    Hi all,

    I got an interview this Friday for ADSL Broadband Technical Support role, Its a 1 hour interview with is fine but I also have to do a 30 minute test. I was hoping someone can give me some pointers on what sort of things they will expect me to know, its a written 30 minute test.

    So far I have covered:

    TCP/IP - Application Layer
    - Transport Layer
    - Network Layer
    - Data Link Layer

    DNS
    Mail Platforms e.g POP3, IMAP, SMTP
    NNTP
    FTP
    ISDN vs Analog
    public vs private IP addresses

    Thanks.

    All I can say is you better be able to take alot of flaCk!

    You say the same things over and over again and take alot of cr*p from customers. Thats me speaking from the customer POV.

    Have you changed your filter? Have you connected to the master socket bla bla.

    Hey,

    I'm working for an ISP doing Broadband Tech supp and while it helps to have the knowledge its not a must. I say this as most of the calls will be quite simple with people unable to plug things up.

    I will add, that in Poland most of my 8 months in ADSL as field technician was walking with high-level multimeter and measurements of parameters in cable cabinets.. then changing pairs from bad to good, lots of wrong usernames or passwords and lots of trojans on client's computer - why they never listen us saying - "get the firewall and antivirus, there's lots of free for home use"...??

    Learning of those high-end multimeters with reflectometers, and ADSL2+ measure features was quite easy - few parameters to remember, couple buttons, and knowledge which one or two from dozens of readouts are important.
