1 Introduction
This guide is designed to provide training and enable customers to use the eCo Plus
application via www.btwholesale.com to raise WBC (FTTx) faults.
This document provides you with a step by step guide that takes you through the
processes of fault reporting against WBC (FTTx) using eCo Plus.
This document has been captured around the changes in Release U.
Please note that screen shots have been provided to accompany each step of the
process. To help guide you when a step is referring to a certain screen the title of the
screen will be written in orange. When referring to an icon or button you need to click
this will be written in plum.
eCo Plus
eCo Plus is an online application that enables you to enquire, place orders and faults
as well as track orders and faults for BT Wholesale products within a secure
environment.
WBC End User Access
The connection between the end user and their Aggregation Point (AP)
The following options/variants of the WBC (EUA) product are currently available based
on the technology type and downstream speed:
ADSL 8Mbps
ADSL2+ 8Mbps
ADSL2+ 24Mbps
ADSL 2+ 8Mbps in Transit
ADSL2+ Annex M
FTTC (Fibre To The Cabinet) 40Mbps
FTTP (Fibre To the Premise) 100Mbps (Note:At that time of updating this document
This service is currently under trial and development and not commercially launched)
The WBC EUA ADSL2+ 8Mbps End User Access Transit product is where the service
profile on the MSAN (Multi Service Access Node) will be set to 24Mbps but the BRAS
profile will be set to 8Mbps.This means that the line will be capable of “synching‟ up to
24Mbps on the MSAN but we will restrict the downstream speed of the WBC EUA to
8Mbps on the BRAS.
Issue 1 : 2011© British Telecommunications plc
This guide is for training purposes only and is subject to change by BT
Page 7 of 120
The WBC ADSL2+ 8Mbps EUA Transit product was introduced to enable
Communication Providers (CPs) to have a means to check whether it was likely that an
end user‟s line would be able to consistently achieve higher level speeds before the CP
committed to purchasing the ADSL 2+ (up to 24 Mbit/s) WBC EUA option i.e. the
8MbpsTransit option is a transition product for the 24Mbps product. The following
process applies to such variant:

The CP will order the 8MbpsTransit option for the applicable End User Access.
The End User Access profile will be set at8Mbpsdownstream speed (as stated
above, even though the MSAN can sync up to 24Mbit/s, the speed is capped to
8Mbpson the BRAS).

Post stabilization of the applicable End User Access, the CP will be able to see
the actual speed which can be achieved on that line

If higher speeds can be achieved on the line, the CP can go back to the end user
and sell the end user this opportunity to move to a higher speed WBC EUA
option with accurate speed prediction.
Customers can opt to stay with 8Mbps or upgrade to a higher speed. In the latter case,
the CP will need to raise a modify order to upgrade to the ADSL2+ (up to 24Mbps
product) and the speed/billing of the upgraded EUA will be adjusted accordingly.
Following installation of the WBC EUA service, the line will be allowed to stabilise during
the first 10 days after provision and a Fault Threshold Rate (FTR) will be set at 15
Mbps. A „slow speed fault‟ will be accepted if the line is operating below the FTR.
Annex M (ADSL2)
Annex M technology allows CPs to opt for more upstream bandwidth when placing an
order. This product variant allows WBC ADSL2+ circuits to achieve higher
upstream speeds on the line of up to 2.5 Mbps. There is an added option to select the
Annex M product from the order screens, and customers will need to agree to specific
criterion, for example, loss of downstream speed is approximately 10%-15%.
Please note that Annex M is not compatible with the ADSL2+ 8M transit product or the
“FTRmodifiedCalc‟ option or on lines that return an Access Network Frequency Plan
(ANFP) response of “LONG‟. As a result of this, there have been minor system changes
to eCo Plus.
Annex M details will be displayed during the Line Qualification check on the PreOrder/Availability page if Annex M can be supported on the line specified. Details of
Annex M are noted in the Annex M appendix in the WBC Product handbook.

CPE ( Customer Premise Equipment ) that is proven to work with BT's network is
published within the WBC landing page via the INSPIRE site (see link below).

If you have any additional questions pertaining to Annex M, please contact your
Account manager in the first instance.
WBC FTTC (Fibre To The Cabinet)
BT Wholesale launched WBC FTTC End User Access on January 20th 2011.
WBC FTTC uses the same WBC order process as for WBC ADSL, but offers an
optional End User Access based on VDSL 2 (Very High Digital Subscriber Line)
technology (rather than ADSL 1 and ADSL 2+ on WBC). This optional End User Access
can potentially provide a higher line rate of up to 40Mbps downstream and 2/10/15
Mbps upstream.
The WBC FTTC product is a rate adaptive (RA) product using VDSL2 (Very High Speed
Digital Subscriber Loop) technology which should offer much higher line rates than
ADSL 2+.

