Aus I have not claimed to know a lot about transportation of addresses etc, it’s not an area I have had a lot of involvement in. The point is unless there is serious crime to be looked into, nobody is going to attempt to track down millions of people streaming content that perhaps should be paid for, that was the basis of the start of this topic due to the post of Hallywood.
I know several people who have been doing this for years and I bet you and everybody on this forum do also.
Along with reading a lot perhaps you could consider, to back up your web searching, actually doing some real world work for a modern telecoms company in an engineering position to improve your credibility in the subject...

As for identifying a user, nobody is really going to get that involved unless it involves, serious crime, or perhaps to identify a few people streaming content they should perhaps be paying for, to act as an advert to others doing so, in the hope they may cause some people to think again about doing it. There are probably tens of millions of people around the world streaming for free, no content supplier is going to bother trying to track them all down, they would go bust in no time. So no point in trying to frighten people, probably several millions in just the UK, that someone is looking for them. It ain’t gonna happen.

Ummmmm

It matters not what BT do, or do not do. There will always be that one person who will put them down every step of the way.

Thank you Pete. It in reference to the first line of a post by Aus3009 on 25/4/1 @ 04.18 it is,,,
“It’s okay lil Rod, you can trust me when I say these are not retired engineers.”

Aus3009.

To denigrate a person who has issues in using the correct version of a spelling is something to be proud of. You may not like the fact that I sometimes use the wrong version of a spelling, but it’s a fact of many peoples lives that they learn to live with. Trolling, if you believe that a counter view to yours when it comes to the complexity of a telecoms network, from people who have spent there working life in the industry having a real world insight is trolling then fine. You still haven’t managed to provide evidence that I have not worked for BT, just simply ignore the question.
This from somebody who has indicated on this site may well be in the legal profession you would think evidence was important

NDN - I don’t / try not to discuss any personal details on a public board. I would strongly advise you, or anyone else to do the same.

That advice alone should indicate my profession, along with an inflated fee for the advice.

Not sure that BT will be to interested in having two networks to upgrade at the same time with only marginal access to areas that the network could supply that they do not yet have easy access to. But, Aus maybe getting excited as this could offer VM a way of achieving full national access. It could give them the opportunity to offer there full services outside of there existing areas, but again is it worth trying to upgrade two networks at the same time. Also Voda may consider it as an opportunity to extend there network to a full national one without using BTs local network as at present for some services. What ever happens I bet it won’t stop the dreaded bus replacement service...

Aus. First still no evidence from you that people who claim to have or are employed by a UK telecoms company, are not or have not. Why is that.

SDH. In video 1 it talks about using SDH in the network as it has faster speed over the link than older tech and is used for business voice. So it is in there new network.

At the customer end in video 3 it shows there Omni box converting light to an electrical signal. The power for that has to come from the customer router vi the coax feeding it from the Omni box . In the BT network the Fibre ends inside the customer router via a patch Fibre lead no need to convert to an electrical signal at some other location within the premises.

Network management from the head end to the end user. Not needed really. The customer router and the head end talk to each other, a bit like “ are you there ? yes I am “
Network records will show the distance between given points, so as Fleccy pointed out all that is needed is a Reflecomiter, not sure that’s spelt correctly, to measure from a given point how fr it is to either a pice or terminal equipment or a damaged Fibre. If you know what you are looking at you can count every splice point in a link. So if a customer has a fault and it is tested to be in the network Fibre then you will likely know where the problem is located and send someone to the right place probably 75% of the time.

Aus. First, please supply evidence that those who say they have, or are now, employed by a telecoms company based in the UK, are in fact deceiving anybody.

Second, my car is able to do 150mph, but the reality is it only uses about 50% of its capabilities, speed is the ability to do not that it has to do it. As for the number of premises BT could deploy ultra high speed connectivity, as many as you want. You Oder the correct product, pay the price and you can have it.

RM. The lack of Far Eastern ladies of the night is really getting to you after a year, eh.
Still all I can say is, Evelyn Beatrice Hall. Free speech...

Thanks for that Fleccy. So SDH is part of there new world, wow, it’s at the point of being retired in BTs network ! Could they make there local network more complex and therefore more susceptible to fault conditions. Fibre, coax, twisted pair, powered street furniture. Depending on where there customers live. There new world FTTP needs street cabs that are powered, hundreds of them in most urban areas, though some will not need power give them that. Then when you get to the end users home, it gets converted back to coax !!! which the customer it appears has to supply the power for as well as the termination unit. Compared to BTs offering which in nearly all locations will not require powered street furniture, less street furniture than at present as most splicing of Fibers can be done in existing manholes and mounted on existing poles. The only power requirement at the customer end will be for the router, not to convert a Fibre path to a coax path then a router.
Now honestly, which will end up being the more reliable, greener, and end user friendly...

“ if Aus wants to argue with just about everybody about just about everything “
Never was a truer word...

Yup. Sure has. No timescale as when my address could be offered access to Virgin fibre. Guess that’s because there nearest bit of glass in the ground to connect me to is about 27 miles away.Can’t even get there BB or TV over my Openreach twisted pair service. Ho Hum...

The thing is they are and will be behind the curve. BT started it’s FTTP rollout over 2 years ago, VM talked the talk, but have waited until now to attempt a national rollout. By the time they actually come out of there geography into the real world it will no doubt be at least the end of this year. I have no doubt that at the end of the day they will still cherry pick where to go. Still bring it on. Also hope they can find the contractors and equipment needed for such a real rollout, as most of the civil works and telco contractors in the UK have all the work they can handle at present with BT and other altnets...

Don’t forget they would be starting this with over £17b debt, add in the costs of the hardware and its installation. Perhaps OFCOM may ask them to offer access to there ducts etc as part of agreeing to this request, if they did , bet there minds would change pretty quickly , let others play with our toys, no no no...

Nige . “
I'm not intending to upset anyone here but can BT frontline workers really be classed as heroes? Heroes, really, for doing their job? I think not.”
Could the same not be said of the managers, I suspect they will also be getting a little something extra for, just doing there job. Not just in BT but many other companies. As to the one-off payment of £1000 bet that is taxable and also unlike a permanent pay rise, not personable income. I know which many would prefer but no doubt some will say make it an AVC into there pension it they are that concerned. GLA

Most of the high value copper cables have been removed here practical to do so. These are the old Trunk network cables that used to connect exchanges to each other, having been replaced by fibre derived connections. The next to go and next in value are the E side cables. These connect your local exchange to the street cabinets, green boxes, but some of these are not copper but Aluminium and will be needed until that route is fully replaced by Fibre. The last to go and least value will be the Dside cables, the ones from the cabinet to the end user, again a large amount of this is Aluminium possibly in excess of around 60%. So a long time to go and not all high value Copper or easy to remove in some cases. Some money to be made but also a lot of expense in getting it out without causing damage to other cables.

Long. Yes the overhead copper wires will go, only to be replaced by DropFibre, there will still be hundreds of miles of infrastructure above our heads. Very good day.

"5G licenses could make a big hole in the finances?"
Yup a hole that helped cause the price to rise to £1.50.

They did not listen to yesterdays advice then, went ahead and spent some money. Ho Hum

Probably better to pull out of the auction, save the money for something that will grow the business. Let the others have the licences...
