Speed up broadband for business line

Hi

Recently BT have introduced a "guaranteed" speed increase of at least 512k for a £90.00 fee. No
speed increase, no fee. On my slow line this would be quite a jump, and well worth having.

I phoned them to arrange it and they said it only applies non-business lines. Mine is a business line.

Does anyone know if there is something similar for business lines?



Thanks - Adam

I think you can also double up connections somehow.

Mines a domestic line and I replaced the standard master socket with an XTE
filtered socket and I got a hike of around 1mb. Only cost about £18 as well
for the new faceplate.

OK thanks.


Mine has a faceplate that is marked "ADSL V1.0".

What is that - is that the socket you describe?


Thanks - Adam
