LLU but not LLU

anyone else noticed that their telephone number now comes up as
an LLU number in the checkers even though there is definitely no
LLU at the exchange ?

Apparently this is something to do with BT Wholesale.

Has anyone more info. on this. ?

Can you give me an example chcker which shows this?

BTwholesale-based broadband will be considered to be LLU now, so that
all the LLU operators have a level playing field with Openreach, rather
than BTwholesale having more/different access as they did a couple of
years ago.

its so a BTw connection looks the same on the systems as a real SMPF
LLU connection. OFCOM's requirement for "equivalence".

The checkers on providers sites, used to check the number
prior to ordering. eg Pipex, Sky and BT all say LLU AND
don't allow proceeding with the order, presumably unless you
do it manually by phone.

Thanks for the info.

It may, of course, simply be that you are on non-BTw LLU.

We've seen it on a number of migration orders we've received.

Occassionally it has actually been because the line was LLU'd without
notice and the LLU operator has not made it public that they are at the
exchange.

On other occassions it's been an error in the BT database.

You can determine what the case really is by calling BT on 0800 169 0934
during business hours. This is the tag on line team, who will speak to the
public and who do have the ability to see what is really happening on the
line and get errors fixed.

Thats a bit disturbing. I would pick your provider then try giving them a
call. Most providers will not use the checker provided on their web site as
it holds back information and greedy sales agents should make a decent
effort to get you accurate information (unless they dont get punished for
Pre live losses).

If youre on SMPF you should be ok to move across (this should be the case if
BTW is now considered SMPF).
