Strange answers from the checker! We have 2 BT lines in our house, the main one used for most incoming/outgoing voice calls has always been here! For this one the checker has told me:
Your exchange has ADSL broadband.
Our initial test on your line indicates that you should be able to have an ADSL broadband service that provides 2Mbps, 1Mbps, 512Kbps or 256Kbps download speed.
If you decide to place an order, a further test will be performed to confirm if your line is suitable for the speed of service you wish to purchase.
Thank you for your interest.
The second line I had installed mainly for internet use as the main line had to be available for emergency use re elderly relatives. This line comes into an upstairs room where I disappear for hours my wife says. This is the line I would use for broadband. The checker for this line tells me:
Your exchange has ADSL broadband.
Our initial test on your line indicates that you may be able to have an ADSL broadband service that provides 512Kbps or 256Kbps download speed. However, due to the length of your line, an engineer visit may be required, who will, where possible, supply the broadband service.
How could there be such a massive difference? Perhaps the line wanders round the town and is jointed with sellotape? Please help this elderly guy who just wishes to have broadband and a speedier service!
