BT BROADBAND AVAILABILITY CHECKER
Address xxx, LOWER FROYLE, ALTON, GU34 xxx on Exchange BENTLEY is served by Cabinet 3
According to the Wholesale checker, it will be anywhere between 15 and 36 Meg down and between 3 and 7.5 Meg up. Why such a range?
Where it falls within that range is kind of critical really. Vodafone 4G gives us 20/20 and EE 4G isn't as fast as it was, but is between about 25 and 50 down and 37 and 50 up.
Phone line length is about 1.3km so that ought to be somewhere around 18 down 5 up (line speed) so probably about 17 down 4 up performance. About the same as 3G. Why is the High estimate 36 Meg?
PlusNet is offering 27 down 5 up (it's talking the low end of the Range A Rates) and subscribes to the OFCOM Code of Practise for speeds and so is bound to try to achieve them or allow you to cancel. Though it doesn't specify full refund.
AAISP doesn't subscribe to the Code of Practice and seems to expect you to keep on paying even if it falls short. No thanks. Adrian, I don't think you'd accept that sort of one-sided arrangement yourself, would you
Aquiss and Zen want a phone number to get an estimate - still not sorted yet, I see. Not interested in custom? Why would I have a phone number?
It has been so long since I looked at fixed line broadband. It's not exactly compelling.
See what your result comes back with.
