My exchange has been enabled for >2 yrs now but I cannot have ADSL, RADSL or anything else. When the line was put in, BT cut corners and now (semi-officially) explain that the copper is 'of sub-standard quality for data' and as they are only obliged to provide 9600baud ( <14.4k) there is NO prospect of the copper being replaced or upgraded. I only just scraped ISDN. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk http://www.dclug.org.uk http://www.wewantbroadband.co.uk/
