Gemmill 36786 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Just discovered this on N-O - cheers to The Order and Flintoff. Go to www.btbroadband.com find your package and click on "Upgrade" below it. Follow the steps and you'll get a free upgrade from 2mb to 8mb.

Bizza 105 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Bollocks. Used to be on BT, Switching to Tiscali seemed like such a good idea at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 36786 Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 Did mine earlier, but I rang up instead. The lass reckons I'll be on a minimum of 6.5meg. Just to rub it in like. It should go through on the 8th of May, so I'll pretty much be on auto-post from then on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus 0 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 this is the dslmax technology that has just been rolled out. the speed you get depends on how far you are from your exchange. how much cabling does your exchange have inside it before 'your line' leaves the building ? 500m ?? 3 miles ????? also, your telephone line doesnt exactly head in a straight line from the exchange to your house - it literally goes round the houses. i'm 768 metres from the wallsend exchange but there could be 2.5 miles of cabling in between!

Whatever happens, I'm on 2 meg at the minute with the same length of cabling I'll be on when I move to 8 meg, so chances are I'm gonna see an improvement. Now deal with it, boy!

Gemmill 36786 Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 Where do I click on that site to find that out? Can't work it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 36786 Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 Found it: According to BT Wholesale, your line should be able to support a 6Mbps or greater ADSL connection via ADSL Max. I'm 747 metres from the exchange. Might shift my computer closer to the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
