    Pulling Wires

    I tried it first before checking the cable spec. Stuck at around 90Mbps. Annoying as some of the cables are the cat5e just unlucky. But from what is mentioned above it might be with another go incase I did a bad job with the cable.

    The nervous wait to exchange....

    £500 deposit is 100% refundable. If you use the governments spread sheet to calculate it all it will show you if it will be approved (debt ratios etc). But I don't know if they do any other checks...
