Openreach say about 11% of all lines are EO, which are likely to be heavily weighted towards large business/office premises in city centres.
In central London (the City/West End , not Sarth London ) it could well be more than 50% of lines on an exchange.
Residential EO lines seem to be in smallish clusters except for large blocks of flats/MDU's
After contacting BT again ti finall got through to someone who knew a thing or two and he said that i could pay for an external extention that would cost me £205 to have done. i called back as they said someone would contact me i 7 working days and nobody did and no one knew what i was talikng about and it could not be done??????? what the hell!!!!!! can some one help plz as this is going round and round... i need to sort my broadband as i am out of contract and need to fix doown a good deal. is there anybody that works for BT/openreach that could help with this.
For all future calls, ask for a name and a reference number, so that queries etc can be traced. Of course BT may not offer a system like this, I do not know.
I hesitate to say it but it is working great here (Kell--). I am just beginning to explore waht the greater speeds offer.
