Re: Migration Query

Morning,
Credits aren't immediately visible, I've just checked your transactions and can see it now so you should be able to. As per the credit for May I'm not sure why you haven't received a message about this one was sent to your AOL address. I've forwarded a ticket to you and have copied your e-mail address in as a written confirmation instead.

Re: Migration Query

Hi Adam,
Thanks for sorting that, I can confirm I can see the April credit now and I have received the 2nd email about the May credit and can see the separate ticket you raised for this, I assume the first email went astray for some reason.......
One thing I forgot to mention was, are BT still going to be restricted to 2 hours this afternoon to sort the problem out?....Jason the engineer did tell me that its possible to book a job for more hours if needed as he believed it would be in  this case.

Re: Migration Query

Hi dogwhisperer,
Cheers for confirming that. As the engineer today has been specifically tasked to replace the E-side cable they should not stop after two hours if the job is not complete, so in other words no they would not be restricted to two hours. If for what ever reason they are unable to complete the job today it would be reassigned to another engineer who would most likely carry on the work over the weekend.

Hi Adam,
Yet again what you tell me BT are going to do is incorrect.....
BT engineer just phoned me, he has a 2 hour limit as normal, so it looks unlikely this will be fixed today........furthermore he hasn't been tasked to replace the E-side cable as you advised, he is going to start from scratch at the cabinet and if need be check the sync at the exchange.......
We haven't got the same engineer as last time either, this guy is called Wayne......
Is there anything you can do so this 2 hour window can be extended?....and find out why they are not replacing the E-side cable as they told you they would......

Re: Migration Query

Everything you have quoted there is correct and is what has been agreed between us and our suppliers. I'm on the phone right now to BT to do everything I can and find out why our requests have not been complied with.

Re: Migration Query

I've just finished the call To BT Wholesale and have escalated this issue further. As a result the engineer is now at the exchange replacing the faulty E-side cable. BTW are investigating why the engineer seems to be claiming that they will only work for two hours as this was booked through their SFI interventions team. When we book via that team any tasked maintenance or repair work is carried out for as long as it takes.
Every indication is that they should be able to finish the job within the allotted 2 hours despite this being against our wishes and intentions.  I will check on this again before clocking off today at 5.30 but if I am unable to give you some kind of confirmation of this being done at that point I will hand this over to an experienced colleague who is here on the weekend.

Re: Migration Query

Thanks very much Adam, I timed BT from the start of the job, they have 20 mins left.....
Internet has just come back on, I am now syncing at 3826 (with a solid 6db snr) and am showing just under 2mb download speeds and from the initial tests am now getting the throughput I should do.....my profile has dropped from 2500 to 2000, I assume that will rise again if I stay connected?.....as with those solid stats I reckon I can get over 2mb download speed......
I wont get too excited yet as have been here before and it didnt last long, I will need to do more tests over the weekend and report back to you.......
Hopefully this is the end of it all, many thanks for all your efforts and I hope you have an enjoyable bank holiday weekend.

Re: Migration Query

No problem,
That all seems to point towards the job being done. Sometimes after replacing a large section of cable an SNR reset will be initiated to restart line training to accomodate the new line conditions. By default when this is done you are put on to a 2mb profile. I'll be back on the phone to BTW shortly.
Here's hoping this is some progress before the long weekend eh!

Re: Migration Query

Re: Migration Query

I'm on hold with BT at the moment whilst they speak to the engineer in question. As far as I can tell the work is still under way. Even though their 2 hours are up the job is being handed over to another engineer via a frames engineer cooperation process at the moment which is good news.
I'll let you know all I can prior to 5.30, please hold tight in the meantime.

Re: Migration Query

I can't add much more at the moment I'm afraid as the engineers are still working on this and it would be counter-productive to chase for any more updates today. Please don't hold your breath but you should be contacted when this work completes. This may be this evening or it may be tomorrow.
I am doing what I can right now to hand your case to a colleague to check on the progress of this work and report back to you over the weekend.

Re: Migration Query

The engineers are still working on now which will account for the downtime. I have handed this over to a colleague who is going to check the progress of the work tomorrow and report back to you with an update. They won't however be replying via the forum.
Unless you receive any further responses in the meantime that's it from me personally until Tuesday. I sincerely hope this issue does get turned around before then.
