There is a checker somewhere on PlusNet's site but I can't find it at the moment, they've probably moved it to the application process forcing you to attempt to sign up before telling you if you can get it or not

However you can also check by going to BT's site...

http://www.bt.com/broadband/

You can enter a BT number or a post code.

The ones you may not be able to get are the LLU services offering higher speeds than BT presently does (though BT are trialling higher speeds at present).


Therefore you can also check with this checker, which will tell you not only BT availability but also LLU options like EasyNet and Bulldog, plus tells you if you're in a cabled area if you search by post code...

well i did that man, and

Bulldog is not available at your location.
HomeChoice is not available at your location.
Easynet is not available at your location.
Node4 is not available at your location.
Trilogy Telecom is not available at your location

also, 'You are approximately 1.86km from the exchange (straight line distance). ' is that good?
Your exchange is enabled for SDSL!

Your exchange is enabled for ADSL!
There is capacity at your exchange for further ADSL connections.


Thats all!
so im stuck with 2mb.. well 3mb max from ntl.. damn...?
