I know this is a hopeless cause, but given the wide range
wouldn't it have been fairer for BT to set a % threshold (say 1%) rather
than
an absolute number (200-500)?
Anyway at least they are doing something.

Depends on the type and location of exchange :-)
Rural Exchanges < 3000 (Some remote UXD5's in Scotland
and
Wales only have 200-300 lines)
Towns <
30,000
Large Towns and Cities Can be 100,000
lines
You can guess the size of the exchange roughly by looking
at
the number ranges
eg
Great Yarmouth (01493)
has
842xxx = 1000 numbers (000-999)
843xxx
= 1000 numbers (000-999)
844xxx = 1000 numbers
(000-999)
85xxxx = 10000 numbers (0000-9999)
330xxx = 1000 numbers (000-999)
331xxx = 1000 numbers (000-999)
332xxx =
1000
numbers (000-999)
745xxx = 1000 numbers
(000-999)
That gives a number range of 17000 numbers although the
total
number of lines can be far higher and a single number on a PBX can easily
have
20-200 lines
The Great Yarmouth code 01493 also covers exhanges outside
Yarmouth with ranges
70,72,73,74,75,36,37,38,39,44.48 and more I cant remember
plue
30xxxx is reseved for the cable companies.
As you can see, it is difficult to give a precise answer
but
looking at the numbers on Shopfronts and Taxis etc in your town should give
you an idea of the number ranges in use therefore an indication as to the
size.

And your starter for 10 is .... what is the average number
of
subscribers per exchange (and for good measure what's the standard
deviation).

The "Exchange" is the collection of racks that feed you
your
telephone service.
Normally there is one exchange
per
building. (there can be more than one exchange in a building in large
cities)
One exchange can serve many villages, often located
centrally in a group of 3 or 4 villages.
A normal
town
will have one exchange
Large towns and cities can
have
several exchanges
There are often 20 or more
exhanges
to a single STD code.

Stupid question: but what's the definition of an "exchange"
-
is it the std code or is there a finer granularity if so how do you find
out
what the extent of your exchange is?

well...
"The demand and the target
levels will be clearly visible to all and will
help
individuals, communities, local authorities and service providers to
have a direct impact on broadband roll out."
it sounds to me like they will have an almost Blue
Peter Appeal feel to it!

Ian, that's a very ambitious statement given that
it
is BT we're talking
about here! ;)
However I notice the lack of any further info or how many people
have
shown an interest etc :/
