Cheers

Hamish from telecom has been calling me regularly, nice to know that we havn't been forgotten and to be kept informed. Anyway, he called and advised that alcatel couldn't find any obvious issues and had sent it on to a special team for investigation and gave a date of about 28th april for a result? Well at least things are moving forward and they havn't come back telling me I'm measuring the wrong thing:-)

1173059 2011-04-09 22:38:00 no real update this week telecom usage figures still running about 33% more than mine.. roll on the 18th SuperTed (16195)
1173060 2011-04-18 07:35:00 Well its the 18th... News is that Alcatel have come back saying they can't see any faults.. However Hamish at telecom is following it up especially as someone else has presented the same fault with their own data... I'll keep on keeping on and see where we get to now.

1173062 2011-04-18 23:56:00 This would be a great group project for F1'ers

If enough of us started monitoring this ,and proved their Telecoms Meter errors, Telecom could be forced into handing out some refunds. And a huge Commerce Commission fine.

I'm sure this is something that they will never be allowed to admit fault for this very reason.
Im dubious about their 'meter' as well, just its allmost impossible for single users to fight them.

1173063 2011-04-19 00:39:00 I'm no longer with them but I have a friend who is, he's tech-savvy, I'll see about putting Gargoyle or Tomato on his primary wireless router and having him do some kind of half-bridge solution.

SuperTed, did you mention you were doing some of this monitoring via snmp or something?
