Progress to date:
Telecom Wholesale consultation programme - Ethernet 6 September 2007
ADSL2+ roll-out progress (continued)
� Average 2,000 migrations/day
� Migration outages reduced from 10 to 1-2 minutes
� Progressive cabinet replacement within the five cities is still in plan
� Working roll-out schedule available by email or website. It includes;
� List of exchanges
� End user migration from ASAM to ISAM

� Exchange fully migrated to ADSL2+
Telecom Wholesale consultation programme - Ethernet 6 September 2007
Roll-out risks
� Late delivery of equipment (24-days from agreed date)
� Performance & scheduled outages - scheduled outages require at least
two days of downtime
� Migration cancellation due to network outages
� Adverse weather conditions
� Resource constraints due to staff health & safety

Modem issue: current status
� Original tests showed speed limits with
modem/firmware with interleaving on
� All ADSL1 and early version ADSL2+ modems
may be affected
� Widespread end-user impact due to high
penetration of D-link modems
� Following successful testing, future D-Link
modems will have new firmware
� Other modem issues may be resolved by:
� Modem or firmware upgrade
� Switch interleaving off
Tested and found to belimiting to 7.547M

Modem issue: the path forward
� Using the ADSL2+ exchange line data and the network analyser tool
we can:
� Identify end-users speed limited by modem issues
� Predict possible obtainable speeds if issues are resolved (based on known
line factors)
� This information can be provided following ADSL2+ migration
� May help identify end-users likely to experience increased speeds with
upgraded modem/firmware or interleaving off

Telecom Wholesale consultation programme - Ethernet 6 September 2007
Next steps: End-user broadband performance
� Objective: Identify key factors impacting end-user broadband
performance
� Analysis of 300 broadband households of Memorial Ave and Mt
Pleasant
� Testing on splitter, copper, installation, DSLAM cable, modem
settings, etc
� Cabling or similar issues will be rectified as discovered
� October – December 2007
� Report on the impact and importance of each component tested will
be available
Telecom Wholesale consultation programme - Ethernet 6 September 2007
Proposed: CPE testing facility
� Purpose: to allow on-demand performance testing of new CPE
proposed to be connected to the Telecom network
� Will operate outside Telepermit process – rather than test for
compliance, it will allow scenario based tests and deliver performance
data
� We are looking for customer feedback on this proposal
� Investigation stage
Telecom Wholesale consultation programme - Ethernet 6 September 2007
New service: Basic UBA
� Basic UBA – best efforts broadband that will progressively replace UBS
� Variants may include:
� UBS-like or L2TP as per Commerce Commissions STD – confirmed delivery
in September 2007
� Layer 2 Ethernet / ISAM – proposed delivery by July 2008
� ASAM only ATM version – under discussion for early 2009
� Multiple architectures will give you delivery options while end-user
experience across the tail will be the same
Telecom Wholesale consultation programme - Ethernet 6 September 2007
New service: Enhanced UBA
� First next generation broadband offerings
� Built over ADSL2+/ISAM/Ethernet footprint only
� Intended release July 2008
� Service specification is part of on-going STD
� Delivers real time traffic via best efforts broadband connection
� Initially with 40Kbps and 90Kbps options
� ADSL2+ roll out with give 80% coverage in Zone 1, increasing to 100%
with cabinet replacement
Telecom Wholesale consultation programme - Ethernet 6 September 2007
Designing: Multi-class tail design
� Next generation broadband designed as multi-class tail
� Enhanced UBA is only the first variant. Others may include higher
real-time bandwidth, real-time only and interactive

Investigating: Increased local aggregate bandwidth for E-UBA
� Looking at increasing LAP bandwidth for Enhanced UBA
� ADSL2+ improves the speed between end-user and DLAM, and we want
to open discussion on increasing capacity from DSLAM to Ethernet
switch

Pros:
� Potential area of
congestion removed
� Improved end-user
experience in some cases
Cons:
� Increased number of GigE
handovers required
� Increased international
bandwidth demands
