Thread: Interpreting exchange information

Started 1 month, 3 weeks ago by trautigan
I've checked the status of the exchange near to where I am moving to, and this is what it tells me. Can anyone translate this into terms which relate to my possible broadband recption now and in the future? I've had a go, but would appreciate any thoughts from forum members. The exchange....has ADSL status: Enabled as of 21/01/2004 ADSL Max status: Enabled as of 30/03...

You're more or less correct, although these days ADSLMAX (up to 8Mbps) is the standard so it doesn't technically cost more, if anything MAX services cost less . In regards to the last two, 21CN PSTN means your exchange has been upgraded to support BT's latest IP based technology, while WBC hints that you will not be able to get faster than 8Mbps services (e.g. up to 24Mbps via ADSL2+) until ...

Thanks Mark - now, next dumb Q: can you explain a bit about ADSL2? Like what it is? And whilst trying to work out the speeds i can expect from the area I may move to I've been using this site http://www.broadbandchecker.co.uk/broadband-checke r.php Are there any others you would recommend? How trustworthy are they? And, to totally finish you off on the Question front,...

We have a checker here too, which uses technology from the excellent Samknows site: http://www.ispreview.co.uk/checker/ As for ADSL2+, well there's a simplified description of it here: http://www.ispreview.co.uk/broadband_DSL.php

thanks for great answers and a good link...it's all there, just a question of knowing where to look. Just in case anyone is interested, we've decided not to move to the village mainly due to the poor internet performance, and the fact it was not likely to get any better in the near future. There was no mobile coverage - there was a satellite service but it would have cost 82 quid a ...
