A quick question on this subject:
The physical lines carry signal up and down as in a network cable style or port [house] by port in a token ring fashion.
I have just have an ISP tell me that even though I am 600m as the crow flies and 850m via road from the closest exchange that my line length is; wait for it, 5780m away from the exchange.
For that to be the case, they will have to travel all the way into the city and then back out again and still have distance to spare!
I am stuck between BT and the ISP. ARGH>>>
btw, thanks for the fab info and link on the forum already. checked them all out but am still stuck, hence the question.
Look forward to a speedy reply to get this sorted before I lose cable internet!
cheers
Paul
