Really boring answer:

You will still be using the same equipment in the exchange.
If you swapped routers the bug would follow the router.

Don't know about SNMP but my Be Box (the TG585v7 - white thing) has a cut down CLI.

Can use DMT to view status but not to tweak anything

If only I was with OR. Id get so many faults fixed. And If I did ever become one, id jump a few people to the top of the list; tech broadband will have their very own OR insider!

[izools]

There are only so many pairs to go around!

If OR did for everyone what they did for me, they'd have no pairs left half way through!

I felt like I had my very own OR engineer today with two vans running around town re-routing my line for me

[krazykizza]

Wish they would do that for me!

I just checked online and they edited what I reported the fault as "Unable to make outgoing calls. Now incoming calls OK but no Dialtone"

I guess they had to put that to justify binning the old E-Side, huh?

still im jealous, i need to get me some A class OR treatment. 15db SNR, hello?!?! its 6db down the road.

nice one izools!!!
i just need em to dig up the road and replace the D-side with copper and i should be good to go!
do you reckon this will happen when they replace the pole?

[izools]

Openreach do like to replace as much Ali as possible when they have the chance to do so.

So you're getting a new pole huh? How come?

[Jake]

end of life i guess. its got some big cracks in it and its very thin!!
