Interestingly my Exchange is listed as getting it and last I heard from BT
was that my exchange would not be.

That finally confirms that I am way out in the sticks, my exchange isn't
mentioned anywhere.

The checker says that my exchange is not yet enabled, but as my
exchange (Starbeck) runs off Harrogate and Harrogate is Infinite
now, what does that mean.

I am puzzled.

Think I'll stay with my solid 10MHz cable from VM....

Same here. I appear to be surrounded (nearest is about 8 miles away) but, as
usual, not enough info. to know which region I'm in.
Northampton (I'm a few miles to the south) can be: E. Midlands, South, East,
East Anglia(!), Midlands and other, bizarre, ones that never make sense.

Agreed. I have never understood why Northampton is covered in the BBC East
news, to me it is a Midlands town.

The cable might be solid but most Cabinets are cheap and nasty leftovers
from Nynex et al. The CE recently said they couldn't afford to make then
secure....

The TV transmitter for here is Sandy, but I have to use Oxford due to a
railway bank about 100m away. I feel more affinity to Oxford than to East
Angular, but none of the regions is suitable for Northampton.

Stony Stratford exchange is on a list for Infinity and part of SS is in
Northants, so it's getting closer.
Even so, I'd be v. happy with 5 - 6Mbps on a reliable basis.
