Re: GEA Test

@lzjoker It means there may be a fault on the phone line.

Do you use it at all?

Re: GEA Test

May I ask, out of curiosity, what is meant by a "GEA test"?

 

About 20 minutes googling tells me "GEA" stands for "Generic ethernet access". It seems be  something provided by Plusnet to their customers. Or maybe BT to Plusnet.  Can anyone point me to something that specifies what GEA is? Or, even better, what a GEA test actually tests?  (I'm always very suspicious of TLAs...).

Re: GEA Test

The test results that you've been provided with are results from a test that's been run via tool provided by our suppliers, the same test that all ISP's use (whether they use it in the same capacity as we do, is unknown).

The test (as far as I know), is software driven and reports back on details regarding your connection. I believe the information we pull back is provided by BT which pulls the information from your Local Exchange per our request to test your connection.

I wrote a guide on what those tests look like here: http://community.plus.net/library/broadband/broadband-faults-guide-our-testing/ (I wrote this a while ago but it should be still relevant).
