Distance from the exchange


[link to this post]
 
Hi,

I am about to get a new connection but i d like to find out how far is my house from the exchange server.

I remember that somebody had mentioned a website once but i cannot find it using the search.

If anybody has an idea, it d be much appreciated.

Thanks

or,

Just remember it's a direct distance, and due to BT's cabling techniques, totally unrelated to actual line length (example, I'm 2.65km from the exchange, but my line length is 6.94km - apparently).

Thanks a lot Ade

In my case it say 915 meters (straight line) with the possibility of up to 6Mbps.

Do you have any idea what kind of downloading speed I am supposed to get with that?

Cheers
