    There was an interesting programme on the radio the other day discussing how lack of broadband or very slow speeds have made some properties virtually worthless/unsaleable to most buyers.

    It is now recommended as an essential check to make before buying/renting.

    The phone line and basic connection are the same wholesale price regardless of speed.

    You need to check what your neighbours are getting and if you are down on that then investigate your internal phone wiring. If you live in a recognised slow area then hope it will be getting upgraded.

    Putting your phone number into the BT checker will give an estimate of what it should be http://www.dslchecker.bt.com/
