    Follow up from my post earlier. I've jumped in with both feet, put a cease on my BT line and gone fully mobile. I'm very happy so far.

See what i mean
    so you'll be treated as direct from the exchange (i'e..Exchange Only).

    you should see a very marked uptick when It gets done.
    you being that far away i'd still expect +4mb atleast

    We are also on Cabinet 2 and been told to expect (possible) access to fibre by May. Does anyone know if that is a new cabinet that has been built inside the area where the council houses are in the middle of the village (Mey) or has that nothing to do with telecoms? Openreach told me that Cabinet 2 was at the end of the Scarfskerry road just before coming into the village. Is that correct? We are about 0.6 miles away from that but like others said on here have old copper wire running from the house. Since December I have been on to BT weekly about poor access often 'outages' late at night. The normal response is that the engineers 'are working on it' and everything will be resumed in two hours, 24 hours, etc. I sometimes wonder if they do anything and it just comes back on its on accord! Last night however, it went off completely (still blue light on hub though) so BT asked me if I had considered moving house as "thats as good as its going to get". What a bunch! It is really frustrating.....
