SNR reset request

Hi,
Hopefully the same helpful people are still here from Plusnet?
I have requested my SNR be reset to 6db (BT messing about again in exchange, reset to 12db)
This is the ticket number 22417297, but the support guys are messing me about again, they say they cannot request this be changed (even though they did a couple of months ago!)
Please can someone arrange for this to happen?
Thanks in advance,
Jon.

Re: SNR reset request

Hi again,
If you have a look at your ticket, it's now with BT.

Re: SNR reset request

James,
I have had a reply to my ticket (22417297).
It says BT cannot find a fault on my line!!
It seems that someone is missing the point!
Please can you action the request again to reset mny SNR to 6db (its still at 12db even after reboot)
I think you may have to use a different coloured crayon in your request to BT!! (dig at BT not Plusnet or yourself!!)
Cheers,
Jon.

Re: SNR reset request

Jon,
I've just replied to your ticket.  This is not uncommon and I've fired the fault back to BT.

From my limited experience it's absolutely standard - I really wonder how much money/time BTw waste though not reading the initial request before initiating the standard fault checks.

Re: SNR reset request

I'm sure they must have got it right first time at least once, so I didn't want to say that it happened all of the time!

Judging from the avatar James uses, probably pink.

Don't diss the pink shoes.  They are legendary in PlusNet Comms Folklore.

Are the ones in the avatar actual size? Tongue
On a serious note we have had problems getting the SNR changed in the past, and it usually involves at least one pass back to BT unfortunately.

Re: SNR reset request

Ive had to have the SNR reset in the past, and this is what happened that time too! Actually it took 2 months from start to finish!
Question for you though - This is the second time this has happened now. Is this becoming a common occurance in general?
The first time my SNR went to 12db was after over 12 months of completely trouble free service and corresponded to BT doing some VP capacity work in my exchange!!
The second time is once again out of the blue - absolutely no issues up until my SNR changing.
I have a friend with plusnet who this has happened to as well - same circumstances as the first scenario mentioned.
Basically it seems our SNR targets are being reset for no reason i.e. in all 3 instances there were 0% line issues, no disconnects etc. etc.
Cheers,
Jon.

Re: SNR reset request

It may be an idea to look into hardware which is compatible with the DMT Tool which allows you to set your SNR at the router end.  I do fdully appreciate however that this is not convenient and isn't something that you as a customer should be expected to do.  I'm merely suggesting it as something that you could do.
MaxDSL is a bit of a pain for this reason and also for its blip logic.  there may well have been a very temporary fault on the line which you didn't nitice and as such the target SNR was changed at BT's end.  Yes, it's a pain, but unfortunately the only thing that we can do is to raise a fault when these issues occur.
I've already had words with our account manager about BT Wholesale's apparently inability to read notes on faults.
