Exchange? We don't have exchanges, except in the telco side. I think they meant head-end.

Anyway, Watford is indeed ex-CWC/Bromley Platform/EuroDOCSIS or whatever you want to call it. C&W have a large office there that ntl borrowed part of when they took over CWC, and finally moved out of last year.

CR3 as an appellation was originally the third Bromley release (after CR1 and CR2, interestingly) which is pink. Someone then came up with the bright idea of using CR3 to mean the software release on the original ntl/Langley/DAVIC platform that brings in many of the same functions (most of which you can't see, but it's a big step in moving towards are more common platform).

LCR3 is shorthand on this site for Langley CR3, which is blue. I think I'll start using it at work too when this comes up.
