256k Broadband spec??

Hi,

My line has just too much noise to accept 512k broadband (whereas my neighbours line has it with no probs!!), will it be likely that a 256k broadband service would work on my line? Are the tolerances greater with 256k than 512k?

Cheers,


Darren
 
I am 4.5 miles from the exchange and according to BT check online it stated it was unkikely that my line would support 512K or even 256K.
I ordered BB from my ISP and was told that I could get 512K. I proceeded with the order but after having worked with it for a month or so it was obvious that my speed was only the equivalent of 256. The ISP agreed and reduced my package to 256 and gave me a refund.
Hope this helps.
