We've had a BT engineer who showed a bit of grey cell action... he tested our line against somebody else who has Broadband and they are getting 2.4Mbits and they are 1/2 a kilometre further down the line than us !!! Yayyyyyyyyyyyy at last some progress.....Yes Mr BT there IS something wrong with our line as I have been saying for the past 18 months or so.... Anyway the upshot is the engineer is going to try and swap out our crappy pair of copper wires for someone who doesn't have broadband and use their pair of wires instead....which may or may not improve our lot.... but that kind of scuppers the poor unfortunate people who end up with our two bits of wet string if they ever want broadband......but that's BT's problem not ours once the deed is done.... mind you the engineer didn't do himself any favours by stating that a village called Bronwydd nearby us were getting 7.6 Mbits and they were 6.9 kilometres from their exchange and yet we are only 5.2 kilometres and the best we can expect is 2.4Mbits ..... but to be honest anything above the dribble of broadband we are currently getting would be a bonus :) apparently it's all down to how thick the wire is they use, Bronwydd apparently has the thickest wires available but they did have the might of the Welsh assembly behind them smacking BT's backside to get them connected .....
