Oh blooming nora, I'd completely forgotten about that thread!!! *facepalm*
OK...in the house we have two phone lines...
One upstairs which currently has:
O2 broadband
O2 voice
VOIP
Downstairs
A bog standard phoneline with BT
A credit card machine which dials out using that line (home based business if you were wondering)
What I'm wanting to do is to kill the O2 line upstairs, which is about 14 years old, it was installed and wired up in 1998.
Enable fibre on the downstairs line and have:
Phone line with anytime calls on the line
Fibre
Credit card machine, upgraded to a broadband terminal so it doesn't tie up the phone line
VOIP number
All coming off one line...hopefully decrease the bills a bit.
I hope that'll all be OK running off one line!
*edit - checker details added*
ADSL2+ broadband line speed of 13Mbps; typically the line speed would range between 11.5Mbps and 14.5Mbps. Our test also indicates that your line could support an estimated ADSL 2+ Annex-M broadband upstream line speed of 1Mbps and downstream line speed of 13Mbps; typically the downstream speed would range between 11.5Mbps and 14.5Mbps.
Our test also indicates that your line currently supports a fibre technology with an estimated WBC FTTC Broadband where consumers have received downstream line speed of 25.7Mbps and upstream line speed of 5.7Mbps.
Interestingly I've just run the same test with my upstairs phone, and it's absolutely accurate with the downstream on ADSL2+, I do indeed get download speeds of between 10-12mbps, when downloading it tops out at an absolute maximum of 1.4MB/s - it also shows that the downstairs phone line should support slightly faster ADSL2+ speeds!
your line currently supports an estimated ADSL2+ broadband line speed of 11Mbps; typically the line speed would range between 10Mbps and 12Mbps. Our test also indicates that your line could support an estimated ADSL 2+ Annex-M broadband upstream line speed of 1Mbps and downstream line speed of 11Mbps; typically the downstream speed would range between 10Mbps and 12Mbps.
Our test also indicates that your line currently supports a fibre technology with an estimated WBC FTTC Broadband where consumers have received downstream line speed of 25.7Mbps and upstream line speed of 5.7Mbps.
It predicts the fibre will be the same speed for both lines...disappointingly lower than I had hoped.

The upstream is good compared to the 1mbps we have now though...don't upload much though, except for backing up to cloud storage.
Looking on Google at the distance to the cabinet using the distance checker and comparing on the TB fibre board I was hoping for around 34mbps as we are around 700 yards from the exchange.
