cheers Martin

What does this checker say? Both the A/Clean and B/Impacted lines please.

fttc a 55.8 38.1 14.5 8.9
b 47.5 27.4 14.5 6.9
thanks for looking

To get the 50 Mbps you are on Infinity 2 an up to 76 Mbps service.

For many other providers, to avoid the moans that speeds are not what were promised they may be filtering based on the lower 27.4 Mbps figure from the checker.

Remember the cheapest products will only give up to 38 Mbps, to get the extra 12 Mbps like now you need to sign up to the faster and more expensive option.

As MrSaffron says.

You say the ISPs you have checked. I think both Sky and TalkTalk will do as he says and are offering only the "up to 38Mbps" product because of the 38.1 in the Clean estimate, though both do have the 76Mbps one available. As a side issue I think the TalkTalk one is only 2Mbps upstream rather than the normal 10Mbps.

Have you looked at Plusnet or any other ISP? Plusnet may do the same, (38/20 in fact), but can easily be persuaded to give you the 76/20.

With any ISP your line can connect at the same speed as now as long as you are on the right product.

its good to know that i will get about the same speed when i change ,i thought i would but had to be sure thanks
