Re: Information about my ADSL exchange

Not sure if you will be able to get that kind of info. You can tell what speeds you can get by going to the BT.com site and putting your telephone number in. Not sure how you will get the other info!

Re: Information about my ADSL exchange

aye, I was all set to get bulldog 2 meg ADSL where I am, up until I checked my new BT line on the website, and was only offered and able to take the business line.

Shame really, because 2 meg @ 37.99 was a bargain.

am just waiting for my activation now on the 22nd of March now with Plus.net instead, would recommend them based on everything I have experienced with them this month so far.

There are 3 ISP's that offer 2mb 24/7 around that price

256kbps to 2048kps download speed
Maximum of 256kbps upload speed
50:1 or 20:1 contention ratio
A static IP address
SMTP support for sending email
POP3 email access
Short 3 month contract
We do not block ports, you can use P2P if you wish
You can share your connection
Free backup 0845 access


1 isp actually beats Bulldogs price at £35.49 with a 3 month min contract.

Re: Information about my ADSL exchange

This is a tool with my current ISP that allows you to get specific information on your exchange as well, dont know if this is what you were looking for.
