I thought for a minute we were included, but no.

I don't think you are missing out on anything.

So once the exchange has been upgraded.......what happens next? I suppose if you are still a long way from the exchange with old copper cables you won't see much difference until (hopefully)fibre cables are laid.

I'm afraid that with the length of your line, Phil, 21CN won't do anything for you, and could give you a worse result. :(

Just a question...so once your exchange is 21cn enabled does that mean that fftc will soon be following or is a total separate issue?

Hi Unc,

I think it's totally separate and the answer could still be never for some !

Kind regards,
Walter

in true Victor Meldrew fashion.....

I don't believe it !!!

Wrexham North #151 !!!

Gives me an interesting option, as I'm a tiscali customer, with only TT and AOL options on my exchange, BUTsky have just LLU'd it too, so was toying with having another line put in for that...Think I may just wait for a while now..

...but that means BT's DLM :( ...

..decisions, desisions.....
