Or, you could find a map of where they are putting them, and move next to one.

No need, Simon, I know where ours is going to go, and it's at 213m. OTOH, if they want an alternative site, I have just the location for them, and it's so much closer.

Pay me land rent etc and they could put one next to my front door

I already have a distribution point in my meter cupboard. A nice BT engineer made sure I got the best pair coming in that he could find.

How can they tell what's good and what's not, Rik?
I am interested, because I've got a new line being installed in a few days time.

Strange, it's on my checklist, Gary.

A home by the sea with 8mb full sync adsl max in a truly stunning harbour village, or looking for LLU? Nope the Full sync ADSL Max is fine by me as the village I live in is beautiful and the Bungalow and Garden more than make up for LLU not being here, and I would not have changed my mind for anything, after all the internet is not real world, my life and my home and our happiness are

They check the resistance, they can also measure the length of the pair, which can vary, even within a cabinet.

OTOH, if you can get both...
