ISP exchange locator?

[THE PiNCH]

we are coming to the close of a yearly contract with Virgin here in my shared house (an ex housemate signed it) and I've been looking at several options for faster (unlimited) and maybe even cheaper broadband in my locality (Brighton UK)... ADSL2+ looks good

reading independent reviews on forums, I learnt that the advertised speeds may only apply if you live close to the ISP exchange...
however the frikkin bandit telecom co's seem to deem it too much information to share with their customers...

Major Australian cities have ISP EXCHANGE LOCATORS on a national site,
do you have one in your area? (I saw an LA one I think)
and, most importantly, is there one for mine?

Would be handy info for everyone - I have left this same question on web-boffin forums too - I'll post any useful links




(and so I know - whats the general consensus on where this sort of web thread gets posted here? - technique>digital or anything goes?)

Well .. this has nothing to do with "technique>digital" .. or posters at all, so - Anything Goes.

I would suggest cable and stay away from DSL.

*and why are you typing your posts in grey?

haha - I'm glad you mentioned that - my email is set up to do it by default - cos it can and I like it...

I started doing the same here just because I could and I like it....

I like it less now because I'm bored of the extra clicks - but it takes little time, in fact, its habit...

I remember Dave M used to make his pink - it took about 6 months for me to get the joke

As you have mentioned it - especially as its you Clay - this will be my last grey post!

laugh away guys - I can handle it
