Sorry to butt in but maybe you could recommend somebody for me? my exchange is hawkhurst

I am currently with o2 but looking to move. I thought you got a better/cheaper deal having phone/broadband bundle?

I don';t do any gaming.

I too wanted to switch to BE but they are not available, want to avoid BT like the plaque.

to be honest I haven't heard of a lot of the suppliers mentioned here and all the comparison sites are giving me different results, and they don't mention TM etc you have to rummage to find the info.

Maybe one for Bob

Just incase, here are my stats agan, but this time plugged into the test socket behind the master socket. I notice there is a significant difference in downstream speed:

The cause of that is likely your internal wiring.

If you then had a SNR reset back to 6db, you may see another 2Mb on the line too.

LLY with sky, zen could only offered 8mb max with 25gb cap, sky offered 16 (and now 20) with no limits.

I get 14.2Mb on avereage, the move made sense on price and speed. Though on support and reliability I was very hesitant as would be hard to gett better than zen in those terms

That sounds rather tasty! How would I go about getting the SNR reset done?

I've decide to take an unlimited calls subscription from TalkTalk since I am already with them.

That's hardly any difference from BT phone service: £18.51 pm TT Anytime vs. £18.60 pm BT Anytime (with option of £15 pm if you pay annual line rental in advance) for identical features and conditions.

But can you get another ISP's BB when you have TT phone?

Your exchange has no LLU, just like OP. So you are stuck with BT IPStream, resold by most ISPs. Whatever's recommended for OP will probably apply to you too.

Until you have your internal wiring sorted, you don't. It would almost certainly just revert to the high setting again.

The first thing you can do yourself about it is check the Ring/Bell wire and follow the instructions on that page if it is connected.

While you are at it, please note down and then post the colours and terminal numbers of all the other wires attached to the faceplate.

Then reconnect using the test socket and get the stats, replace the faceplate and reconnect to that and get the stats.

OP here, decided to register because of how helpful this forum has been.

Removed the Ring wire last night and here are my stats now, plugged into the master socket. (Not the test socket):

Now there are just blue/white wires in terminals 2 and 5.
