As it currently stands you are outside BT's limits. However, if your
local exchange has been unbundled you should be able to get faster with
one of the alternative providers.

In addition to line characteristics it all depends on whether the
service provider can provide the necessary local exchange equipment.

It also depends on whether your local exchange is connected to the
system in general.

If you are the only customer then it will not be economic to install
any. Why should you expect any special priviledges if you are unable
to pay extra?

It's all just a simple matter of economics.

Just wait. Be patient. You will eventually get the service you
require. Or you could get in touch with Pickfords and move.

Is this a 'wind up' posting ? That the OP can show line stats means the
exchange has ADSL equipment. The exchanges with it in are all capable of
2000 kbps, while other operators might also have installed kit there, then
possibly some higher speeds might be achieved. All this rubbish about 'any
special privileges' seems to be a figment of your imagination, Reg. I don't
suppose you have been taking advantage of 24 hour opening, by any chance ?

I have passed over it. I just didn't know the figures for 2mb limits
for line attenuation. Looks like I'll have to wait for ADSL2, or will
MaxDSL allow for longer cable runs and then maybe I'll get 2meg?
