now i know for a fact the the INGREBOURNE or ROMFORD exchanges can only serve the up to 8meg service..

Im on NTL 10meg looking forward to the 20meg upgrade..i will never ever go anywhere BT or SKY or BULLDOG or any of these silly leased line companies like pipex etc etc.

can anyone tell me if this 16meg thing is possible?? or if theres a site to check it on?

cheers..

Both exchanges have Sky kit installed and therefore are able to offer an ADSL2+ service.

I was with Bulldog before switching to NTL/VM and on their ADSL2+ service I got about 12Mb/s and I'm about 2km from the exchange. Bulldog advertised their service as 16M but if you're right on top of the exchange you can theoretically sync at up to 24M but BD (and Sky) advertise the service at 16M to reflect an "average" unlike Be who quote a maximum.

In summary, 16M is possible but certainly not guarenteed.
