.....and its still complete pants!

"Sorry, details of the exchange serving your number could not found. This is
because your local BT Exchange has not been upgraded for ADSL service yet or
you receive your telephone service from another telecoms
supplier."...........

so what's that supposed to tell me then???? (Clue: I'm on a BT Line, gave
it a postcode as well & every exchange in the surrounding area has already
been upgraded except the one we are on.)

Same old bollox!

Dave,
how did you find that you had coverage then? Is there a number to call?

I got this as well. I simply cannot believe BT cannot find out an
exchange from the number and postcode. It beggars belief!!!
