Re: Is it worth changing to ADSL Max



Hi,

There are two many variables to work out likely speeds based on just line
length.

SNR and Noise levels are the way to go to get more accurate results or
predictions.

For instance here in Pembrokeshire BT fitted a lot of aluminium lines way
back and these are very poor at long lengths.

I have customers who are 5+ km from the exchange who can get 1 - 2 Mbits or
more easily where are others closer to their exchange cannot get ADSL at all
or at such a poor speed and low reliability it's not worth having.

Kind Regards

Simon
