unfortunately not Sad

Ive tried there before but no luck Sad

All I can get (due to distance and quality of my line) is 512k Sad

they are doing free upgrades to 2MB but I cant get that either Sad

Hm you must be really far from the phone switchboard, I think they said 1Mbps is working up to 6km.... I am 4,5km but still I cant get anything cos there are some archaic things on the route killing adsl signal Sad

The limit for ADSL service used to be 18,000 feet (5,460 meters) - and im 5.5km Sad

they knocked me back 4 times before I finally got it on the 5th try (BT knocked me back, Pipex did it first time)

theyve upped the limit to 6km since then
but they wont upgrade me because they say my line quality is too bad Confused

im not sure whether to push for it (tell them to do it anyway) or to leave well enough alone Confused

IF I get them to do it the quality of my connection might be worse Confused

atm it runs well, just a little slow.
