Have moved to central London from rural Hampshire and was looking forward to city living.
Overall its going great other than I have gone from have FTTC with a respectable 60-65mb/s connection to ADSL with an unreliable 2.5mb/s connection.
Doing a bit of digging and no one seems to know for certain what is going on but it appears that despite the fact I have to step around a FTTC cabinet every morning when coming out the door that the block of flats is wired directly to the exchange (Bermondsey CLBER) which is 2.5km away and as such Plus.Net are saying that its the best thats possible to get. The exchange states that it supports FTTP and FTTPoD but as its a MDU plus.net wont consider it for the FTTP trial and say there is no more FTTPoD at the moment.
Is there any options open to me at all? I cannot work with such unreliable and slow technology and so its costing me a fortune travelling to the office every day.
