Just a technical point here. A connection does not get slow from "sharing a PSTN line that's split with voice/Broadband"

The DSL signal presented onto the line runs at a completely different frequency (25Khz and above) to the voice traffic (4Khz and below)

The download speed you will get will obviously be dependant on the plan you subscribe to, but indirectly, due to attenuation (the loss of data due to the large amount of electrical resistance encountered as the data moves between the DSLAM and the user's DSL modem), the farther you are located down the cable run, the worse your speed will be.

This is why the ISP runs a check first to see if you are within the min distance to get an acceptable signal (although some may be unlucky enough to be on the fringes of acceptability)

Not sure what your damage is mate.
I currently work in 3rd level escalation for the ANZ networks team.
Prior to that, the HP Managed Network Services team.
I have spent the last 15 years full time in IT, most of the that as a Network Engineer.

Remind me what you do for a living and where you get off insulting me for no reason ?

Ive read my posts, and i wasnt insulting you, Im a gas installer,allthough i did sub contract to BT for a longer time that i care to remember, maintaining the exchange and inside that exhange is... DSLAM,......... so you know thier broadband is goin down the same PSTN line, yes the speed does decrease the further away from your exchange your located, im not disputing that, all i am saying is what i know, dial up customers, share more of the line that broadband users. hence broadband appose to narrow band,

Typically voice is 300 hz to 3.4 khz

So essentially isnt the problem, Bandwidth. The pre-requisite component of telephony.

Kewl!!! Only got it set up a couple of days ago in new place! Cable as opposed to ADSL, so was sceptical. So far very impressed though!!!
