In practical terms what will this mean for me?

What are you talking about BB, ADSL has been about for around 10 - 15 years now?

Broadback · Sep 29, 2013, 15:12:06

Maybe for you, but my exchange (Barlaston) in the sticks is only being ena bled to end of this coming January.

Says it's been enabled since end of Jan 2004.

Broadback · Sep 29, 2013, 15:57:57

So I an an ignorant person. Still the question what does that mean to me?

Simon · Sep 29, 2013, 16:33:47

Where did you get the information from, BB? You must already be on ADSL, unless you're still using a dial up modem.

Gary · Sep 30, 2013, 08:20:42

As Simon says you have been on ADSL since 2004 IDNet would have put you (I take it you are with IDNet) on an ADSL Max package (2006) when you joined. Can you do a speed test? This info means nothing to you unless like Simon says you are using a 56k modem and dial up which really would not make any sense.

I misread it,saw 2014 instead of 2004, got my knickers in a twist, I apologise to one and all.

Simon · Sep 30, 2013, 09:08:32

Just as we thought you'd invented a time machine.

Sadly having looked there's no immediate hope of anything else.

Make you could use Xilo on LLU over CPW/TalkTalk but apart from that not much at all

Don't worry, it's an easy mistake to make. Especially as some less than honest Broadband sales companies will try to tell you "we upgraded/are upgrading soon" when what they mean is "we are selling to you now, even though we know we cannot deliver". Plus their posted adverts will contain all sorts of frivolous claims.
