Hey maybe my road will benefit from improved performance as I am on the trial

Re: Broadband Quality Trial

For those on 50 Mbit and on the trial I've put up a poll to gauge your BB experience over the last week or so.

Interested to see if those with issues suddenly found those issues go away!

Re: Broadband Quality Trial

Er - part of the terms of the trial is you can't discuss being on the trial!

Not sure if this was related to me but I'm not breaking the rules which say

"not make any public announcement, press release, communication or statement concerning the Trial"

and

"agree that you will treat as confidential all and any information which we may disclose to you during the Trial in relation to the Trial and/or your broadband internet service and that you will not disclose any such information in whole or in part to any third part."

Nothing there about asking people who are on the trail (with 50Mbit), by way of a poll, if their service has improved or not over the last week! I am asking about conditions that existed before the start of the trial.

Re: Broadband Quality Trial

Yes but by anyone answering the poll, they identify they are on the trial - which you are not allowed to do

It's not a public poll, and they are using online names, which we cannot traceback to them (easily).
Only the mods/admins could do so.

Summed up: Very unlikely anyone will know who they are.
