What if I can't get broadband?

The Broadband Availability Checker does not automatically register your interest in receiving broadband services. After checking your number, follow the ‘What to do next’ link to sign up with a service provider. Signing up does not involve using a credit card or making a payment.

The Broadband Availability Checker provides only an assessment of the likelihood of being able to receive broadband at your home or office.

ADSL can only offer broadband data speeds where the telephone line between the home or office and the telephone exchange is a maximum of 5.5km - just over three miles - long. From late Summer 2003, we plan to extend the reach of ADSL broadband. This means that around 97 per cent of houses on enabled exchanges will be able to receive services. The proposed launch will be confirmed in September, subject to a pilot that is running throughout July and August. Your line will also have to pass further technical checks.
