Thread moved to other ISPs since it seems to be about what they are believed to offer.

You DO realise that you'll never see anything like that speed on a BT line (not until they install 21CN in your area anyway). A friend of mine went over to Sky on the 16MB package and after a month of only getting 2MB MAX he came straight back to Virgin!!

Don't say you weren't warned!!

Good luck - I hope you get the bandwidth/service you are expecting.

You have made the right decision, imho, as you are unhappy with your current provider.

i considered it too - then I found out I can't use my own equipment, so I stayed with VM. I'm too far to get any decent ADSL performance from my exchange too. Good luck!

O2 aka BE is LLU equipment not reliant on BTs own kit to provide adsl2+ services.

Of course the line length/quality will still come into play for synch speed.

Erm.. wrong. 21cn won't replace the last mile (the user's phone line), it only replaces the backend connection to the exchange. Any unbundled isp will be using it's own backend connection anyway, not bt's.

21cn won't make a blind bit of difference for most people.

Also, bear in mind that some bt lines can and do support speeds up to 24 meg.

BT are not even thinking of replacing the speaker wire connection yet. All they are interested in is the inter switch stuff as this will make there business offering better.

I will be shocked if you see any movement on the speaker wire replacement within the next 10 years.
