BT Infinity - local Roll Out dates being rolled ba...

For most of 2011, our exchange (01684) was scheduled to be upgraded to Infinity by 31 Dec 2011, according to the checker on BT's own website. On 21 December 2011 I noted that that date had changed to 31 March 2012, even though today the BT page "See when it's available in your area" still states that the deadline is 31 Dec 2011, so clearly no one at BT is bothering to update that.
Planning requests to alter some green cabinets have been posted in the local paper, but there is no sign of any work taking place.
Posting a complaint to BT produced a reply which in effect says that the deadlines are flexible and dependent on when Openreach feel like getting round to the work, if at all. And even then, judging by numerous Forum posts, one's nearest cabinet might not be upgraded at all.
So it's all promises, promises. Is Infinity just a mirage outside metropolitan areas?

I had the same issue a week ago however it just decided that I can now have the Infinity instead of waiting till 31st March.
Not a great fan of all these different dates, id rather they just kept there promises and gave me infinity a month ago.
The dates aren't promises, they're estimations. The dates are set to the end of the current quarter but activation could happen at any time before that date (and of course after). Once a cabinet is almost ready to go live, usually about 10 days before you can place orders, the date on the checker will change.
As I'm sure you've read on the many posts on the forum there's many many reasons for delays, often outside of BT's control.

Ever-Changing BT Infinity Roll-Out Dates

Living in Central Reading, we were pleased to see that BT Infinity was planned to be rolled-out to our area on 31st December 2010. That was before Christmas and then the date changed to 31st March 2011.
I emailed BT and a helpful chap explained that the bad weather meant that repairs to damaged lines had taken priority over the roll-out of new services (fair enough) and that is why Central Reading would not be upgraded until 31st March 2011.
I now see that the date has moved yet again to 30th June 2011. I wrote another email to BT and received a rather poorly written (grammar and spelling dreadful!) reply, advising that BT Infinity was not available in my area and that my interest had been registered - Absolutely no help at all and clearly my query had not been addressed.
I appreciate that many people are eagerly anticipating BT Infinity and are still further away from getting it according to the roll-out plan today but it is not unreasonable to expect a reply to a simple query and I have no faith in the 30th June 2011 date now... I am fully expecting it to change in May and move back a further 3 months.
I can't be bothered to try and get another reasonable explanation from BT and have resigned myself to the fact that 40MB downloads here are unlikely....
Disappointed!

BT Infinity Roll Out Dates - Keep Slipping - Why O...

I have been waiting for the roll out for 4 months now. When I checked the availability in May the telephone number checking program said it would be available on June 30th. Then a few days before this date it slipped to September 30th. Now a few days ago it went back to 31st December. Why does this keep on happening ?

i have the same problem - even brought a super-duper-new win7 4core computer a month ago as my old xp 2xcore one may be too slow to cope with infinity.
it is either the demand they have for those who have infinity, or they are sending too many engineers sorting out the problems with the current system, and would not cope with the demand. on reading the other forums on here, i would say the latter is more apt, even if moving people to infinity may cure theother problems.
welcome to the world of last wednesday week.
there's now't wrong with 2 cans and a piece of string. at certain times, it is often faster.

Roll out project

Dear Friends,
As a MM consultant what are the points to be consider during roll out project pls explain in points wise points must be rewarded.
Regards
Amin

