Hi - its not a big thing to find out, I went here and entered my post code and phone number and apparently (on the llist to the right) talk talk and aol can offer me services but everything else cant - I see then it says services for llu? that right?

also at the moment Im with tiscali (about to change to bt :p) but I was wondering about this llu in my area - is it isp specific or not? and will I be able to get more than what I currently get (2mb) with tiscali?

ok I just went here and typed in my downstream attenuation (7.5) and these are the results:

does that mean I can get 8mb? or no?

really a star wars link? damn I must have been more tired last night than I thought lol....

ok so I will speak to talk talk tomorrow, I need to see what sort of speeds I can get... I done a line check from aol yesterday - although those results say aol do llu speeds in my area, their website says I dont even have internet lol.... well my bt activates on the 27th... I can just cancel it :S but I really dislike tiscali... they are terrible. they say no caps on my bb and yet I've phoned them so many times to complain about my speeds.

I think I will check out talk talk... I dont like the idea of using aol - their customer service is more rubbish than getting a conversation with a amiga 500.

I just went to that link (sam knows best) and entered my phone number, apparently talk talk and aol both offer llu. what will that mean? they can offer me the best service?

OMG some tech support people are ****ing idiots.

I cant get a speed check with aol because of something called a "cease pending" on my line. I have recently ordered bt (as you know) not sure if that has anything to do with it but here are the notes aol told me:

line status = cease pending
note: there is currently a cease pending or in progress against this line, a provision order can only be placed, after completion of the cease order which is due to occur by the 19th of september 2007.

they gave me this number to speak to bt wholesale (ommmm naughty as only isp's are allowed to have this lol)

0800 169 9576

anyway bt wholesale said for me to quote a cbu number to bt retail.... in que for them now but they dont really know what Im talking about. smashing stuff.

I checked and cant get be* in my area :(

also does anyone know what 21cn means??? :S I get it in 2011.... not that I will be living here by then but nice to know lol

anyway I just got off the phone to bt cos Im sick with all the transfering of calls. (hate csr's that dont take responsability of calls)

and they said it will be sorted on the 27th of december. that is the day my broadband with bt was meant to be ready that I ordered. that has now been cancelled. would that really sort the issue?
 
thanks.... I honestly have no idea about broadband etc... I just seen the word llu yesterday and googled it.... lol

is there any way I can do a search for providers that do this enta? if its a service :S

just visited enta.net and now checking the link you gave me - I'll give both of them a ring tomorrow I guess.
 
I really dunno about these enta companies - I've had a look at about 5 of them (idnet, adsl24,vivaciti and 2 others) and they all have pretty expensive rates :S how so high when compared to llu providers?
 
ok well my bt line activated today but as I was looking at another company to switch to (thats better) I noticed my home hub said Im connected at 7,616kbps and up speed of 448??

being really happy with this I go and check my speed at the bt speed check site which gives me an error :S phoned them up and they said give it until 9pm tonight as this is my activation day.

anyway they didnt tell me over the phone how fast my speed would be - although when signing up they said I would get 2mb's.....

so I just went to that speedcheck site and got this

so what is the deal? :S do I believe my home hub or is it lying to me? :S
 
oh... lol well maybe tomorrow? tbh I cant see it changing to the home hub settings.... I aint holding my breath.

**edit**
just done a bt speed test on BT's registration site and that says 6.5mb's.... Im sure Im just being thrown figures at me....

damn just read about these ip profiles taking 5-10 days :( Im sure bt said that I get 10 days to 2 weeks to test their service...
