Haha yeah, SDSL would be awesome to have in the house. Then again, you can get LLU for a lot cheaper with pretty fast upload and seriously fast download, whereas I can't

Re: Internet availability in your area

If Be was available in my area, there is no way we'd be with Blueyonder. 24Mbps down and 1Mbps up for £24/month definately beats 10Mbps down and 384Kbps up for £35/month.

Re: Internet availability in your area

samknows gives me green for

the reality is its inaccurate data for cable so i cant get ntl cable, and despite me been in a suburban area almost in leics city their is no local exchange so all the lines in this area also have high attenuation (length) so the adsl isnt great.
