I have been stuck with ukonline 2000 for nearly a year after stupidly signing up with them! I see that my BT exchange is now gone to adsl max capable and my year with ukonline is nearly over? i have tried to see if i can get a service faster than 2000 but the sites dont come up with anything faster!

I wanted to know if there was a way i can test my line to see if i will be capable of getting faster speed's? my currant BT exchange is Llandudno and postcode is LL30 2EH..

Thanx in advance!!

You'll get more. How much is impossible to say for sure - the only way to know is try it and see.

What does www.bt.com/broadband say for your line (since the postcode's completely worthless)?

While you're at it, you could try reading the FAQ, especially the signature rules.

Direct quote (with phone number removed) would be a start.

Other than on LLU (Samknows is your friend), with prices that probably rank as crazy, or a high probability of it all going belly up, no.

For Telephone Number ***** on Exchange LLANDUDNO

Your exchange is ADSL enabled, and our initial test on your line indicates that your line should be able to have an ADSL broadband service that provides a line rate up to 2Mbps.

Our test also indicates that your line should be able to support a potential ADSL Max broadband line rate of 6Mbps up to 8Mbps.

The actual ADSL Max line rate supportable will be determined during the first 10 days of use, after which time the highest stable rate possible will be set.

Fixed rate only goes as far as 2Mbps, so the rest makes (more) sense.

There was home500, home1000 and home2000. Then they introduced Max. So now there are 4 offerings. You can either get a fixed speed of 500, 1000 or 2000 - or you can get max, which is whatever you can get.

I suspect when all the teething troubles are ironed out of Max, most ISPs will stop offering home500-home2000.
