saga of trying to connect me to full fibre continues.
Openreach are now claiming they can't proceed because they don't know who the leaseholder is.
Context: in the UK land is sometimes rented on a long lease instead of being sold for building. Especially for flats. The leaseholder owns the building but in effect rents the land.
A few weeks ago their excuse was they didn't know who my landlord was.I live in local authority/ council housing. They have known this since last November. Therefore there is no leaseholder, just me the tenant and local government/the council is the owner.
Plusnet have tried yet again to escalate this to senior management but Openreach refuse every time.
