Any postcode in the village would be useful, and is there anyone there you know of getting a connection speed of over 6500kbps?

The reason I ask that is that if the village is that distance from the exchange then ADSL2+ wouldn't give much benefit to most people. Which might be the reason the money hasn't been spent.

Presumably there isn't any VM cable either, so it comes down to BT saying "we've got you cornered, so tough" .

The latter i.e. ADSL around 5Mbps looking toward superfast broadband via FTTC then copper. However by white area I mean the area which the private sector won't reach by 2015 but which will to some as yet undetermined extent be delivered FTTC via DevonandSomerset / private partnership initiative

Apologies for anonymous....

Update for me personally. Since I know that whatever happens here it will be a 2 year struggle and since for me Orange broadband SUPPORT failed me abysmally over the last 3.5 years I just moved to BT. Since my new service is only 3 days old I can't say much about speed other than I am getting at least 1Mbps more than the best speeds I had last week.this is the current status from the new homehub3...

Just understood what you meant about VM cable...

As it happens some time ago NTL laid Fibre down the A303 The A303 is the same distance North from out village as the BT exchange is South from here if that helps.

So you aren't a really long way from the exchange, so ADSL2+ would be of benefit.

You've omitted the connection speeds from the stats, but I expect 8128/448, or quite possibly 7616/448 as you have interleaving on.

ADSL2+ connection speed would be getting on for 16Mbps. But there are no plans at the moment to provide it.

Can't tell you much more than that I'm afraid.

Re your question about speeds ove 6500Mbps......here are a few results from thinkbroadband speedtester over the last few days for my line...

That we would benefit from ADSL2+ is great news! Thanks

As we have a meeting coming up fairly soon could you just take a mo' to tell me/us would getting ADSL2+ be more financially realistic than going for fibre given that we might try to raise funds to try to help make this happen?

Is this what I omitted?

Sorry not to have respomded just once to your post - regarding interleaving, not sure if I can influence interleaving?

Many Thanks

Jamie

You sure it's 7938kbps downstream? I've never seen it not divisible by 32 on ADSL. Which isn't to say things haven't changed.

Unless you are into serious gaming, interleaving ON is usually sensible. It increases latency by a bit, but makes the line more stable.
