ADSL is available in your area
Your exchange is also enabled for ADSL Max services
According to BT Wholesale, your phone line should be able to support a 6Mbps or greater ADSL connection via ADSL Max.
Standard ADSL RAG results
You can receive 2Mbps ADSL
You can receive 1Mbps ADSL
You can receive 512kbps ADSL
You can receive 256kbps ADSL
You are approximately 460 metres from the exchange. Note that this is the straight line distance - the actual cable length will be longer!
However, there is another service on your phone line (e.g. ADSL, LLU, DACS, etc) that would prevent you from ordering a new ADSL connection.
Does this help with my options?0 -
Anyone got any advice based on the above?
What does this mean
BT Wholesale ADSL
BT Wholesale ADSL Max
????
Does it mean I can't get the cheap deals?
Is AOL at £9.99 my best bet?0
