Does the 'ModulationType' on your Livebox System Information page state 'ADSL_G.dmt' or 'ADSL2+'?

If it's the first you'll be in IPStream, second LLU.

I'm not using the Livebox, just a generic Belkin router.

See if you can authenticate without the '@fs' at the end of your username.

If you can you're on LLU.

I've tried that before, it appears to connect, but actually automatically shoves the @fs back onto the end of the username.

My exchange is LLU'd but apparently there's no room on it so I've been stuck on IPStream.

Yes. I was replying to beej, who's not using an ISP-locked router :-)

Ok - gimme a sec, I'l try...

Edit: Ok, definitely couldn't connect without the @fs on my username. So what does this mean (sorry for not being properly informed!).

I thought all the up to 8meg BB packages were LLU these days... obviously not in this case... Is LLU the "up to 24meg" packages that are being advertised..? My exchange doesn't support that yet.

No.

If your router's upload sync rate is 448kbps, that's 99.99% certain it's BTw IPStream......it would be a total fluke if it was anything other.

Upstream is indeed 448kbps.

So IPStream is the old, conventional it's-always-been-like-it ADSL broadband.

So, back to the original question, which was is Orange EUSC-ing LLU customers, or just IPStream..?

Both but IPStream more so.

FUP applies to LLU....I think it's if you download more than 5GB during peak hours (17.30 to 24.00) in a month, you're reduced to 0.5MB altho I don't believe this is put in writing.

On IPStream Orange are now able to manipulate an individual's connection how they wish........Google "BT eusc document"

I would post some more on the issue, but it's peak time, and I have to watch my bandwidth on my Broadband Max package, so... Razz

Note: If anyone wants to know the details of the throttling, the behaviour I see here is as follows:

Generally, my connection on full speed runs about 870Kb/s.

During peak times, if I start a single download, I get the full 870Kb/s for about Three seconds, at which point the d/l speed halves to around 420Kb/s. It stays at half speed for about 30 seconds, and if the download still continues, the speed halves again (now a quarter of the line speed) to about 200Kb/s, where it seems to stay.

Just for info...

All times are GMT
