[HLUG] Ref- Router...

[Matt Rhys-Roberts]

I did hear on the grapevine that BT are, to some extent, gradually 
removing DAX's, and/or making it so that their most rural customers 
ought to be able to get broadband at at least 512kbits per second. The 
more recalcitrant DAXs and slow lines may be persuaded to go away, at 
BT's leisure, with a big enough pile of local signatures, depending on 
the 'trigger level' of required signatures that BT have set for a 
particular area. This trigger level may fluctuate, depending on customer 
noise power!
