That just shows a blank search page. What's your exchange code?

Well Sky are the only real LLU option available. No usage limits, but interleaving always on so you might notice a hike in pings coming from cable. Still generally a solid service and cheap if you package it with Sky TV. Alternatively go through their UK Online subsidiary if you only want the broadband.

Agreed, just hit the ADSL2+ upgrade button with them. Will see what results I get.

No, it tells you Zen LLU is not available. According to Samknows there are only four exchanges where it is.

Ah right. that explains it

SO LLU GIVE YOUR ISP THE FUNCTION OF USING THERE OWN HARDWARE INCREASING BANDWIDTH FOR USERS. IE ASDL2, VOIP ETC???

tolien · 27 Apr 2009 at 21:21

Yeah, but they also make your Caps Lock key work. You wouldn't like it.

edGfaCTor · 27 Apr 2009 at 21:37

If Sky is the only LLU available I would say go with them for the moment if upgrades are done to the exchange at a later time you could always migrate once the term with Sky is up.

im getting poor adsl2 speeds with adsl24, totally sick of waiting 5 days for the BT profile to raise, im going to switch to Vivaciti LLU, I should then be upto 4-5mb, which my line stats suggest I should be at speed wise.
