Is this a completely new UBR, or an existing one being replaced? I'm on UBR03, so I don't suppose it helps me, unless the resegmentation work helps my UBR cope a bit better with demand (I should imagine demand is high in this particular area, because we are right on the edge of not being able to receive ADSL).

Since the beginning of May, I've been seeing at best 4%-5% packet loss when pinging known good hosts. Sometimes it's been so bad that I haven't been able to connect to anything (more than 50% packet loss).

Just hope they can sort it out soon! (I appreciate it's hard work, but it would be so nice to know when or if to expect a light at the end of the tunnel).

Steve.
