ADSL2+/21CN update

Just a quick update on progress.

We are still working with BT to help them resolve a number of issues. In theory we are in a position to actually migrate over 6% of existing lines to the new 21st Century links as orders are now able to be submitted to BT. However we are not keen to do so just yet as BT still do not have diagnostics, repair, or even migration code generation working yet. Until this is working we do not want hundreds of lines on the new service for obvious reasons.

This could change any day if BT fix the issues. We have a small number of test upgrades going through. If you would like to be one of the guinea pigs, please ask on irc. It takes a week!

Unfortunately the first such test orders have now past the contractual delivery date with nothing happening, so we cannot even be sure that ordinary upgrade orders are working properly yet.

We are very keen to get the 6% of customers moved before the end of September. We are doing all we can to help BT resolve the issues quickly.

However, we are hoping to launch our new web site this weekend.

Thank you all for your patience.

Some of these orders are now completing, several hours after the agreed time, so things are happening.

We will be upgrading a small batch of customers in a week's time.

They will be individually emailed.
