Still umming and ahhing about doing this. The phone socket near the pooter isn't the master socket and is behind some cupboards, too, so a right PITA to get at.

IIRC  The Openreach engineer can move the master socket for you if required when they come to do the installation.  The alternative would be to buy a pair of these http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop/ShopSearch.asp?CategoryID=433 then you can push the connection anywhere in the house.

My neighbour is an OpenReach engineer and I was gonna ask him about it, but I've annoyingly forgotten his name!

I'm getting 7Mb down at the moment, which I find perfectly adequate, but my upload speed is only 0.3. That is the annoying bit...

I'll be Going Postal after hearing that noise again!!!

I had a PC with a 'soft' modem and only 64MB of RAM thus I kept getting booted when there was no system RAM available - for a year I would hear that f'ing noise every few minutes!!! Then I bought a hardware modem and got happy.

Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.

It's a shame I can't do one from the right place as we are Gigabit to the Internet.  :wink:

I'd heard that there are a few gigabit providers about, but thought that they were just testing six areas?

Seems to be a bit quicker but nothing major, but I've not paid anything so I'm no complaining.
