Asterisk with Gradwell numbers and ADSL2?

| All,
Anybody got any experience of the reliability or otherwise of ADSL2 LLU
(specifically a Be Pro connection guesstimated at around 14Mbit) for
running Gradwell numbers to an Asterisk server?
We've been having success over an NTL/VM cable, but are about to move
offices - and the question is ADSLMax or ADSL2.
Ta!

Well, we use Asterisk with numbers from Gradwell on an ADSLMax line and
it is very very stable.
I've also been thinking about Be because they have recently gone live in
our local exchange.
I wouldn't use it as my primary line for voip - just use for faster web
access for staff.
What I really object to with Be though, is that it would appear that you
still have to have a BT voiceline for their LLU offering. I really
don't want to pay BT for any line rental.
Before I used a Be line for VoIP, I'd put a router on the line and run
smokeping against it for a few weeks to check for any likely problems.

So who would you propose to pay your line rental for you? The Line Rental
Fairy, perhaps?

I'd expect 1 bill from Be. For line rental and ADSL.
I don't want a BT voice circuit. I don't mind paying Be for line rental
to cover it.

Have to admit, that one surprised me, too - bit of a hidden extra.
Hiho. We're decided, anyway. ADSL2 from Cerberus Networks.
WTF, let's live dangerously...

When you have it installed, if you want to let me know the router IP
(privately) I can add it to my Smokeping to see how the line performs in
terms of packet loss and latency variation.

Cheers. eMail is valid, I presume?

Hi,
Presumably that is business NTL cable service?
Thanks in advance.
Best wishes,

Be could do this if they wanted, though you wouldn't save much if
anything - they could use Wholesale line rental and leave you with BT
dial tone or go for full unbundling of the lines and have you
exclusively connect to them.

I don't care if it doesn't save anything. I just don't want a BT bill.

This is the smokeping on our office line:
http://sienna.gradwell.net/smokepin...e.BeThereNewark
We have quite a few customers using it. It works very well and we're
impressed with the line rate + latency.
Here is our 2 meg newnet SDSL connection:
