I was just wondering if it was somewhat possible to migrate to a nearer telephone exchange?
It's just that I can only receive a line of 1.5Mbps, and I'm paying a fortune for a little speed.
I am 3.01km straight line distance from my nearest exchange, and I cannot receive cable, ADSL 2+ is set to be enabled in Q1 2009.
Router Statistics are as follows:
ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 2240 kbps 448 kbps
Line Attenuation 63 db 15.5 db
Noise Margin 7 db 14 db
So with the length of my line, what speeds should I be expecting? (I have taken the BT line test, and it showed 1.5Mbps). But that result seems too poor to be true!
So; is it possible to migrate to a nearer telephone exchange, or request maintenance on my phone lines?
Thanks in advance,
Andy

On a side note: Will Adsl 2+ make any difference for me when it is installed at my exchange, and i choose the corresponding package when available?

I supposed I have what I have, it isn't going to change, and if it does BT will set a date for like 2015

Sorry, I wasn't meaning to make it sound like you were fortunate, more that it could be considerably worse than it currently is!
Realistically, the implementation of wBC and 21CN isn't going to give you much of an improvement sadly.
