My local telephone exchange is becoming broadband enabled at the end of September and I am working on the assumption that I will be able to use it (BT's site says I MAY).
I would give BT's broadband sales number a ring just to confirm that your phone number can receive ADSL before you get excited. I was in the same position after I moved to my new house only to find that I was more than 5.5Km from the Norwich West exchange and therefore couldn't get ADSL. I received the same answer from their 'online checker' - you 'may' be able to receive it...
I had the same situation and was told I couldn't recieve it but I've now got connected with the Extended Reach trial that BT are doing. Basically if you are just too far for ADSL then you may be able to get connected with the Extended Reach trial (using normal ADSL equipment). For ISPs that are participating in the trial have a look at http://www.adslguide.org/newsarchive.asp?item=1175
