Your internet speed depends on your distance from the exchange and the quality of the lines. As if you need me to tell you that, but

For the first time, I found out how far form my exchange I am.

Approximately 671 meters from the exchange (straight line distance)

How far from your exchange are you?

Enter phone number or post code, and click the BT ADSL box under Summary

[smashie]

he he 295 metres away..

[telford_mike]

According to BT Wholesale, your line should be able to support a 0.5Mbps or greater ADSL connection.

And 0.5 Mbps is exactly what I get

September 2009 before things get any better apparently

Straight line distance means nothing your line can still be more then 3 times that length also I don't trust samknows for exchanges it seems to have some in the wrong locations.

[itsamac]

I am 1.6m and get between 8 to 10Mb with BE which is a lot better than the 1Mb I got on a BT ADSL Max service.

My Line Attenuation is 4.5 my router says so I must be very close to my one.

[961]

I'm not sure how much further this information takes us

I'm about 1.5 miles from my exchange in a straight line

But I'm actually around 5 miles from the exchange as the wire travels

Initially I was told broadband would be problematic and might need an engineer to connect at 512

I eventually got connected at 1mb

After upgrade of some old bits of line I now get 3mb

Straight line distance means very little

[Someguy]

865 meters. On Sky MAX and getting 8000 Kbps

Maybe BT are still stabilising my line. In my experience though after they stabilise it the line is slower.

[Singh400]

1.21 KM can easily pull 850 kb/s some I'm happy. :D

At my old house it was 666 metres!

i remember doing this check about 4 years ago, when the checker used to report that we were 620miles from the exchange, o how we laughed

Anyways, they now report we are 3.65km IIRC and are currently stuck at 512K connection, although i'm hoping that ADSL2+ will give us a better rate.

Looking at moving from PIPEX to Be or possibly Sky as we already have Sky+ multiroom.

[StealthHD]

427m straight line. with BT I would get 7.5meg but I'm with be so I get 20+meg download speeds

[PJTX100]

4.11Km

I usually get around 1.2Mb download and 448K upload (which i'm actually more interested in).

Sometimes the line drops when it rains.

Stands for Red Amber Green, like traffic lights. There are various criteria to establish colours given.
