If that is this Driffield, it has TalkTalk, so I imagine TTB (TakTalk Business Wholesale) that is mentioned a lot here is available from the resellers.

Xilo state they can only provide up to 8 meg, I can get up to 14 at present so they are not an option really.

Talk Talk and Sky claim you can get 20mbps, however this is misleading. The exchange has been upgraded but the street level boxes are 20 years old and not upgraded. Both try the sales tactic, but then the documentation states up to 8 meg.

Hopefully someone will crash into our box so we can have a new one

seems my posts got attention from coms as I have been contacted, so they do read this forum.

Checker might be using the estimate from BT-based which might be up to 8Mb.

If you can get Pro (via our checker), it'll go as fast as the line can support up to the maximum on ADSL2+ of 24Mb.

Was this a PM from "ComCS" saying "We have taken note of your query via the forum and would like to assist you."

In reply, I've queried what the query was that they have taken note of.

The difference between the "up to 8Mbps" and "up to 16/20/24Mbps" is nothing at all to do with street boxes. It's stuff in the exchange that determines that, then the speed you get within the "up to" depends mainly on the cabling distance you are from the exchange.

It could be you are so far from the exchange your line only supports 8Mbps or so.
