English Mails

the client isn't connected at the moment, but ATM OAM cells are OK. Could you try to reboot the equipment and have some tests done with another router or a
 windows PC directly connected to the router.

We had some feedback from our Telco operator, there is no problem with the line. It looks like there is no trafic on the line, not even authentication 
requests... the only trafic we, and our telco operator, can see is ATM OAM cells...Can you make some tests with a XP machine directly connected to the modem
?

We are progressing... but it's not easy to find the origin of the problem on this line... The complete configuration has been check on our side, the 
complete ATM path has been reconstructed by France Telecom
. We have told them that the modem has been changed twice... but now, they want us to do some loop tests with them on your DSLAM...
Is it ok if we do these test today ? The line will be disconnected  while we are doing them.

technician available just yet to plug it in.
We've arranged to call back this afternoon to make sure the hooking up goes okay. We have raised a ticket on this line (disconnection every 15 seconds). 
hese kind of problems often occurs on a new setup. We'll keep you informed as soon as we have more informations.

Hello again,

We and our telco have checked the line and everything seems to be configured properly. In this case, the best thing to do is to remove the router and plug 
an XP machine directly (so we are sure that the problem is not coming from the router). It was not possible for M. Dolay to do this test this afternoon, so,
it'll be done tomorrow at 9:00am. We will keep you informed as soon as we get more informations.

Cheers

hello Xavier,

Nabila has done the tests with the customer (who was brilliant :)). It took them 10 minutes. The diagnostic is that the line is not properly working 
(synchro is OK, but connectivity to the DSLAM is down).
In fact, a ticket with our telco is opened since yesterday and we have asked for some feedback today at 3:00pm. Infortunatly, there's no SLA on the line...
We will keep you informed as soon as we have more informations.

Cheers

We are still waiting for some feedback from France Telecom. They are supposed to do some in depth testing on both lines (local loop). We will keep you 
informed as soon as we get more informations.

So... We have talked with LDcom this morning and they've told us the customer has moved (not Bretigny sur Orge anymore but another city...). The France 
Telecom tech guy was not really happy...
We've have called M. Vermeil who has confirmed that... He also doesn't know the line number of the new location and same thing for us...
It is very important that you provide us the correct information when you raise tickets (line number, location and contact) which was not the case for this 
one (I have been told that the line number

------------------

It appears that when the ADSL initially went down there was some confusion regarding the account and where it was billed. As Claranet UK were unable to see
any billing for the ADSL account, we were unable to support the initial ADSL issue.

After some further investigation it appeared that the ADSL was billed through Claranet Germany.  This was not the cause of the original ADSL downtime.
After the confusion regarding the ADSL billing had been rectified, the ADSL account had to be cancelled at Claranet UK so that there would be
no confusion in the future.

For our cancellation process, we have a dedicated team to cancel specific orders and products.  It appears that when the account side of the ADSL has been 
cancelled, the physical ADSL was unexpectedly cancelled in error.
This was rectified as soon as possible and the ADSL was activated as soon as possible.  This was the cause of the last ADSL downtime. We can only apologise 
for the unexpected ADSL loss and any inconvenience it may have caused to the company.
If you need further assistance on this matter or any other support, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind Regards,
