Wish that BT Wholesale checker had option there to add your email address to alert u of any change in their database.

I setup a webpage watcher service, using a url with my phone number, every time there was a change in the results I would get an email, so I knew straight away, well within a few hours of it going live.

I think someone posted instructions on here, and I certainly have.

How to get it? Is this the one? http://www.aignes.com/index.htm

This is pretty good to alert u http://www.cable.co.uk/tools/availability/

Possibly if you don't mind giving your address to some unknown website!

The URL I use is http://www.dslchecker.bt.com/pls/adsl/ADSLChecker.Te...

It only works with non LLU phone lines, and I've changed the number (you'll need to substitute 01234567890 for your number), you'll need to google for a web watcher service. I'm sure with you're knowledge you can do that

The idea is that you use the availability checker of your intended ISP, which will check for the availability of all necessary infrastructure. Most ISPs use BT Wholesale - it's only a handful that don't, though the two main exceptions, Sky and TalkTalk, are two of the largest ISPs.

The BT Wholesale checker is there as a service to the wider community. If it highlighted customer ISPs, that could be seen as BT Group favouring BT Wholesale based ISPs over non-BT Wholesale ISPs who take services directly from Openreach, which could give rise to regulatory issues. It is possible for an company using BT Wholesale WBC only to cover a limited geographic area, depending on which BT Wholesale nodes they choose to connect to, though this is more likely to apply to companies contracting directly with BT Wholesale to provide home service to their employees in a limited geographic area than an ISP serving the general public.

What the different between these two sites by BT. I checked both sites and it appear the same, no difference. The dslchecker is no padlock security but BTWholesale checker had padlock on it (high security)

The postcode based checker has always been unreliable for FTTx, as it doesn't cope gracefully with postcodes where there are multiple possible routings (two different PCPs or some EO lines).

When using the BT Wholesale checker, you should use the phone number of the line in question if it's a BT Wholesale line. If there is no existing BT Wholesale line, use the address based checker.
