I'm sure that you can google e.g. here

Yup, but sometimes its just easier to ask

looks like some good advice offered (and some bad), seriously consider idnet, newnet and the entanet resellers (adsl24 vivaciti etc) with their 1 month contracts and good CS, you can't go wrong!

I am paying £14.99 for 'up to 2.0 Mbps' I think it's called 'Silver'

youre being ripped off mate.
i was paying 9.99 for the silver service with AOL. when i complained about the speeds/service they offered me the same for 6.99
told them it was the service i was complaining about not the fe ck ing price.
thats when i moved to O2.

Just because you change ISP doesn't change anything as its still going through the same exchange and if that exchange is OLD then again nothing can be done.


So YOU are talking rubbish.....

See exactly what happened to another user when they switched from AOL here

:rolleyes:

Can you explain that a little more please D2? It sounds to me as for example id need an o2 contract? Whats the download limits etc?

theres no download limit on my O2 broadband package.
(they do have an acceptable usage policy. like most ISP).

Your line attenuation figure seems to agree with your 1MB speed for a fixed rate ADSL however your figures could provide a significantly higher speed than this on ADSL max or ADSL2 see here

I have contacted a couple of ISP's and asked them to confirm if they would be able to supply me with 3Mpbs via ASDL Max.

All of them seem to put 1Mpbs as my limit. I have even copied the relevant links from this thread to them.

Why can't any of them offer me 3Mpbs

As I understand it. MAX is the type of cable that runs to your house (Just a fancy name for it). If you dont have it, you wont be able to get them speeds.

Thanks for the info. So even though my exchange is enabled my line might not be? Who do I confirm this.... Openreach?

This is what it says on Samknows about my exchange 'ADSL Max status:Enabled as of 31/03/2006'
