>> On Mar 02, 2009 at 01:04, PC Help Brighton praised the llamas by saying:
>>> I have been having the same problems with Tiscali, after almost a month of being on the phone, they finally admitted to me that there is severe congestion on the hove exchange (I have verified this elsewhere).
>>>
>> Tiscali have unbundled lines in the Hove exchange, so this would be
>> limited to Tiscali's service.
>>
>>> So I guess is affecting all isp's (except BT it would seem, who give their packets higher priority).
>>
>> If it's an unbundled line, like Be would be, then it wouldn't be
>> affected by problems with BT's ADSL service
>>>
>>> The congestion will not be resolved until the upgrade to 21CN is carried out in June. That is my understanding.
>>>
>> 21CN would only help BT's wholesale service, not Tiscali or Be. By all
>> accounts Hove will be ready for broadband via 21CN by the end of this
>> month. Voice calls are already using it.
