Put the postcode into the BT broadband checker (assuming you don't
know the telephone number)

If you are moving to somewhere urban, it will almost certainly be
enabled..

For many users these do not offer satisfactory alternatives to ADSL or Cable
Broadband. 64K ISDN is a lot slower that even 256k Broadband. Getting an ISP
that supports channell bonding used to be hard and expensive.. Note that if
you can't get Broadband you may not be able to get ISDN either.
Have a look at http://www.bt.com/btmidband/hm_presale.jsp for BTs solution.
(note the 97% of population, about the same as BT Broadband).
(prices are on this page).

Satelite is not a good alternative for browsing. The log delay means pages
are slow to load. Most systems incorperate some kind of cace to speed up
access.

Its pretty good. "Most" homes can get it, but there are situations where it
may not be available, (Aluminium cables, TPON, DACS and no free pairs), no
exchange capacity...

You need to check the house you want to buy because even if its in a BB
enabled area there may be things that stop that house getting it.
You need the existing phone number and postcode. Stick them into any one of
the ISP's BB checkers,,,,,
