explore and I haven't got around to it yet.

Might be worth actually applying for it anyway since you may find the BT
checker is not always right. That would also log your interest that may
figure in decisions to upgrade the exchange.

Failing that then trying to find a local property you can see that can
get BB might solve your problems if you can talk the owner into
accepting a free BB account on the understanding you can wifi into it!

Is ADSL very expensive for BT to put into a local exchange? Why, I

Depends a bit on what type of exchange it is and whether it has capacity
to add the DSLAM equipment required.

wonder, don't they just fit it everywhere as standard - they make
enough profit overall and then they could just say - Britain is 100%
covered!

Bean counters to satisfy no doubt....
