Getting ADSL BB installed
Hello
According to the BT website and adslguide.org.uk my exchange will finally be ADSL enabled on Aug 4th. Can I take this as 100% correct and go ahead with the set-up?
I don't want to enter into a contract with an ISP and then find out my exchange hasn't been upgraded.
Anyone else been in this situation? What did you do? Wait until a neighbour gets it first?

As suba says, first thing ISP does when you apply is check whether ADSL is available on your exchange/number. Application will not proceed unless it is.

OK cheers
I guess I'm just so used to getting crap service in this country that I'm expecting things to go wrong. i.e.
me - my BB doesn't work
ISP - well it should
BT - yes your exchange is ADSL enabled
BT (after 5th call) - no your exchange is NOT enabled. We were on holiday that week. Sorry. Might get it done by Christmas
me - i'm not paying mr ISP
ISP - oh yes you are. It's not our fault
etc
etc..
lmao

...and then BT tell me they have activated my ADSL at the exchange and I plug in the modem and nothing happens. I proceed to tear my PC apart as they say it is DEFINITLELY on. 2 weeks later they go 'oops sorry' and flick the switch! I go mental!
