For my exchange...oh dear lol

ADSL is available in your area
Your exchange is also enabled for ADSL Max services

According to BT Wholesale, houses at your postcode should be able to support a 0.5Mbps or greater ADSL connection.

Standard ADSL RAG results:
You cannot receive 2Mbps ADSL
You cannot receive 1Mbps ADSL
You may be able to receive 512Kbps ADSL
(Engineer visit likely)
You may be able to receive 256Kbps ADSL
(Engineer visit likely)

You are approximately 4.10km from the exchange. Note that this is the straight line distance - the actual cable length will be longer!

oh dear :\...

Any advice of who to go for...by the way thats using a postcode checker, as i don't have the phone line yet.

Didn't you ask this less than a month ago?

Looks like you might be stuck with .5mb then matey, just got with a nice reliable supplier like Enta and therefore atleast you will have low pings.

yes get a reliable internet like http://www.thinkbroadband.com/isp/c...5=1&isp_16=1&isp_86=1&isp_24=1&commit=Compare

idnet are just over priced for the usage.

Hyper · 20 May 2008 at 13:51

I have to agree although you are paying for the awesome support.

You shouldn't see much difference if any. Once away from the exchange, you will be routed with everybody else along the main backbones, so the ping times will vary very little. So just go with the ISP that you are happy with.
