Title: RE: [ukha_d] Good ADSL News at
last...
Ah well, (I'm a bit doubtful about the more) but not much
we can do about I suppose...

From our point of view YES.
But I doubt that it makes sense from BT's point of
view.
The rack wouldnt be any cheaper to install, infact a remote
exchange could well cost more.
Also..... if it was a fixed percentage, you may need MORE
people than now !
Keith (just MY personal opinion of course)

I know this is a hopeless cause, but given the wide range
wouldn't it have been fairer for BT to set a % threshold (say 1%) rather
than an absolute number (200-500)?
Anyway at least they are doing something.

Depends on the type and location of exchange :-)
Rural Exchanges < 3000 (Some remote UXD5's in Scotland
and Wales only have 200-300 lines)
Towns < 30,000
Large Towns and Cities Can be 100,000 lines
You can guess the size of the exchange roughly by looking
at the number ranges
eg
Great Yarmouth (01493) has
842xxx = 1000 numbers (000-999)
843xxx = 1000 numbers (000-999)
844xxx = 1000 numbers (000-999)
85xxxx = 10000 numbers (0000-9999)
330xxx = 1000 numbers (000-999)
331xxx = 1000 numbers (000-999)
332xxx = 1000 numbers (000-999)
745xxx = 1000 numbers (000-999)
That gives a number range of 17000 numbers although the
total number of lines can be far higher and a single number on a PBX can
easily have 20-200 lines
The Great Yarmouth code 01493 also covers exhanges outside
Yarmouth with ranges
70,72,73,74,75,36,37,38,39,44.48 and more I cant remember
plue 30xxxx is reseved for the cable companies.
As you can see, it is difficult to give a precise answer
but looking at the numbers on Shopfronts and Taxis etc in your town should
give you an idea of the number ranges in use therefore an indication as to
the size.

And your starter for 10 is .... what is the average number
of subscribers per exchange (and for good measure what's the standard
deviation).

The "Exchange" is the collection of racks that
feed you your telephone service.
Normally there is one exchange per building. (there can be
more than one exchange in a building in large cities)
One exchange can serve many villages, often located
centrally in a group of 3 or 4 villages.
A normal town will have one exchange
Large towns and cities can have several exchanges
There are often 20 or more exhanges to a single STD code.

Stupid question: but what's the definition of an
"exchange" - is it the std code or is there a finer granularity
if so how do you find out what the extent of your exchange is?

"The demand and the target levels will be clearly
visible to all and will
help individuals, communities, local authorities and
service providers to
have a direct impact on broadband roll out."
it sounds to me like they will have an almost Blue Peter

Ian, that's a very ambitious statement given that it is BT
we're talking
about here! ;)
However I notice the lack of any further info or how many
people have
shown an interest etc :/