Note: For all WBC EUA options, actual line rate is dependent on line length, line
condition, end user wiring and CPE (Customer Premises Equipment).
WBC FTTP (Fibre To The Premises)
Wholesale Broadband Connect (WBC) comprises three main components:
• An End User Access (EUA),
• An Aggregation Point (AP) with a logical Aggregation Point Set (APS).
• An Extension Path (EP).
Each EP will also require access to a Multi Service Interconnect Link (MSIL) which has
to be owned by the same Customer account as the EP and AP.
Please note that the MSIL is a separate product provided under separate terms and
therefore an MSIL must be ordered separately.
 Note line rates are „fixed‟ compared with the Rate Adaptive ADSL/ADSL2+
variants of WBC.
Prerequisites
In order to use eCo plus You will need to ensure the following is in place :

You are registered as a user on www.btwholesale.com, access to eCo Plus;


An Ethernet MSIL (Ethernet Multi-Service Interconnect Link) is a BT Wholesale
product to interconnect BT‟s 21CN with other Communication Providers‟
equivalent network. It supports services such as Access Port Handover (APH),
Next Generation Network Call Conveyance (NGN CC) and Wholesale
Broadband Connects (WBC). In building Handover (IBH), and Customer Sited
Handover (CSH) variants are offered.
For further information please see the ECO PLUS MSIL Training Guide.




AP (Aggregation Point) Set (APS)
AP and EP (Extension Path)
CP signed Terms and Conditions enabling you to place orders on eCo Plus
A valid site which will be required to pass the broadband availability check to
order a WBC ADSL/ADSL2+ or WBC FTTC or WBC FTTP EUA (. A valid 21CN
billing account
Please Note: If you purchase a WBC End User Access from another CP, please check
the relevant Product Guide for details on EMSIL, AP SET and AP and EPs as may be
applicable.
If you do not have a valid 21CN billing account, you will need to contact your Service/
Account manager who will engage with the Billing team in BT Wholesale to set one up
for you. Please note that it is not possible to set up a billing account during the user
journey of ordering a WBC EUA .
In addition to all of the above being in place (otherwise any order for a WBC
ADSL/ADSL2+ and or FTTC or FTTP EUA will drop out), in order for the CP to be able
to place an order for a WBC EUA , and for that order to be provisioned, the prospective
end user must have or be in the process of having provisioned a BT provided telephony
line.
If a technical warning message appears, please follow the instructions in the message
usually displayed in red.
If a red flag is displayed under “Details Complete‟ (via the configuration page which sets
out the requirements option(s) that can be selected such as bandwidth and
maintenance care levels etc) click on “configure‟; or using the “thread bar‟ and moving
back to the previous screen check that the site details service point etc have been fully
completed.
Remember your draft orders will be stored on Eco Plus for up to 20 minutes if you are
timed out of www.btwholesale.com

14 Ordering Access
Step 1. Register and be aligned to a BT Line of Business (BT Wholesale)
You must contact Wholesale Client Reception Team either by phone (0800 671045)
or email clientreception@bt.com. The Reception team checks that you are a bona fide
entity (credit checks etc) and assigns an Account Manager.
You must have a Legal Entity. BT creates a Customer Account. Before Products can
be ordered, a Billing Account needs to be created, containing information on Contacts,
Billing Address etc. This will be done by BT Wholesale Billing on receipt of the
necessary information (this will normally come via the Account Manager)
This stage of the process could take a week, but depends on the size and complexity
of the relationship.
Step 2. Register on BT Wholesale
www.btwholesale.com is the portal to access eCo Plus, and Users must log in via it
first.
Register by going to www.btwholesale.com clicking on the Register link, and going
through the online registration process which is intuitive.
An email will be sent to confirm successful Registration. Help can be obtained via
links off the website. This stage of the process is more or less immediate.
If you are already a BT customer or have just completed steps 1 and 2 you can now
complete step 3.
Step 3. eCo Plus Registration
To be able to Order 21CN Products online, Customers must Register for eCo Plus.
There is a link off www.btwholesale.com to do this, however first Customers must
nominate Gold Users(s) who will be given certain admin rights and will vet additional
Users within the Customer‟s Organisation.



The Gold User(s) names / contact details should be provided to BT via the BT
Product Manager / Account Manager
Gold Users can, when advised, apply for eCo Plus access by following the
Instructions shown below



Additional Users should follow the same process below, however Gold Users
will be given admin rights to authorise Additional Users to see that Customer
Account
Additional Users will now be able to log in to eCo Plus
Step 4. My Admin
MyAdmin gives you the ability to manage access requests; delete users and deal with
password re set for key BTW systems. This gives you control of who can access your
information and is managed by nominated administrators within your own
organisation.
The benefits of this are greater control over access, improved security and time saved
waiting for BTW to deal and access is 24x7.
Things to consider...





You will not be able to get set up for eCo Plus without My Admin
Costs due to time wasted waiting for BTW to deal with password re-sets etc ..
Increased security issues with staff leaving and still having access to your
information.
