Try this

http://www.samknows.com/broadband/ch....php?p=summary

It will give you a good idea how far you are from the exchange (try both number and post code). Sky Uses ADSL2+ plus and I have seen pretty good results in Guildford: 13Mbps (ok 115 meters from the exchange) (My neighbour)

The provider for Sky Broadband is Easynet (for my exchange)

The following services are available in your location (Wembley):

BT Wholesale ADSL
BT Wholesale ADSL Max
BT Wholesale SDSL
Be LLU
Bulldog LLU
Easynet LLU (aka Sky Broadband)
Homechoice LLU
Pipex LLU
Orange LLU (Formerly Wanadoo)
21CN switch-over due Q2 2009

Please select the options on the left for more information about broadband availability at your location.
My postcode is HA0. Yes I have called retentions, but currently I am still paying £33ish for 10mb[UPTO] base pack, star plus & TU24. Now on sky I would have a much better digibox, ie one that changes channels when u want to, not when the digibox decides to let u! Plus that would be a FIXED price. My ntl retentions offer wont last forever, and i have to keep calling every other month as the bill is usually wrong! Also, ntl broadband isnt exactly gr8 at the moment!

btw, I am 950m from the exchange roughly!

I'd be very surprised if you got anywhere near 8mbit on ADSL unless you live right next door to the exchange.
As I sed, I use to get 7.1mb from f2s LLU.
