Does PN still have a link for these?

Is this what you're looking for: https://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange_search

From a phone number it can tell you what services are available at an exchange.

The SamKnows exchange checker has not been updated for the exchanges that have been more recently (within the last several months) upgraded for WBC ADSL2+.

The most authoritative and updated checker should be:

Thanks; neither SAM or Exchange Checker show 21CN available on my exchange, but PN have advised I'l be migrating to it soon, which should double my upload speed too possibly.

"Harry B said 'I've also noticed 21CN is available'"

So I assume they've got more up to date data set available to them; OR link kindly provided does show:

There are no left in jumpers available on this line. This line is on a Market A Exchange.

There is an open order on your line which is due to complete by 27-Apr-2016.

My change to 21CN has made a substantial improvement in upload & D/load speeds;
surprised as I am on long line and at end of our village. (5.1 km by road from Exchange).

Heading in direction of 4mbps it seems

And prior to this stability on line was really awful with several disconnections a day.

There's room yet for improvement on that SNRM!

Please perform a quiet line test - dial 17070 select option 2 using a corded phone plugged into the test socket behind the face plate of the master socket. It should be silent.

I have reset the fix to Oldjim as it was his post that gave the required link.

OT: @jaread83

When Mav worked his magic, I saw a "Mav has accepted YOUR fix..." Flash message. Is this on your lithium bug list? I've also just discovered that the flash messages are clickable!

Re: 21CN-Exchange-Availability checker

Mav — Mon, 02 May 2016 11:17:37 GMT

I wish clicking on a flash message would open it in another tab, though

Ooooo! Just realised that lithium did not self capitalise - when was this fix deployed?

For what it's worth, I've done some digging around and found what's causing this. You should now be able to say lithium without it auto-replacing it with Lithium.

Speed test still shows upload at 0.3, whereas router 0.9

Why the big variance; far less variance on d/load, 3.6/2.7.

On cord phone line is quiet.

Can you run a BT speedtest, doing the further diagnostics after the first test completes? http://speedtest.btwholesale.com/

Re: 21CN-Exchange-Availability checker

Gel — Tue, 03 May 2016 16:47:01 GMT

Here we go; same results. Must state that this is wifi as my Dell has no Network socket.

I could dig out an old Vista pc, with Network port.

I'm just trying a session kill from our side, try a speedtest again in a few minutes and see how that looks.

If you could try a disconnect/reconnect please. That'll just rule that out.
