superbiatch: I don't have a clue whether work up to the house has been done. Is there any way I can check myself? Otherwise I guess I'll only know once an engineer comes down.

you can put in postcode on samknows and it will tell you direct distance from exchange.
if its under 0.5km it will very likely be good, under 1km it will more likely be good then bad, under once over 1km is when it becomes a big gamble really as its possible for a 1.5km distance to be very good but also be bad. Remember these are straight line so reali distance will be more. ofcom state the average is 1.4km distance to 1km straight line but in many cases I have seen much larger gaps.
