its a Smaller Gefeller it used to have alot more lines on it before they put a big cable in to the primary school sadly they wont bring the cable up to us as it would cost too much

when i worked on Exchange maintenace it was a rite PITA and well known to most Midwales & The marches engineers we had a few spares not many though theyre used alot in Scotland

FAO The Boy the exchange is a UXD 5 Aswell so sometimes no service is provided lol

Only recall 2 gfellas in my old area, when I used to do a real job.  Bloody loads of smaller concentrators, inc the 16 line ones.  One of them (remote unit) was unreliable, but I couldn't get authority to replace it.  Until it annoyed be one day, so I gave it a good kicking, which finally killed it

WB900 was also the order of the day.  1 poor barsteward farm had 3 lines in his property, all 3 carriers, so all 3 used to die during extended power cuts (common)

WB900 yeah i remeber them we had a case of fraud in our patch someone had the 1+1 unit in there house and used to hook onto next doors line with it so a job was raised to move it!

i remeber going on a tour round the technology centre (adastral) where i was told theyd managed to get ADSL to work on DACS at 512k a sec per customer this was quite sometime ago and so i assume the project didnt work as well as expected

there are a few exchanges round here that are so isolated theyre fed via 18G radio one exchange even has its DSLAM fed via 18G

Properly fitted with the later filters, the audio was not available to the carrier's premises.

A lot of stuff at BTL/Adastral never make it out beyond trial for various reasons - usually financial or political.

No real reason why DACS was so shite apart from politcal (it ran at same 144k that ISDN2 used )
