What percentage of Green lines pass?

What percentage of lines that pre-test Green for 512k only ie RG
actually pass the line test when the exchange is activated? What
percentage for Amber ie RA ?

are G lines tested or just enabled ? There are people who were enabled
then had problems and the loss on testing was too high, so I think
that Green lines are just enabled without a test.

They are 'paper' tested.

No. That's a paper check on distance from the exchange.

The paper check that is done on a line greater than 2.5km (iirc) is a
paper one comparing the house line with other houses in the area and if
they've all successfully passed or not. If there are no problems then
the line is activated.

well, I've just put an order in with Demon for adsl on my line in
Thornbury (exchange enabled & line ordered 3/9/03).
I've today got an e-mail headed

'EC Quality Check Result - success ...'

what's that? Paper test, real data??? (can't be an inter comparison with
adjacent enabled houses after only 24 hours of exchange-uptime surely)
