it doesnt say on postcode checker

You need to use the Address (not Postcode) Checker as previously suggested.

Does it give a cab # like:

Address AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA on Exchange EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE is served by Cabinet 10

If not you are Exchange Only (EO) and they are not yet doing those.

I'd say there's a damn good chance he is from his initial speeds 21/1 ?

That's no way of predicting the probability! I'm on 20/1 ADSL2+ speeds on a 2km line thro' that Cab 10 highlighted above.

A much better predictor would be whether OP has a v. low attenuation.

the address checker says:

Welcome to the Broadband Availability checker. This will provide a provisional check of your ability to receive reliable Broadband services.

Your address has been successfully matched; however we cannot determine ADSL availability at this address. Please try the Telephone Number or Postcode Checker.

there isn't one.; the postcode checked just gives result for my postcode doesn't even list my exchange and i cant use the phone one

The usual assumption is that you should ask your Telco what they can do with your line, so you would need to call Sky who have access to this information.
That website only works for people using BTwholesale services.
