Information about my ADSL exchange
 

How do you get information on your exchange the connections speeds you would get , how many people are on it etc etc. I am on the leytonstone exchange

Re: Information about my ADSL exchange
 

Not sure if you will be able to get that kind of info. You can tell what speeds you can get by going to the BT.com site and putting your telephone number in. Not sure how you will get the other info!

Re: Information about my ADSL exchange
 

basically its no amber at peak times, so I will only get 2mb
So Bulldog ok then/.

Re: Information about my ADSL exchange
 

Have you been on the Bulldog website & checked, although you may be okay for 2mb at your local exchange Bulldog only offer 2mb business connection in certain areas.

Bulldog check Availability

Re: Information about my ADSL exchange
 

aye, I was all set to get bulldog 2 meg ADSL where I am, up until I checked my new BT line on the website, and was only offered and able to take the business line.

Shame really, because 2 meg @ 37.99 was a bargain.

am just waiting for my activation now on the 22nd of March now with Plus.net instead, would recommend them based on everything I have experienced with them this month so far.

Re: Information about my ADSL exchange
 

There are 3 ISP's that offer 2mb 24/7 around that price

256kbps to 2048kps download speed
Maximum of 256kbps upload speed
50:1 or 20:1 contention ratio
A static IP address
SMTP support for sending email
POP3 email access
Short 3 month contract
We do not block ports, you can use P2P if you wish
You can share your connection
Free backup 0845 access

1 isp actually beats Bulldogs price at £35.49 with a 3 month min contract. :)

Re: Information about my ADSL exchange
 

which ISP's are these mate?

Re: Information about my ADSL exchange
 

Found my Thread here is the link

You will find the other isp's listed in my other thread here which i have also Bumped into view again.

I have bumped into view another of my cheap ADSL 2mb threads so it doesnt get lost/deleted... etc

Re: Information about my ADSL exchange
 

This is a tool with my current ISP that allows you to get specific information on your exchange as well, dont know if this is what you were looking for.

Re: Information about my ADSL exchange
 

The Capacity Local BT Exchange Report link (re:Post #19) says my local BT exchange is Amber, the plus net report says green bit of a slight confliction there.

Re: Information about my ADSL exchange
 

Yes I get the same problem

Re: Information about my ADSL exchange
 

If your going to go with Bulldog use their online availability checker & checkout the packages they do (which are not available on all BT exchanges) even though other checkers report that your local BT exchange can offer upto 2meg ADSL service, also make sure you read their Terms & Conditions like minimum service contract etc.

Re: Information about my ADSL exchange
 

Yay, I can get the Bulldog 2Meg. At least I know thta if I do leave NTL in the coming months I'm going to get a better deal for about the same price! :)

Re: Information about my ADSL exchange
 

I wasnt providing my link as an "end all" solution there anyhow, I just provided something I felt would help as I wasnt sure that his question had been resolved :)

Re: Information about my ADSL exchange
 

Thankyou for posting that link Macready each BT exchange link i come across on my travels each gives different results (i just treat them as a guide anyway) I didnt take your post as an "end all" solution i apologise if my post reply indicated that it was.

(i may be wrong) but i dont think he has quite fully made up his mind yet what options are open to him as Bulldog isnt the only ADSL isp to a offer 2mb conection.

Re: Information about my ADSL exchange
 

aye I see that,

Its worth noting as well that the line BT install may not be capable of 2 meg as well, as mine told me I could only have 2 meg if it was a "business" class connection, which made it about £70 a month plus for that with the companies I was looking at.

Even though bulldog advertise that, I think its a case of only being available if its a bulldog enabled exchange really, as I was very interested in that 2 meg offer, up until I settled for an initial year on 512k so I didnt get slammed with connection charges and hardware costs.

Re: Information about my ADSL exchange
 

I had the same problem when i checked Bulldog out earlyier this year & then decided to opt for a 2mb 24/7 connection with another ADSL isp.

Re: Information about my ADSL exchange
 

FYI the company supplying the connectivity to BT exchanges to provision the cheap 2Mbit services (Telefonica) seem to be getting somewhat more careful about where they spend the few grand on provisioning the VPs - I couldn't get any consumer 2Mbit services as the area served by my exchange is too small for them and there's no prospect of a quick return to them.

Bulldog are/have upgraded another 100 exchanges, but will be a while before they do any more.
