Our initial test on your phone line indicates that you should be able to have BT Broadband with a likely maximum speed of up to 5Mb (Megabits per second).
We don't have a phone line so mine comes through a cable from a big green box at end of our street.It is then buried under our front garden and in through a hole in the wall :laugh:I might sound really nooby but is there cable internet?
Yes there is Cable, however whilst BT (Our monopolistic telco) have vowed for 99.9% ADSL coverage, cable just hasn't took off at all. Coverage is extremely limited, and only a very small percentage of the UK are able to get it.I might sound really nooby but is there cable internet?
Ouch, I thought most ISP's had automagically upgraded to 8mb when BT enabled the exchanges.well im on 1mb at the moment, so id be happy with 16. lol.
Well thanks to the UK being littered with telephone exchanges, DSL is available pretty much everywhere, except extreme outward locations, even then, wifi is being implimented to get more broadband coverage.At least from what you guys are saying, it sounds like you have options.
Where I'm at, Comcast or nothing. Normally not bad, but they are a bit expensive ($44.95 with a cable package, $49.95 without), and would be nice to have alternatives.
DSL is so darn hard to get because of distance limits from CO's.
Kc,
Why you only pay 44.95.
I pay 52. with phone and digi cable
that's an incredible linkhttp://www.bt.com/broadband/bb_info.jsp?s_cid=FURL-broadband
just slap in your telephone number @ the bottom where it says "see how fast you can go"

We only have choice due to laws in place which allow other companies to use hardware which BT put into place to re-sell there own wares. There are quite literally hundreds of DSL ISP's to chose from, the downside is that over 95% of them are total assbags.

one question';
how do you convert your tel number into "post code"?
