Tis true, BT say I can't have broadband in the forseeable future. I'm about 5km too far from the exchange to get it and they haven't got any plans to stretch the service any further until new technology makes it viable.

Still, I have ISDN to keep me going, but it's not going to be much good when Xbox Live comes along, is it? hmph!

Mine's quite far away from me, but it's a big exchange so it was enabled right away.

Hurrah for me!

Got you beat there - 4m. Course, what annoys me so much, is that despite ADSL now being available to anyone within 7km of a digital exchange it seems that having another exchange nearer to you disrupts things. They little gimps are now saying that they'll upgrade exchanges to digital after a certain number of subscribers to that point enquire about ADSL, which is not on, given the government outright told them to make broadband available to everyone in the span of another year or so.

They need slapping, hard, and repeatedly.
