Hello John
Thank you for your reply. I think the maximum speed was 512 but i'm not sure where I can check on the BT site anymore - they just seem to want to suck me into buying their ISP services and I'd sooner cut my right hand off than give them any more of my money!
I phoned BT today to ask them about the noisy line - I can hear it on phone calls too but the lines were busy. They promised (an automated promise) a call back within 45 mins but surprise, surprise I didn't get one. Oh how I wish the cable companies would consider servicing the rural population.
Can you recommed somewhere I can check the maximum speed possible for my line?
Jules
