And to think that in 2001/2002 BT refused to provide any ADSL service,
saying my line was far too long for even 512k to work :-)


I had to wait 2 1/2 years because of BT's obduracy. My theory is that they
thought that they could keep their costs down by not bothering with the
problems of long (high loss) lines.

Me too. I was first told my line was incapable of supporting ADSL.
Now I get 2.5Mb on ADSL Max.
