No I've never been on LLU.

Sorry, that is impossible! At your exchange you just can't get above 8 Meg speeds from non-LLU. Only LLU there will provide you with the necessary ADSL2+; BTw doesn't have that there.

You've already had my reaction to that.

Never liked the idea of giving up my BT line

You don't need to give up your phone line to go on LLU.

I think you are confused between the 2 types of LLU: Full LLU where your ISP supplies both BB & phone or Partial LLU where ISP supplies BB only. Many resellers like ADSL24 do sell BB only over LLU networks.

You were on Partial LLU, with the BB supplied over C&W or TT LLU networks, but not the phone.

Well I can post the speed test logs for you if you like. Something happened about a year ago and my speed increased to around the 13400kbps. I was amazed but didn't complain. The speed fluctuated but very very rarely went under 9000kbps. Got the logs to prove it. ADSL24 couldn't do LLU here because I did ask at the time they started providing it. So I'm sorry but that's the truth and how these speeds were achieved I cannot answer.

And please let me reiterate I was not on LLU nor partial LLU. I was with ADSL24 long before they did LLU, in fact 3 years before they did LLU. ADSL24 only supplied BB then, they didn't even do phone contracts.

Below is the only information I get for my phone number.

Caley.

For all ADSL and WBC Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) services, the stable line rate will be determined during the first 10 days of service usage.

Throughput/download speeds will be less than line rates and can be affected by a number of factors within and external to BT's network, Communication Providers' networks and within customer premises.

The Stop Sale date for Datastream is from 30-Jun-2012; the Formal Retirement date for Datastream is from 31-Mar-2014.

This is meaningless, most of the information appears to be missing - your exchange, cabinet number and estimated speeds. Where are they?

You can have LLU broadband but BT phone. Don't confuse the term LLU with the provider taking over the whole line.

That is the only information on the page nothing about cabinets etc and if it's meaningless then I'm sorry cause I didn't put the page together.

Did you not get a table? Its directly above the text you copied (which is often the same for everyone). The table is the interesting information.

If you want to think I have LLU then by all means do so. I know where my phone line and BB are situated and it's not LLU.

You don't now, as you're getting 8meg max sync, which is the original ADSL kit known as 20CN. To have had faster speeds, you either had LLU or you had BT's newer equipment known as 21CN and WBC. The table from the checker will confirm.
