Which is your exchange, and how far are you from it?
I'm on Waldringfield, 01473 736xxx. We have two lines, strangely enough the line on which we *don't* currently have ADSL always reported a maximum of 2Mb/s as opposed to the one where we do have ADSL reporting 1Mb/s maximum. We couldn't originally use the better line for ADSL because that was ISDN though it's now back to an ordinary POTS line.
I'm not sure of distance though 5.5km sticks in my mind for some reason.
Well my memory was totally wrong, the ADSL checker reports:-
Standard ADSL RAG results: [BT ADSL Code: AEGEGEC] You cannot receive 2Mbps ADSL [BT ADSL Code: AEGEGEC] You may be able to receive 1Mbps ADSL [BT ADSL Code: AEGEGEC] You can receive 512Kbps ADSL [BT ADSL Code: AEGEGEC] You can receive 256Kbps ADSL
You are approximately 2.39km from the exchange (straight line distance).
On the other line (dropwire comes from the same post outside) I get:-
Standard ADSL RAG results: [BT ADSL Code: GEGEGEZ] You can receive 2Mbps ADSL [BT ADSL Code: GEGEGEZ] You can receive 1Mbps ADSL [BT ADSL Code: GEGEGEZ] You can receive 512Kbps ADSL [BT ADSL Code: GEGEGEZ] You can receive 256Kbps ADSL
You are approximately 2.39km from the exchange (straight line distance).
