Openreach claiming they will be adding more information regarding cabinets to its checkers sounds like a lode of rubbish to me.

Sounds like Openreach might be up to something...

Then I could be wrong... Only time will tell.

It's all rubbish talk from openreach. They won't put anything on a rubbish site on bt openreach when and where. It's load of rubbish site! Very poor by openreach.

Well I'm still awaiting a decision for my exchange as its currently UE..

But tbh, I think FTTC is a joke for "super-fast" connection, But then Virgin Media isn't exactly advanced as I would like.

Bring me FTTP from someone other than Openreach....

Also still living at home at the minute so don't care much, and when I do move to my own place, I will make sure my ADSL line would be good and just get that with Annex M.

Annex M reduces the download speed if the sync on Annex A is ~16Mbps or lower. At 16Mbps, by about 2.5Mbps, with very little upstream added. At 20Mbps, hardly any download reduction and the full 1.3Mbps upload gain.

I understand that, 10/2 would be good enough for me

If you only get 10Mbps down (reduced from 12.5) you won't gain more than a few kbps up. Under 1.5Mbps total I would guess.

I get that Annex M only works over certain distances, but I would get a service with customizable line profiles, my previous post was just pointing out what I can live with.

My BE line was Annex M, and before my line fault, I was able to get 16down and 1.5up with AnnexM enabled. After the fault was fixed I got 14down and 1.3up, with Annex M off, and with it on 13down and 1.0up. This was on a 27db loss line, just under 1 mile from exchange. ("clean line" said the SFI on the repair job).

Annex M is a very big lottery which is why most providers don't bother supporting it now that FTTC and similar is available.

I understand that but its still s£$t, Why do they hide everything from use for..
