    Hi,
    My house used to have a land line but we cancelled this and disconnected it a year or two ago, as we could not get broadband on it and it was not worth keeping for the land line calls alone. The reason that it could not be used for broadband was that it was split between us an a neighbor's house and their was no extra room at the exchange for a new "un-split" line to be installed.
    Is it possible to find out if this situation has changed and if it would be possible to get a new broadband capable line installed now?

    Thanks,
    David.

    Hi David,

    Thanks for your post. Can you confirm if the phoneline location is the same one as your inquired about last August?

    At the time my colleague Tony advised the phoneline failed to pre-qualify for Broadband due to being on a carrier.

    I'd be grateful if you could PM any details, or changes that may have been made in the past 12 months.

    Best Regards,
    Ant