Dear friend,
i will give the essance, upto my knowledge..if anything wrong please correct.
Roll -out Project:
Extending the business functionality from corporate to its branch office.Example: You have main office in German and they implemented SAP.Also they have branch in India and want to implement in India.When implementing SAP in India office( having same company in corporate level and assigning a company code for India to the same company), you can say it's a roll out project.
Roll out example
IF client is on SAP and runing SAP
now he purchases new p-lant or set up new plant
then going on to sap for this new plant is roll out
IF client is on ECC5 and he want to go to laterast ecc6 or 7
then this project for ecc5 to ecc 6 is call upgrade
or conversion for non unicode to unicode client its also cale upgrade project
So roll out project means you have to copy what are all the things in the old plant configuration, that things you have to copy that in new plant code..
1.Company code is already maintained
2.give plant code
3.give storage location (how many storage location in new plant)
4.purchase organization for this new plant
5.Purchase group
6.if any ware house module is there you have to give the bin, rack and related shipping point and delivery point,sales org, sales channel.picking and packing.
7.pr number ranges, document type and output type
8.po number ranges and document type and output type for taking printout.
9 gr document number ranges and out put type and document type(mb90)
10. invoice screen config and output type.(mr90)
11.pricing procedure
12.plant settings both inventory and mrp related settings..(u have to ask this information from your client)
13.material master settings
14.vendr number ranges and related settings in account group
15.rfq and qutotation related settings..
16.if you have contract arrangement.then you have to give number ranges and document type and output type for taking printout
17.if consignment is there..same number ranges,document type and output type
18..if STO is there..u have to give related document type and output type and number ranges
19.
\if cin is ther,,,u have to define chapter id, delivery challan,TC,registers RG23A,RG23C,RG23D, and other 57fc and 5fAC sub-contracting challan.
You have to confirm information related to account determination and account postings
If production planning module is there, u have to confirm,.mrp and procurement informationbecause requirement is generated from mrp.

Infinity roll-out kills Standard Broadband Service

BT have rolled out Infinity to my area and since the roll-out my Standard Broadband Service has deteriorated to an extent that BT have confirmed they can longer guarantee me that service (despite the fact they are still willing to charge me for it)! Anyone else been impacted in this way? I've been told my only option to obtain Broadband is to pay for the more expensive Infinity.

Its not an issue in all areas, but the longer the distance from the cab, the more noticeable it is. Generally, if people are getting very low speeds due to distance, it does make sense for them to upgrade to Infinity, if its available.
I believe that the Infinity pricing is fairly competitive anyway.
Infinity has not really interested me because I get between 9-11Mb on my line, and I use broadband talk quite a lot.
My local connection is not perfect, and one of the two pairs into my house are faulty anyway, and the current pair does have a HR somewhere, which can show itself if the landline is not used for a week (no DC wetting, if you know what that means)
That can result in an occasional disconnection on an incoming PSTN call, but not enough to worry about.
To fb3
What connection speed do you get at the moment?
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

BT Infinity roll out plans under BD UK banner

Hi,
Looking for a bit of advice or thoughts from the forum for the following question, excuse the rambling nature of the question.
BT have won the contract to deliver faster broadband in rural Gloucestershire and Herefordshire which now goes under the title of Fastershire.    The web site created states that its not possible to state when exchanges will be enabled for a variety of reasons so as consumers we simply have to wait to be told when.
However I assume as part of being awarded the contract and being able to state that 90% of properties would be completed by 2016 that a plan must exist with an approximate order in which exchanges will be enabled as part of the contracting process.
Do you think it ought to be possible or fair to request, in this case to know where my exchange. Tirley, would be in the planned schedule for example first 10% , last 10% in the middle.
I have poor broadband speed due to the distance from the exchange and cannot easily work from home and if we are at the back of the queue I would look to make alternative provision moving away from BT (wireless options exsit but need a 2 year commitment and multiple subscribers in the locality) until the rollout reaches the area.
Appreciate any thoughts
Simon

Hi simon5705,
Openreach have been awarded the contact to install, rollout and manage the fibre infrastructure to Herefordshire and Gloucestershire between 2013 and the end of 2016.
The scheme has been set-up by Herefordshire Council and Gloucestershire County Council in partnership with BTplc (Openreach) to extend the rollout on-top of the "Superfast-Openreach" Commercial fibre broadband rollout.
As it is being rolled out, done and managed by Openreach as well being managed by Herefordshire Council and Gloucestershire County Council, BT Retail (a communication provider/ISP whom operates this forum) does not have much say as to when and if you will be able to get fibre broadband (FTTC or FTTP or equivalent) as that is up-to Openreach, Herefordshire Council and Gloucestershire County Council.
Looking at the fastershire FAQs here ( http://www.fastershire.com/questions-and-answers ) it states
" Fibre broadband is being rolled out across both Herefordshire and Gloucestershire between 2013 and the end of 2016. From summer 2013 you will be able to check maps on this website to see which phase of delivery your area is in, and you will also be able to put your postcode into our postcode checker to see if you can get it yet. This will also tell you which telephone exchange area you fall within. "
Also as it's a local council scheme you will need to contact them for information.
The contact email is [email protected] though they may not have finalised the plans yet.
Hope that helps,
Cheers

Enquiry about the March 31st Infinity roll-out.

