Currently things can be very patchy, With literally one end of a road being enabled and the other end not. (In the case of my road these are even cabinets with consecutive numbers.

(Even if you have no extensions connected). Also putting the numbers into https://www.btwholesale.com/includes/adsl/main.html will usually also tell you the cabinet number. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEUEARECAAYFAlHV8H0ACgkQsoRLMhsZpFd22gCcCVN+2IEIPymx52+1Lt/nOUgQ m1YAl2/maFAvS/3tBMET+09ltpfhgh4= =D2Tp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
