- Am I LLU?
- Posted by Grumps on May 26th, 2008
Hi All
I have been with my current ISP for a number of years and have had a nice
stable rate of about 6500k down, 448k up.
I now notice that my down rate is 5500k but the up rate is over 700k. Is
this an indication that I've been LLU'd?
If so, what're the downsides of this (apart from a lower download rate that
I'm experiencing) ?
Ta.

This will tell you if your exchange is LLU enabled.

Thanks. My exchange has been LLU'd for a while.
Are ISPs allowed to swap you to their LLU stuff without asking, and is there
any negative aspects of LLU?

So ot seems.
It may be more difficult to change ISP and might conceivably cost £47. Not
certain what Ofcom has done to address this. You'll certainly get a longer 'down
time'.

Well, the T&Cs say that they can do WTF they like, but will give 30 days
notice. They haven't.

I haven't seen the specific T&Cs you/they are bound to, so these are
general comments.
I would be surprised if changing the wholesaler for a ADSL service
constituted a material change in the service an ISP is providing, unless
such a change led to a drastically reduced quality of service or a
significant period of downtime.
Some will argue that if the subscriber subsequently wanted to move to
another ISP who used a different wholesaler that that ISP incurs a
higher charge than if you migrated between ISPs on the same wholesaler,
and that the ISP may pass this charge in part or whole onto the
subscriber, but that is between the subscriber and the new ISP, not the
old ISP.
For reference, the BTwholesale charge (to the gaining SP) to migrate
between ISPs is £11. The Openreach charge to move from one wholesaler to
another (SMPF) is £34.86, to cease a line is £4.90. BTwholesale charge
the same as Openreach to "activate" ADSL on a line (either a line with
no ADSL on previously, or a line moving from another wholesaler to
BTwholesale).

As far as OFCOM is concerned it should be no more difficulty in migrating a
LLU service than the older BT carrier based ones. How the service providers
look at it could be another matter.

I migrated last year from Nildram (LLU) to Be (LLU) and the downtime using a
MAC number was the grand total of under 10 minutes. Have things changed
recently?

The direction of the wind may also have some effect as well ;-)
