That's what happens when you live in a mobile home.
Should have stuck with FTTC like us commoners.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

I had same situation when renting a house near a client, that happened to be across the road from the exchange. So my direct line was slower than if I'd rented somewhere at the other end of the street that went via a cabinet.
They should (and maybe some do) offer FTTP in those cases, even if it has a one off installation fee.
I always check what is available via samknows (or other suitable source) before moving to make sure I don't get gotchad like that. That's how I found out I could get FTTC via Plusnet where I am now, when checking if anyone other than BT/Plusnet was available yet. Nothing through the door or from Plusnet to say I could upgrade from adsl, so it came as a nice surprise.
I did mull over not telling any of the neighbours to avoid them all piling on and spoiling the contention.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

My exchange is about 200 yards out from my back garden, but I think the cable goes in the opposite direction down the road to the cabinet. Managed ~18Mb on ADSL which is about as good as it got; main benefit of FTTC is the big increase in upload speed.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment
