Hi, 

    I have a pretty poor broadband experience. Currently I am on ADSL at about 7Meg (on a good day). VDSL isnt an option currently due to the distance from the cabinet. I am rural so Fibre isnt likely to ever be an otion (which is annoying as a fibre runs past my front door to my kids school). I could go to a 4G RBI but the cost at my usage is prohibitive.

    I have used Chrouses own checker and found that the neihbour on one side has VDSL at 109Meg ! and on my otherside has ADSL at 12Meg. I have checked various broadband maps and cabinet location maps to deduce that I am at the very end of the copper line coming in one direction. and my 'fast' neighbour is on a different copper line to a much closer cabinet. hence his much better experience. His house is probably around 70 metres away. And i even believe the line actually reaches the edge of my property.

   Is there anyway to get attached to that line instead of the crappy line i am on now ? I realise that Chorus dont seem to care about anyone on a copper line these days, but can it be done ? It is extremley frustrating, and it doesnt seem that anything will be done to help rural broadband users unless they are willing to pay through the nose.

 Thanks in advance.