After getting suitably frustrated at my slow connection earlier today when trying to download a game, I figured I'd check to see if Infinity is rolling out in my area soon..... even just looking for a date to look forward to. I see that Maldon is included in the March 31st rollout however...... I'm unsure whether this includes Heybridge. Heybridge and Maldon technically are the same area, it's complicated, I don't even fully understand it myself. I ask simply because things never go well when you assume, I'd rather ask this question and get a straight "no" then potentially get excited at the possibilty of something that's not going to happen.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cost-Roll take follow-up material upon discontinuation effective-out date ?

Dear Expert,
If we use discontinuation/follow-up material, during Cost-Roll (CK11N), SAP will take default cost from discontinued material even if follow-up material is effective.
How to make SAP take cost of follow-up material after/on effective-out date ?
Example :
Parent "A" contains component "B" qty 3, to be follow-up with component "C" upon discontinuation of "B" on effective-out dated 1st Nov'07, and like-wise to take std cost of "B' before 1st Nov'07 cost-roll.
Thus, when I roll cost in December, I hope SAP would calculate for std cost of A to include std cost of "C" (for cost-roll after 1st Nov'07).
Setting :
Material Master of "B" MRP4 view :
- Discontinuation Indicator = 1
- Effective-out date = 1st Nov'07
- Follow-up Material = "C"
BOM of Parent "A" :
- Component "B" indicate discontinuation group "A1"
- Add component "C" and indicate follow-up group "A1".
Thanks for your guidance !

Hello,
We are having the same issue: is a BOM for costing the only way to handle this ? Controlling dept. here fear they wouldn't be maintained as accurately as the production ones (and they are right). We were also thinking to set the phased out materials (B in your example) as cost irrelevant when you add to new material in the BOM...and start costing the father (A in your example) directly with the new component. I would appreciate a lot to hear other examples of dealing with this issue if anybody has.
Thanks a lot,
Olivier

Repository for legal, local requirements (at a global roll out project)?

Hi,
we are currently working on a global roll out into several Eastern European countries. We have got a question concerning the localization of the SAP Systems. Are you aware of any repository for the legal, local requirements of SAP systems on a country basis?
Examples:
What needs to be considered designing an invoice for Poland
Is there any specific VAT reporting required for Poland
Thanks!
Kind regards
Inga

Dear NSK,
Did you find a solution to your problem?
We are facing exactly the same situation with roll-out on multiple countries on a single client single instance environment. We are still trying to create our Global Template in such a way that we can later on use it with all the aforementioned localizations needed for our subsidiaries.
Can you provide any information on how you dealt with this issue?
Thanks and regards,
Heraklis

PA data migration Strategy for global roll-out

Hi Guys,
What is the best practise to load PA data into SAP HCM for a global roll-out? We plan to go-live with 50 odd countries. For country specific infotypes like address, It does not make sense to create country-specific LSMW's for each of the country. We may end up having 100s of LSMWs which does not seem right to me. nearly 20 of these countries have less than 100 employees each. Any ideas what the best practises around this are?
regards
Sam

Create batch input sessions with LSMW as usual.
Wite a report that reads the batch input session (tables APQI, APQD), gets the country specific dynpro for every PERNR (tables T582A, T588M, feature Pxxxx, ...) and change the dynpro in the APQD. Use debugger to find offset and length of field values in the record.
Than you can process the batch input.
I did it that way many times.
Alternativly you could update the PA tables directly - but difficult to detect errors.

Belle Refresh Roll Out...

