Who understands about LLU re landline?

Mean_Consumer

Is there anywhere that explains about the different kind of landlines [bundled/unbundles etc.] so that I understand it without giving myself a headache? How does BT 'share' their lines with other providers? Diagrams may be necessary.


I am endeavouring to escape from TalkTalk and find a landline provider which is economic but still provides that extinct [?] ethos called customer satisfaction.


Thank you.

Suggest look up your exchange on samknows.com . Then research the CS of those that are available to you .Its all coming down the BT wires from the exchange .

That's excellent. I knew most of it already having picked it up from various sources over the years, but never realised it was neatly summarized anywhere.

Yes, I am thick. I have looked at Sam Knows before and my exchange WMEK is listed as non LLU yet I have TalkTalk landline and Timico broadband which according to Sam Knows are not present. So Timico are providing me with Broadband through BT Wholesale??
What difference does it make?

If your exchange has no LLU services, then TT are supplying you via BTW-and you are almost certainly paying a big surcharge. TT without LLU is pointless-the only point of using them is for cheapness.
What is the actual name of your exchange-I can find no ref for one abbreviated to 'WMEK'?
