That same site had a compare packages link, got a list of them in front me now, bunch of them mention fibre optic, when that last check just said there wasn't fibre optic in my area?

Or that's how I understood it lol.

I don't like ADSL :( the speeds you get are based on how far you are from the BT exchange. If you're far, you'll get horrible speeds.

Cacked if they're based somewhere like London then.

North Wales > London = 1 billion miles.

WAIT A SEC: BT exchange as them small lil houses with security fences around them?

If so I've come across quite a few scattered about on my travels.

Some ISPs may offer fibre in your area, it depends. My area only supports BT and SKy fibre but not virgin media. You can do these checks on their official websites, they'll tell you whether you can get fibre or not.

No idea what an exchange looks like but I think they are local so it wouldn't be THAT far. There is a site that can check the distance you are from the exchange based on your phone number but can't remember it.

Ooooh, there's an exchange according to that site, just down in the village. :o

Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure there is something like that actually lol, but I derped.

So due to that being so close, is that ADSL package with BT a good choice then? :o

Even if it is... BT... :@

Random question out of pure curiosity:

Has anybody had any luck changing their name/getting the name they requested freed up so far?

The name I've been chasing for 2 years was finally freed up last night but ofc I missed it and it got sniped while I was online. It was a crushing blow to the soul and I cried myself to sleep for hours.

Was wondering if anybody else has had any luck so far or how much of these older names are really being freed up? :O