I know the Belle firmware update/refresh is being rolled out gradually, but does anyone know when the rollout is due to be completed?
I would expect by now that all Belle phones should have received the update but I haven't received anything yet.
I have also read about some new homescreen widgets for Belle users who have not yet received the Belle Firmware update, again I haven't received these.
Can anyone from Nokia (or elsewhere) tellme when I might receive one or both of thses updates please?
My phone is an N8 on the 02 network in the UK
Software version: 111.030.0609
Version Date: 2011-11-26
Custom Version: 111.030.0609.210.11
Custom Version Date: 2011-01-16

Hi Arkwright,
Sounds like if there will be a firmware update is being released for your product code, then it may be delayed as it hasn't been approved / worked on / tested by your network operator, O2. Your first point of call would be to contact O2 and ask if the Belle Refresh update will be made available for your N8. Failing that, it is best to contact your local Nokia Care point to ask about the availability of the update for your device.

Rolling out ADE to Open Access Computers in libraries

(In the UK). In Plymouth we are using Secure Electronic Delivery as the default to deliver access to documents provided by the British Library. Internet Explorer 7 (and this is also known with Firefox and other browsers) causes an ebook reader detection error as part of the downloading process "Downloading this eBook requires Adobe Acrobat eBook Reader version 2.2 or later to be installed on your computer" (even though all our computers are on Reader 7.0.9). The page then provides a link to download the latest version. The problem is that, despite being told to ignore the link and scroll to the 'download your ebooks' link further down the screen, many users are clicking the update link and ending up with Adobe Reader 8 without ADE, or a misfunctioning ADE because they do not have administrator rights, or a screen which hangs and does nothing, or an ADE that will not allow them to print. In open access areas all computers are locked to a standard 'frozen' image which is restored after each log-out. Users, therefore, are unable to save any changes which means that they also have to repeat the steps every time they want to download an SED everytime they log-in. (Yes, because of 'easy activation', we also have to make it clear to these users that it is 'download and then print' or there is no further access to the document, despite a 14day access rule; and no-use of memory sticks too!). We would love to be able to maintain our ability to standardise these computers on the latest version of the Reader software, but are unable to do so because we do not have the manpower to manually install ADE on each computer (over 2,500!) to make it part of the 'locked' image. We know the eBook Reader detection error is most probably caused by the underlying software technology difference between IE7 and Adobe 7 and would hope that installing Adobe Reader 8 and ADE would restore the seamless process that we had long established using the Reader 7 series!
Could not Adobe please consider a means by which, say ADE 1.5, could be packaged and rolled-out centrally? Then also consider doing the same for future releases - it would really make life easier for everyone. If not we will have to remain on Reader 7.0.9 and users will 'suffer' as the technology becomes more and more obsolete, and suffers from more and more problems caused by a widening gap in software technologies. We understand the idea behind the decision to make ADE an IRA (internet rich application) but the growing use of DRM and the need to delivery these documents within closed environments, to people who cannot be given full access permissions, means that there should also be a concurrent method to allow updating in such situations. Our 'problem' rate for SED is beginning to climb (from under 3% (based on 16,000 transactions) before the release of Adobe 8, to 6% afterwards (based on 7,000 transactions). Before the release of 8, 70% of the problems were because people didn't read instructions we provided; after 8's release, 70% of the problems are caused by the technologies (eBook detection; downloading Reader 8 and not ADE; ADE not functioning due to local permissions etc etc). These seriously affect the value of the service and also the perception people have of the service and of Adobe products (eg: the IE7 error states "Adobe eBook Reader not detected" so, even though your product may not be to blame for the users' inability to get to their document, they blame Adobe Reader, especially if they know they have Reader 7 installed!
My apologies for a long post but I consider it an important issue as well as it being important to lay out some of the logic and arguement as to why.
Graham

Thank you very much for taking the time to write this long and accurate post. We are very much aware of this issue and are working as hard as we can to resolve this. It might not be possible to squeeze it into 1.5, but we will get to it as soon as we possibly can.
Can you submit a support incident at www.adobe.com/support/digitaleditions/ so we can try and resolve the immediate problem (incorrect detection and misleading message)? We can also discuss offline how your organization and our can work together to resolve the larger problem. Thanks.
