jorja Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Hiwe recently moved to Issoire which is a fairly large sized town in the auvergne. we were told by france telecom that we would definitely have ADSL at the house so we applied for it only to find out 11 days later that we couldn't despite our neighbour, who's house is about 50 feet away having 2.4 meg ADSL. they told us that the area was saturated.i did this test on line and was wondering if anyone could explain what it means: Informations Techniques Eligibilité France TélécomLigne testée : 04 73 89 97 91Caractéristiques générales de la ligne :Code Commutateur Local : ISS63 [Couverture]Nom Commutateur Local : ISSOIRELongueur de ligne : 890 mètresAffaiblissement : 13.35 dB[Estimation] Débit descendant ADSL : 8149 kbps (1019 ko/s)[Estimation] Débit descendant ADSL 2+ : 24582 kbps (3073 ko/s)Caractéristiques IP/ADSL France Télécom :Plaque ADSL : AUVE-1Type de DSLAM : ALCATEL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Iceni Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Not bizarre, just the way the system works. And it is not just broadband, we have been told that we may not be able to upgrade our electricity from 6 Kw to 9 Kw - reason, the lines are old and may not be able to carry any more. I gather that in the UK even when BT say 100% Broadband cover they do not mean 100% as some will simply not get it.Hope you get it sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
