by all accounts these areas will now be monitored and a comparison made between faults raised on customers that related to issues in the cabs before the audits/upgrade and how they perform afterwards.if its obvious that the fault rate has dropped dramatically (because of the extensive audit) then they are looking to roll it out as a norm.
i think the worst performing cabinets (there is extensive data to confirm which these are) will be hit first,then it will be done on an 'as reported' basis,i.e. techs reporting to the team the cabinets on 'their patch' that give them,as individuals,the greatest headaches.  |
I am aware that there was overbuild in the North East. I'm aware that analogue switch off helps with CPD. It's great that this extra work is happening in overbuilt areas though it should be asked how this helps people on networks that aren't overbuilt and are running on 20 year old actives and pegged at 550/30?
A few of those areas, especially on the ex-Telewest side.
