Abstract
A method for analysing the status of a subscriber loop belonging to an access network portion of a fixed network infrastructure, the subscriber loop not supporting a broadband service wherein the access network portion includes further subscriber loops, a set of which support broadband services. The method includes the steps of collecting attenuation measures associated with said set of subscriber loops supporting said broadband services; and processing said attenuation measures to obtain an estimation of a maximum bit rate that can be offered on the subscriber loop to be analysed.

A method for analysing status of a subscriber loop belonging to an access network portion of a fixed network infrastructure, said subscriber loop not supporting a broadband service, said access network portion comprising further subscriber loops, a set of which support broadband services, comprising the steps of:
- collecting attenuation measures associated with said set of subscriber loops supporting said broadband services;
- and
- processing said attenuation measures to obtain an estimation of a maximum bit rate that can be offered on said subscriber loop to be analysed.
A system for analysing status of a subscriber loop belonging to an access network portion of a fixed network infrastructure, said subscriber loop not supporting a broadband service, said access network portion comprising further subscriber loops, a set of which support broadband services, comprises:
- a module capable of being configured for collecting attenuation measures associated with said set of subscriber loops supporting said broadband services;
- and
- a module capable of being configured for processing said attenuation measures to obtain an estimation of a maximum bit rate that can be offered on said subscriber loop to be analysed.
