Tim,

we're in the same situation - too far from the exchange.
I keep wondering 'how much slack is there in that phone cable' ;-)

Rats - I only needed 98 more subscribers.  Well back to sitting on my arse
and waiting for BT/NTL.  My house is 200 Yards too far from the exchange. 
I
could move a couple of door up!

Liberty broadband no longer exist.

See

http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/archive/28752.html

It's since been bought out by Firstnet.

Firstnet however seem to not want the hardware that's still attached to
the wall of my house.

Better still, if you can get 100 interested potential subscribers within a
15km radius they will bring Broadband to you - they even give you a
presspack and pay for your stamps!  Check it out
http://www.bringingbroadband2u.co.uk/.
 I am doing it at the moment - it
might come to nothing, but beats sitting on your arse and waiting for
BT/NTL
to come down your street.
