I've put in my request for a house move to PN which is due to complete on the day we move in (the phone side at least) with the broadband 72 hours later.
After reading a few horror stories about house moves on here I'm keeping my fingers crossed that all goes to plan.
The only thing I'm not happy about is that we seem to be moving to somewhere where it's touch and go as to whether we can get broadband at all!!! The BT checker says 0.5Meg and that we "may need an engineer"!!! (Where we are just now I sync at 812

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it'll not be as bad as the checker says when the actual line is installed (there's no phone line in the house just now as it's a new build).
Anyway, I'm going to be without any broadband at all for a few days from Monday till the whole house move is sorted - how am I going to cope?

I took the kids to Berkahamsted while we were down there and had a walk along the canal (junior no.1 spotted the play park there and the Mr. Whippy ice cream van so had a few problems getting him to leave!!!). Very nice little place it has to be said!

and they built the new roads up to the "Leisure Park by Halbeith road about - that they would have put a new satelitte exchange in ! ?
And even Mutimap's OS maps don't show everything yet !
For those who may not know the area - this was where the Pitreavie Castle / MoD Air sea rescue centre used to be etc.
Now it has one of the two large Sky TV customer service centres !

I tried that.
If you live my side of the roundabout you get maybe 7Mbps; other side 16Mbps.
So it's a slight over-estimate for me.

So can't imagine you will get good speeds if you are miles from exchange as well as being in a field!
ps have just looked at samknows site and it does not recognise my address - the nearest it offers is about half a mile away and says that is 2859meters from exchange.
