I'd like to know what the situation is here. Am I too far from the cabinet to get VDSL?I've looked at the VDSL distance/speed chart and reckon even at the worst case we should still get 8-10 MB/s on VDSL which would already be a big improvement on the 3MB/s or so we get now on ADSL2. It is utterly frustrating - and random - that villages not much further away from the exchange are getting the full 80MB/s simply because they have a local cabinet, whereas I imagine when my village was connected sometime pre-war it was convenient to put the cabinet about 200m from the exchange. There must be many in the same situation.

How do your "3Mbps" current speeds compare to the estimated speed and the range given by the checker?

I'm 1.3 miles from the green cab and I can sometimes get 10Mb/s. The engineer who installed it was surprised it worked at all . However this is 5 to 6 times faster than my previous ADSL 2, so I am more than happy - when I get those speeds.
I'm less happy when I don't get that max speed - like today when it has dropped to 3mb/s but there will be a reason -- finding it can be a long winded but tiresome process .
I need to report a problem!

Quote from: vierne Already been there - no interest as their responsibility stops as soon as the cabinet is enabled.
I don't think that is true. Contact your district and county councillors and kick up a fuss.
