BT Wholesale ADSL Max

Breaks · 14 Apr 2006 at 17:09

Hello all,

Well, im on standard BT ADSL broadband (1Mbps) as thats all that is available to me on standard broadband, however on samknows.com i entered my home phone number as well as my post code and within the summary it said that BT Wholesale ADSL Max is enabled and available on my exchange, and when i went to BT ADSL speed readings it said the following: According to BT Wholesale, your line should be able to support a 3.5Mbps or greater ADSL connection via ADSL Max. So how do i go about upgrading to this? Should i just ring up and say "i want to upgrade to BT ADSL Max? Also will they charge me to upgrade? Is it more a month than what im paying now? (As i heard it was £35 a month for that connection with a 50gig download limit per month). Is this information correct? Anyone else done this?

Thank you for reading and best regards,

Breaks.

ADSL Max is available to 99.7% of exchanges around the UK, try calling your ISP and asking them how much it will be to upgrade. BT Wholesale are the people that provide the lines and all the technology that runs them behind the scenes. You as an EU wont ever contact them, when talking to BT it will be BT retail who are a completely seperate company.

Maybe you could check the prices yourself by looking on their website or logging onto your account with them.

And there should be an Option to upgrade to Option 4 which is Max Dsl. I guess you'll have to do the rest of the work yourself.

Im not trying to get people to do it for me, i just havent really got a wide knowledge on internet services and what not. I thought id ask people on here for their opinions / experiences as they might have, not to get people to do it for me.

I think then that you don't have to ring them up and you can just do it online by logging into your account and picking Option 4. If you pick it then it should let you know if there are any upgrade fees and what the new price will be.

I don't have BT broadband myself but from people talking about it on here I think thats how it's done.
