The service was a fresh install after moving home, so no MAC code required. Nothing to do with BT failing to inform O2 my line is clear. You are on a completely different exchange to me, and if you are getting ADSL2 then it's because you are going straight onto the O2 (or Be in this case) network. Our exchange is LLU, but O2/Be haven't bothered upgrading us. It had nothing to do with BT, whose broadband I will be moving to when I can escape O2's contract. All of my neighbours (none with O2) get 5 or 6 Mbps here. I regularly get speeds of about 100Kbps due to ridiculous contention. O2 take my money and completely fail to deliver anything approaching usable service. I am an experienced network engineer and used to re-sell ADSL. I know a hell of a lot more about it than most people and I certainly know who is at fault in this case and it's not BT. Amit you don’t know any of the facts, and your assertions are quite wrong.
