Theoretically the range increases to 6km, i.e. an increase from 55db
attenuation to 60db attenuation on the line as the pass mark for the
insertion test. Rumoured to be available September.

Working fine here at around 60db.

There are trial places still available, but not to ISDN to ADSL converters
unfortunately.

unless you bite the bullet and pay £50 for the conversion, risking
another £75 to have highway instaled again.
