My local BT exchange has 3 options for LLU services...C&W, TalkTalk or Sky. http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange/WNHR
My current ISP uses C&W LLU. I'm getting fed up of BT pestering me with their sales calls, and, as a light telephone user, would like to move to a phone calls, line rental and broadband package to reduce costs. I'm currently waiting to see what XILO will offer me when they introduce their phone services in the next few months. Meanwhile, I'm investigating my options. Which brings me to my question...
I currently have a reliable internet connection with good speeds for this area. My router sync at around 10MB and I regularly see download speeds close to 1MB/sec. Most of my work colleagues report sync speeds less than half of this from a variety of ISP's, and seem to disbelieve me when I say I get 10MB. My question is, if I moved to another LLU provider such as Sky, will my line stats be different? AFAIK, my router should still sync at the same (or better) speeds? OHMS's law would dictate that the copper wire running from my house to the BT exchange won't change between service providers, so therefore the service would not deteriorate if using the same technology.
Am I being too naive?
