That exchange search is really useful. It shows that some of the rural exchanges don’t stand a chance of getting high speed broadband as it’s just not worth putting it in. 300 properties on one I looked up and as it’s a high percentage of holiday homes there there will be very few full time broadband accounts there.
The idea of opening up high speed broadband to the countryside just isn’t economical.

@Adam it got my home location OK, not spot on like but good enough. Another site to check that Seb the owner of ThinkBroadband runs is also worth a look http://www.broadband-notspot.org.uk/

Not to sure how accurate it is, as it says you can’t get ADSL2+ on my home address but i’ve got it and get about a 12MB download speed plus at my office it rates us as getting a 4.5MB and we are lucky if we get 1MB
