"upgrade to 21cn should be possible if your exchange has been upgraded. However BT do not appear to rollout the upgrade to everyone on the exchange at the same time - appears to be phased."
Yes, in the message I received about my exchange upgrading (I was totally in shock anyway that it was happening due to rural, low subscriber, location!) it advised that those nearest the exchange would be changed over first.
There was also a warning that due to my distance from the exchange being marginal for any improvement, there could be some instability and the option to revert back to ADSL+.
However, my connection has been fine and the speeds have increased just a little, about 0.5Mb/s. (3.5 to 4 down, 0.7 to 0.8 up)Yipee, high speed broadband at last!0 -
Yes im very happy too! although my BB is considerably faster than yours....
I remember thing that 512k was fast when i had virgin and changed from dial up!0 -

Any increases/improvements in speed, however small, are welcome. But my last comment was meant to be a bit tongue in cheek.:)
Fibre to cabinet - sometime after Hell has frozen over would be a guess for my exchange.:(
I was really surprised to see there are now two LLU options there though.0 -
Apparently our exchange is now in the roll out (next year) for infinity!!!0
