    Quick question.

    Can I tell what exchanges two phones are on by comparing numbers?

    A neighbor can get DSL and I can’t, and I think we may be on different exchanges.

    My number is (Area Code 1) AAA XXXX

    My Neighbors number is (Are Code 1) AAA YYYY

    From that can we tell if we are on the same exchange

    Put the numbers through the line checker at the bottom of this page: http://www.smarttelecom.ie/index.html

    The exchange name will be included in the result.

    Thanks for that

    Sure enough we are on different exchanges

    But when I enter my neighbour’s number on the Smart page it says that they cannot get DSL, even though they have it.

    Are these line checkers accurate?

    Should one order DSL from a supplier anyway and see how it goes. ?

    That just means he can't get Smart DSL. Different setup to Eircom DSL and only in a few exchanges. If your number fails the Eircom checker then no provider will accept a broadband order.

    Is there DSL in the exchange you're on?
