In reply to a post by jezthomp:

Been reading on your site a bit more very helpful.

Thanks .

Once the exchange is upgraded, is it right that unless the roadside box near my house is also given an upgrade i will notice no improvement whats so ever?

Nearly right. Unless the roadside box gets an FTTC cabinet near it then you cannot get FTTC/Infinity, but the estimate you posted means that current plans (which can change) are for it to get one. What you don't seem to have quite grasped is that no-one gets an improvement unless they order one of the faster packages. If they do nothing then their connection stays just as it was before.

Is there any anything to look out for in regard to whether they will apply the upgrade to the roadside box also, or it it completely random?

Hmm done a more detailed check on that link you sent with my future address and not looking good i think...?

My address...
Exchange SUDBROOKE PARK

Your exchange is ADSL enabled, and our initial check on your address indicates that your line should be able to have an ADSL broadband service that provides a fixed line speed up to 512Kbps. However, due to the length of your line, an engineer visit may be required, who will, where possible, supply the broadband service.

Our check also indicates that your line currently supports an estimated ADSL Max broadband line speed of 1.5Mbps; typically the line speed would range between 1Mbps and 2.5Mbps.

The actual stable line speed supportable will be determined during the first 10 days of use. This speed may change over time, to ensure line stability is maintained.

If you decide to place an order, a further test will be performed to confirm if your line is suitable for the service you wish to purchase.

Thank you for your interest.
