What should I do?

Hi all,

I am currently living at my mums and have 2meg adsl with Zen. The thing is, I am moving very shortly to a ground floor flat (post code SL6 3DE), and there isnt a phone line. Now I cant see if I can get broadband until I have a phone line, but have to pay £75 to get a line installed.

Any ideas?

Some online checkers will let you input the post code too.

cool.

Your location should be able to receive service of up to 2Mbps
If possible, check with a phone number as these are far more accurate.

You are approximately 2.30km from the exchange (straight line distance).

Cool, so i should just be able to transfer it

The post code checker is horrifically inaccurate though.
The simple answer's get a phone line installed and see what you get from there.
